GREENWOOD, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The American Water Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization established by American Water, the largest publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company, announced today that it is providing a combined total $50,000 disaster relief grant to the Johnson County Community Foundation and Wabash Valley Community Foundation to support communities impacted by recent weather events in the Indiana American Water footprint.
