Customer Notice: Ownership Transfer of Tennessee Water Service, Inc.

Oct 10, 2025

Notice is hereby given that Tennessee Water Service, Inc. (“TWS”) and Nexus Regulated Utilities, LLC (“Nexus”) filed a Joint Petition along with Tennessee-American Water Company (“TAWC”) and American Water Works Company, Inc. (“AWWC”) to request authorization of change of control, approval of the agreement and plan of merger, and for the issuance of a certificate of convenience and necessity with the Tennessee Public Utility Commission (the “Commission” or “TPUC”) on May 3, 2024. The Joint Petition and supporting documentation are on file with the Commission in Docket No. 25-00040.

The Joint Petition requests the approval of a stock purchase agreement and subsequent merger agreement that will ultimately result in the ownership of TWS being transferred to AWWC followed by the merger of TWS with TAWC, with TAWC as the surviving company. This Joint Petition does not propose any changes to the rates for TWS customers. The revisions to the tariff of TAWC as a result of this proposed transaction are attached to the Joint Petition as Exhibit I and can be viewed at https://share.tn.gov/tra/orders/2025/2500040.pdf.  These proposed revisions include the following changes to certain fees and charges, summarized in the table below:
