YORK WATER COMPANY FILES FOR RATE INCREASE
York, Pennsylvania, April 28, 2004: The York Water Company (NASDAQ:YORW) on April 28, 2004 asked the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission for a general increase in rates.
Jeffrey S. Osman, President and CEO, said the Company is asking for a $4,869,970 or a 22.1% increase in revenues.
Osman stated, "This increase is necessary because of the Company's over $23 million investment in our Susquehanna River Pipeline Project, which will allow the Company to continue to meet the water needs of our customers, and will set aside the possibility of water rationing, plant closings and discontinued operations associated with drought emergencies and water restrictions."
The York Water Company serves approximately 156,000 people in 35 municipalities in York County.
