"Pennsylvania American Water invested more than $722 million in 2025 to improve water and wastewater systems"

Wastewater is the used water and liquid waste that flows from homes, businesses and factories—everything from sinks and toilets to industrial runoff and process liquids. It matters to investors because collecting, treating and disposing of this water drives costs, regulatory exposure and business opportunities: like a city’s plumbing, failures require costly fixes while upgrades or treatment technologies can create revenue for utilities, construction, and environmental-tech companies.
