Meet Puddles!

Puddles' journey began in 1996 as a promotional item given away at the New Jersey League of Municipalities. The rubber duck's popularity at the conference was so successful that American Water decided to distribute Puddles to employees and at external events throughout the year.

Today, Puddles serves as the official announcer for American Water. Whenever significant events occur within the company, a new version of Puddles is created and distributed to employees as a keepsake. Attendees at tradeshows and conferences actively seek out Puddles, as they have come to recognize the rubber duck as a symbol of the company.
