Explanation of Responses:

1. Includes 14 shares acquired pursuant to the automatic reinvestment in shares of common stock of American Water Works Company, Inc. (the "Company") of cash dividends paid on Company common stock to the reporting person, which shares were inadvertently omitted from prior Form 4 reports. This filing is deemed to appropriately correct the reporting person's prior Form 4 reports.

2. Each performance stock unit represented a contingent right to receive one share of Company common stock, based on the Company's annual relative total stockholder return over a three-year performance period, beginning on January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016.

3. Represents the above-target earned portion of the TSR performance stock units. In 2014, the Company granted 7,297 performance stock units, equal to the number of shares to be received if target performance was achieved.

4. Represents the end of the performance period to which the performance stock units relate.

5. Represents the earned portion of the TSR performance stock units, including target units granted in 2014 and above-target units earned based on TSR performance. The number of TSR performance stock units earned was 175 percent of the target.
