“As the water provider for one in four Missourians, we
understand the role fire protection plays in the overall vitality
of the communities we serve,” said Rich Svindland, president of
Missouri American Water. “October is National Fire Prevention
Month, and we’re proud to provide grants to provide training and
equipment that will enhance the safety of firefighters, first
responders and citizens throughout the state.”
Reliable water service is critical for fire protection, and
Missouri American Water is investing more than $500 million this
year to improve service and reliability. Many older water mains are
upsized when replaced, increasing water flow to enhance fire
protection. The company also maintains and annually tests 44,000
fire hydrants throughout the company’s footprint.

Missouri. The recipients are:
