Missouri American now providing water service in Stewartsville

Feb. 28—Stewartsville, Missouri's, water and wastewater systems have been acquired by Missouri American Water, adding about 700 customers to the company's northwestern service area.

Missouri American Water plans to invest approximately $3.2 million to upgrade Stewartsville's water and wastewater systems over the next five years.

"Communities are facing challenges with current and future regulations for water and wastewater," said Jody Carlson, vice president of engineering and business development. "We have a proven track record of service, in some areas of Missouri for over 140 years, and I am proud we can help communities like Stewartsville maintain regulatory compliance and improve service reliability."

In November 2021, 90% of Stewartsville voters approved a ballot measure selecting Missouri American Water as their provider of water and wastewater service.
