Missouri American Water’s ongoing investments in water and wastewater system improvements, and the increasing costs of delivering high-quality, reliable service to customers, were the main drivers behind the rate changes. The new rates reflect infrastructure investments of approximately $115 million statewide from May 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011.
