California American Water and the American Water Charitable
Foundation (AWCF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created by
American Water (NYSE: AWK), the nation’s largest publicly traded
water and wastewater utility company, announced today they are
providing a grant of $100,000 to Redwood Credit Union Community
Fund, North Bay Fire Relief for individuals and families impacted
by the wildfires in Northern California.
“These fires destroyed about a quarter of our service district
in Larkfield,” said California American Water President Richard
Svindland. “Our employees, many of whom themselves had been
evacuated, have worked around the clock amidst this destruction.
While I am proud of their work in having successfully restored
service to most of the remaining homes and businesses there, we
have many customers who will be displaced for years.”
“These devastating wildfires have directly impacted our
customers and our employees and the American Water Charitable
Foundation is pleased to join the many others who have contributed
their time and resources to support the people impacted by this
natural disaster,” said Laura Martin, president, American Water
Charitable Foundation. “We understand how critical clean, potable
water is in our daily lives and in times of emergencies, and we
hope this contribution can provide some assistance in the
communities where water or wastewater service has been
disrupted.”
“Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the fires,” said
Brett Martinez, Redwood Credit Union’s president and CEO. “We’re
supporting our Members, employees and communities in a variety of
ways with their financial needs. We’re also accepting financial
donations for the fire relief efforts and victims of these
devastating fires. We know there’s a long road ahead, but the
message to those who have lost so much is this—your community cares
and is with you. We’re here to help.”

The funding was made possible through the AWCF’s Disaster Relief
Grant and California American Water.
