       AMERICAN WATER WORKS COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
       -----------------------------------------------------------
          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
            
NOTE 1 -- Financial Statement Presentation
The information presented in this Form 10-Q is unaudited.  In the opinion
of management the information reported reflects all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments, which were necessary to a fair statement
of the results for the periods reported.  Certain reclassifications have
been made to conform previously reported data to the current presentation.


NOTE 2 -- Acquisitions
On October 13, 1998, the Company announced that an agreement in principle
had been reached to acquire National Enterprises Inc.(NEI)in a transaction
valued at $700 million.  Subsidiaries of NEI, a privately owned company,
provide water service to 504,000 customers in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana
and New York.  

The transaction, which will be accounted for as a pooling of interests,
will be accomplished through a tax free exchange of 14,937,000 shares of
the Company's stock valued at $475 million, for all of the outstanding
shares of NEI and $225 million of assumed debt.  It is anticipated that the
transaction will be completed in the third quarter of 1999, following
regulatory approvals, termination of the waiting period under Federal 
anti-trust laws and completion of other requirements.  

NEI is the parent company of Continental Water Company, which in turn owns: 
St. Louis County Water Company serving suburban St. Louis, Missouri;
Northwest Indiana Water Company serving Gary, Hobart and surrounding areas;
Northern Illinois Water Company serving Champaign, Urbana and surrounding
areas; and Long Island Water Corporation serving the southwest portion of
Nassau County on Long Island, New York.  NEI also has passive investments
in the telecommunications industry owning approximately 4 million shares of
ITC Deltacom and .6 million shares of Powertel as well as an interest in
privately held ITC Holdings.

All of the common stock of NEI is currently owned by descendants of the
Charles Stewart Mott family.  Upon completion of this transaction, the Mott
family will hold approximately 16% of the outstanding shares of American
Water Works common stock.  It is expected that two representatives of the
Mott family will be elected to the Board of the Company.


NOTE 3 -- New Accounting Standards
In 1999, the Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
(SFAS 133).  This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  SFAS 133 was issued by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board in June of 1998 and requires that
an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair
value.  As of March 31, 1999, the Company had no derivative instruments or
hedging activities.

                  PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                       and Results of Operations                      
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations
---------------------
First quarter revenues increased 5 percent from $226 million in 1998 to
$237 million this year.  Revenue growth for the first quarter of 1999 was
driven primarily by a 4 percent increase in water sales over the previous
period due to customer growth and recovery from reduced sales in California
related to El Nino in the first quarter of 1998.

During the first four months of 1999, two utility subsidiaries received
rate orders which are expected to provide $13.9 million in additional
annual revenues.  Included in this $13.9 million is $13.1 million awarded
to the Company's New Jersey subsidiary in early April.  Six subsidiaries
have rate increase applications on file before regulatory agencies which,
if granted in full, would provide approximately $60.3 million in additional
annual revenues.  The largest of these, the Company's Pennsylvania
subsidiary's rate case, has been filed requesting $40 million in additional
annual revenues.

Operating expenses were up 9 percent to $167.7 million in 1999 from $154.1
million in the first quarter of 1998.  Adverse winter weather experienced
at several utility subsidiaries contributed to increased maintenance,
purchased water and production costs.  Other expense elements of note were
expected increases in depreciation expense and general taxes, both related
to the Company's ongoing program of utility plant construction.

Interest expense rose by 10% to $40.1 million in the first quarter of 1999
compared to the first quarter of 1998, primarily due to an increase in
total debt to fund construction of new water service assets.  The total
allowance for funds used (equity and borrowed) during construction
("AFUDC") recorded in the first quarter of 1999 was $5.6 million, compared
to $2.4 million in the first quarter of 1998.  The utility subsidiaries
record AFUDC to the extent permitted by the regulatory authorities. 

Income taxes decreased in the first three months of 1999 when compared to
the first three months in 1998, as a result of decreased earnings.

Net income to common stock was $18.7 million for the first quarter of 1999
compared with $20.6 million for the same period in 1998.


Capital Resources and Liquidity
-------------------------------
All shares of common stock issued during 1999 have been the result of stock
issued in conjunction with the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase
Plan, the Employees' Stock Ownership Plan, the Savings Plan for Employees,
and the Long-Term Performance-Based Incentive Plan.









<PAGE>                           Page 12                       FORM 10-Q


During the balance of 1999, in addition to the NEI acquisition (see Note
2), the Company plans to issue shares of common stock through its Dividend
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, the Employees' Stock Ownership Plan
and the Savings Plan for Employees.  Proceeds from the issuance of common
stock will fund additional equity investments in subsidiaries.

The Company placed 108,875 shares of common stock into treasury in
connection with the Long-Term Performance-Based Incentive Plan in the first
quarter of 1999. 

In the first four months of 1999, the Company invested $2.1 million in the
common stock of a subsidiary.  It is anticipated that some subsidiaries
will sell long-term debt to institutional investors and common stock to the
Company during the remainder of 1999, with the proceeds used to fund
construction programs, continue acquisitions and repay bank loans.


Year 2000 Issues
----------------
Many computer systems in use today were designed and developed without
regard to the impact of the upcoming century change.  Computer programs and
devices often use only two digits for the year to identify dates.  As a
result, computer systems may fail completely or create erroneous results
unless corrective measures are taken.

The Company utilizes numerous computerized systems and date sensitive
devices in its operations.  If some of these key systems and devices are
not ready for the Year 2000 there will likely be adverse effects on the
Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition.  The
Company is also dependent on third parties that supply important materials
and services such as water treatment chemicals, electric power for pumps
and the processing of customer payments.  The failure of some of these
third parties to be Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis would also have
an adverse effect on the Company.  The Company has assigned a very high
priority to its Year 2000 compliance efforts, and as discussed below,
considerable progress has been made.  These efforts are expected to be
substantially completed in the second quarter of 1999.  

An inventory of all important computer programs and devices with embedded
technology has been prepared for each utility subsidiary.  Those
inventories are being used to track the status of any necessary upgrades or
replacements, and to log the results of testing by Company personnel to
ensure that all important systems are in fact Year 2000 compliant.  In some
instances work on other information technology projects has been delayed
because of Year 2000 remediation projects, but these delays are not
expected to have a significant impact on the Company's operations.

Because the Company is particularly dependent on its computerized
financial, customer service and treatment plant automation systems, those
systems are the primary areas in which Year 2000 efforts are focused.

The Company is currently implementing two new software packages for
financial and customer service applications that are Year 2000 compliant. 
Although the decision to purchase and implement this software was based on
an analysis of all of the Company's current and future systems 






<PAGE>                           Page 13                       FORM 10-Q


requirements, once the decision was made these projects became a key part
of the Company's Year 2000 compliance plan.  New enterprise software for
financial applications is now in use by all of the utility subsidiaries. 
The new customer service software is currently being used by two of the
Company's subsidiaries, and another subsidiary is expected to begin using
the new software in July.  Implementation of the new customer service
software will continue beyond 1999, so the customer service software
currently used by many of the subsidiaries is also being made Year 2000
compliant.  Several of the utility subsidiaries are now using the
remediated Year 2000 compliant customer service software, and this project
is expected to be completed in July.  In conjunction with these projects,
midrange and personal computers have been upgraded with hardware and
operating systems that are Year 2000 compliant.

Many of the Company's water treatment plants utilize automation systems
that are controlled by personal computers.  These systems are being tested
and upgraded if necessary, and that work has been completed at most
facilities.  The Company's production and distribution facilities also
utilize many pieces of equipment with embedded microcontroller chips. 
These chips, which may be time/date sensitive, are an integral part of
critical operating equipment.  Much of this equipment cannot be field
tested to evaluate Year 2000 compliance, so the Company used a systematic
approach to identify and resolve this issue that was completed during the
first quarter of 1999.  As a contingency, the Company's production and
distribution facilities can be operated manually in the event of an
internal Year 2000 related failure.  

In addition to the work being done on the Company's internal systems,
interfaces used to exchange information with banks and other entities are
being tested to ensure Year 2000 compliance.  And where feasible, plans are
being formulated to minimize the impact of problems outside parties may
have in providing supplies and services.

The cost of the new financial and customer service software, implementation
consulting services, and the cost of upgrading and replacing computers and
other equipment will be capitalized by the utility subsidiaries and
included in future rate increase requests.  The total cost of these capital
projects is expected to be approximately $45 million, of which
approximately $39 million has been incurred to date.  Costs for specific
Year 2000 remediation projects will be charged to expense unless they meet
the requirements for deferral as regulatory assets.  However, current
period expenses are not expected to be materially different from the usual
ongoing level of information systems related expenses.
