Missouri American Water to invest over $500 million in state-wide water infrastructure improvements
(UI) – Missouri American Water is investing more than $500 million in its water and wastewater systems statewide in 2024. The investments are focused on improving system reliability and resiliency by replacing aging infrastructure like pipes, pumps, and storage tanks and upgrading treatment plants.
Statewide, Missouri American Water is replacing over 90 miles of pipe this year. Replacing aging pipes improves system reliability, and in cases where water pipe is upsized, also enhances community fire protection.
“Missouri American Water is investing to maintain and enhance safe and reliable service as many essential components of our water and wastewater systems are reaching the end of their useful life,” said Rich Svindland, president of Missouri American Water. “Proactive investments are more efficient and cost effective for our customers, and we carefully plan these projects to meet the needs of the communities we serve as well as state and federal regulations.”
