The York Water Company reported a strong third quarter in 2025, with operating revenues increasing by $646,000 to $20,361,000 and net income rising by $338,000 to $6,201,000 compared to the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share also saw a $0.02 increase to $0.43. These gains were primarily driven by customer base expansion and revenues from the Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC), alongside lower income taxes due to IRS tangible property regulations. However, these positives were partially offset by increased operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation, higher interest on debt, and reduced allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC).
