The York Water Co’s May 30, 2025 rate filing seeks $20.3 million in water and $3.9 million in wastewater revenue increases to fund infrastructure, underpinning stable regulated cash flows (S&P Global)
The rate request is underpinned by a generous 10.9% allowed return on equity and an 8.01% overall return, reflecting attractive regulatory support for investor returns (S&P Global)
Through the end of the rate case test year the company will have placed $86.3 million of water infrastructure and $13.0 million of wastewater investments in service, bolstering its rate base and future earnings potential (S&P Global)

Despite higher revenues, The York Water Company’s net income for 2024 fell by $3.43 million and EPS dropped by $0.24 year-over-year, suggesting rising operating and interest costs may pressure margins (GlobeNewswire)
