Advertiser Staff

The state has given its approval for the planned spin off of American Water from its parent company, RWE AG, a German utility company.

American Water is the U.S. largest water services company and provides wastewater service for about 35,000 people in Hawai'i Kai and on the Kona Coast. The company has received approval from 13 states, including Hawai'i, for a transition to new ownership.
