SUPPLIERS & VENDORS

To successfully fulfill our mission of providing safe, reliable water and wastewater services to our customers and communities, the relationships we forge with our suppliers are key.

We partner with suppliers with specific goals in mind that help us to accomplish extraordinary things, such as: 

  • Enabling Innovation
  • Reducing Costs
  • Promoting Sustainability
  • Supporting Diversity 

Supplier Diversity

We welcome a variety of suppliers in each of our strategic sourcing projects and strive to maintain a diverse list of companies who work with us. To do this, we’ve implemented a Supplier Diversity Program to better offer smaller organizations and minority-owned, woman-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, disability-owned, veteran-owned business enterprises, the opportunity to supply us with essential products and services. To learn more or if you have questions, please reach out to us at supplierdiversity@amwater.com or fill out the short online form below to participate in our Diverse Supplier Development Program.

Supplier Resources

If you’d like to explore opportunities for providing products or services, please visit American Water's Supplier resource page. You’ll find the information you need to register with us.

If we are able to use the products or services you provide, a buyer will contact you to discuss the possibility of our companies working together.
