	The undersigned hereby constitutes, and appoints each of Linda G. Sullivan,

1. Prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's behalf,
and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID
including amendments thereto, and any other documents necessary or appropriate
to obtain codes, passwords, and passphrases enabling the undersigned to make
electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of the

promulgated thereunder, each as amended from time to time ("Section 16(a) and
Related Rules");

2. Prepare, execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
capacity as an officer and/or director of American Water Works Company, Inc.

Rules, and Form 144 in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the "1933 Act"),
including any amendments thereto, relating to the securities of the Company, and
file the same with the SEC and any securities exchange in accordance with
Section 16(a) and Related Rules and the 1933 Act, respectively;

3. Seek or obtain, on behalf of the undersigned, information on transactions in
the Company's securities from any third party, including brokers, employee

4. Perform any and all other acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that, in
the discretion of such attorney-in-fact, are necessary or desirable in

   The undersigned hereby grants each such attorney-in-fact full power and
