REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To: The Participants and Administrator
of the Savings Plan for Employees of
American Water Works Company, Inc.
and Its Designated Subsidiaries
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for benefits of the Savings Plan for Employees of American Water Works
Company, Inc. and Its Designated Subsidiaries (the "Plan") at December 31,
1996 and 1995 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that
we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included
in Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional
information required by ERISA. The Fund Information in the statements of
net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits
and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. Schedules I
and II and the Fund Information
<PAGE> Form 11-K
Page 7
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

SAVINGS PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES OF
AMERICAN WATER WORKS COMPANY, INC.
AND ITS DESIGNATED SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
- ----------------------------
The following description of the American Water Works Company, Inc. and
Its Designated Subsidiary Companies (the "Company") Savings Plan for
Employees of American Water Works Company, Inc. and Its Designated
Subsidiaries (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants
should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the
Plan's provisions.
General
- -------
The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan covering
substantially all full-time employees of the Company who have completed six
months of service and are age eighteen or older. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA").
Contributions
- -------------
Participants may contribute up to 10% of their annual compensation up
to $160,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and $150,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 as defined in the Plan. Effective January 1, 1996,
the Company began matching 45% of the first 4% of participant
contributions. Previously, the Company matched 40% of the first 3% of
participant contributions. For participant contributions received after
January 1, 1998, the Company will match 50% of the first 4% of participant
contributions. All matching contributions are invested in Company common
stock. In the event of certain circumstances, the Company may contribute
additional amounts. Forfeitures, if any, are used to reduce the Company's
future contributions to the Plan.
<PAGE> Form 11-K
Page 17
Participant Accounts
- --------------------
On January 1, 1996, a fifth investment option, the Vanguard Index
Trust-Small Capitalization Stock Fund, was added for participants'
contributions to the Plan. With the exception of the Company's
contributions to the Plan, each participant may elect to have their
contributions invested in any combination of five investment options in
multiples of 1%. Each participant's account is credited with their
contributions and an allocation of the Company's contribution and Plan
earnings. Allocations are based on participant contributions or account
balances, as defined in the Plan.
Vesting
- -------
Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions
plus earnings thereon. Vesting of Company contributions is based on years
of continuous service. A participant is fully vested in Company
contributions and earnings thereon after five years of credited service.
Payment of Benefits
- -------------------
Participants may, upon attaining 59 1/2 years of age, elect to withdraw
all or a portion of the value of their account. Upon termination of service
for any reason, participants may elect to withdraw the value of their
account, roll that account value over into a qualified plan or individual
retirement account, or defer this distribution until age 65. In all cases,
unless earlier withdrawn, participants will receive the balance in their
account upon the earlier of attaining age 65 if not then working for the
Company, retirement after reaching age 65, death or total disability.
Participants may elect to receive a lump sum amount equal to the value of
their account, an annuity, or a combination of both.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------
Basis and Presentation
- ----------------------
The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
- -----------------
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform previously
reported data to the current presentation.
Valuation of Investments
- ------------------------
Plan investments are stated at fair value. The Company stock is valued
at the closing price on the valuation date. Mutual fund investments are
valued at the closing net asset value on the valuation date
representing the value at which shares of the fund may be purchased or
redeemed. Collective income funds are valued by the Fund sponsor.
Contributions
- -------------
Employee contributions are recorded in the period during which the
Company makes payroll deductions from the Plan participants' earnings.
Matching Company contributions are recorded in the same period.
<PAGE> Form 11-K
Page 19
Benefit Obligations
- -------------------
Benefit obligations for persons who have withdrawn from participation
in the Plan are $26,143 at December 31, 1996 and $46,908 at December 31,
1995 and are recognized in the Plan financial statements when paid.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

NOTE 4 - PARTICIPANT LOANS
- --------------------------
Under the terms of the Plan, participants may borrow from their
accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or
50% of their contributions to the Plan including earnings thereon. Loans
are generally for a period not to exceed five years payable in equal
monthly installments, secured by the balance in the participant's account,
and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local market rates for
similar loans. If the participant uses the proceeds to acquire their
<PAGE> Form 11-K
Page 21
primary personal residence, the loan may be for a period not to exceed
thirty years. Participant loans withdrawn from the Plan totaled $350,353
and $137,204 in 1996 and 1995 respectively. Repayments of loans to the
Plan totaled $124,837 and $43,122 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
NOTE 5 - HARDSHIP WITHDRAWALS
- -----------------------------
Participants under age 59 1/2 may withdraw all or part of their
contributions (excluding earnings) only under certain hardship conditions.
A hardship withdrawal can only be requested after withdrawal of all
rollover contributions and any loans available under the Plan have been
obtained. Hardship withdrawals cannot be returned to the Plan and
contributions cannot be made to the Plan for 12 months after a hardship
withdrawal has been made.
NOTE 6 - ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- --------------------------------
Although it has no obligation to do so, the Company pays substantially
all administrative expenses of the Plan.
NOTE 7 - ROLLOVER
- -----------------
During 1996 and 1995, participants transferred account balances
totaling $285,711 and $50,240, respectively, from other qualified plans
into the Plan.
NOTE 8 - PLAN TERMINATION
- -------------------------
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of
Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their
accounts.
<PAGE> Form 11-K
Page 22
NOTE 9 - FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
- -----------------------------------
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
a letter dated April 15, 1995, that the Plan and related trusts are
designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
Code and are, therefore, not subject to tax under present income tax law.
Management is not aware of any course of action or series of events that
have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.
