Increase Driven by $1.1 Billion in Infrastructure Investments

ST. LOUIS, May 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Missouri Public Service Commission (MoPSC) approved new water and wastewater rates for Missouri American Water in a rate order on May 7, 2025.

The company’s rate request was filed on July 1, 2024, and was primarily driven by $1.1 billion in infrastructure investment in plant and distribution system upgrades made since its last rate filing.
