Pennsylvania American Water

Pennsylvania American Water is offering flexible payment plans to over 300 businesses in Pennsylvania struggling with overdue balances. This initiative aims to support small to medium-sized enterprises facing financial challenges. The company has already enrolled over 100 commercial accounts in installment plans, with more than 300 currently active. The payment arrangements are tailored to each customer’s circumstances. The Pennsylvania Office of Small Business Advocate negotiated with Pennsylvania American Water to establish this program to help small business remain stable.

Pennsylvania American Water urges customers in 12 counties, including Beaver, Butler and Schuylkill, to voluntarily reduce nonessential water use by 10-15% due to a drought watch declared by the Pennsylvania DEP. This preemptive measure aims to mitigate potential future restrictions. The company is investing in leak detection, infrastructure upgrades, and advanced metering. Customers are encouraged to use water conservation tools and follow tips such as fixing leaks and using water-efficient appliances. American Water is the largest regulated water and wastewater utility in the U.S.
