Grants available for community projects in the company’s service areas

 Tennessee American Water announced today that applications are now being accepted for its 2023 Environmental Program.

“Tennessee American Water is proud to launch the 2023 Environmental Grant Program, a long-standing initiative that aims to support local organizations that share our environmental vision,” said Lori Stenzel, Tennessee American Water Manager for Water Quality & Environmental Compliance.  “At Tennessee American Water, we are all responsible for protecting our community’s water and watersheds, and this program is just one way we help our communities engage in this vital effort.”

Tennessee American Water’s Environmental Grant Program offers funds for innovative, community-based environmental projects that improve, restore, or protect the watersheds, surface water and/or groundwater supplies through partnerships. Last year, the company awarded $10,000 in grants to five organizations.

Information and application requirements can be obtained on the Tennessee American Water website, tennessseamwater.com, on the Environmental Grant Program section of the website.

Applications must be postmarked by March 31, 2023, and projects must be based in one of Tennessee American Water’s service territories in Hamilton or Marion Counties, TN, or Catoosa or Walker Counties, GA.
