Pennsylvania American Water Completes Acquisition of Manwalamink Water and Sewer Company Systems
MECHANICSBURG, Pa., June 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pennsylvania American Water announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Manwalamink Water and Sewer Company's (Manwalamink) water and wastewater systems. The newly acquired systems serve approximately 1,260 water and 1,260 wastewater connections in Middle Smithfield and Smithfield townships in Monroe County. "Pennsylvania American Water is pleased to welcome our new Manwalamink water and wastewater customers," said Justin Ladner, President of Pennsylvania American Water. "We look forward to providing this community with safe, clean, reliable and affordable service by delivering on our technical expertise and decades of experience." The systems are directly adjacent to Pennsylvania American Water's existing Lehman Pike water and wastewater systems. During the next five years, Pennsylvania American Water plans to invest more than $7 million in system improvements to meet regulatory, safety and security standards. "We have owned and operated the Manwalamink water and sewer systems for over 45 years, and the owners and employees are well past retirement age," said Bob Shebelsky, CEO of Manwalamink Water and Sewer Company. "It's time to put the systems in the hands of a capable owner that will provide Manwalamink customers with safe and reliable service into the future." The purchase was approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) on March 27, 2025. In accordance with the PUC's approval, Pennsylvania American Water will adopt the existing Manwalamink water and wastewater rates for two years and will continue billing customers on a monthly basis. The PUC regulates the company's rates, and rules and regulations of service; thereafter, any future rate changes will require review and approval by the PUC. While many water and wastewater systems across Pennsylvania face challenges stemming from aging infrastructure, growing water quality and environmental regulations and, as seen with this acquisition, an aging workforce, regional consolidation has been identified as a viable solution. As the Commonwealth's largest water and wastewater company, Pennsylvania American Water is uniquely positioned with scale and operating expertise to provide superior services and solutions to communities throughout the Commonwealth. Pennsylvania American Water offers multiple customer assistance programs, including its longstanding H2O Help to Others Program™. For qualifying customers, the program offers grants of up to $500 per year for each water and wastewater service, a 30-90% discount on the monthly water service fee and a 20-80% discount on monthly volumetric water charges and a 37-85% discount on total wastewater charges.

Kentucky American Water Files Rate Request Driven by More Than $212 Million in Investment
Request reinforces company's commitment to providing safe, clean, reliable and affordable service LEXINGTON, Ky., May 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kentucky American Water filed a request today with the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) for new rates, reflecting more than $212 million in system investments. The request reinforces the company's commitment to replacing aging infrastructure and continuing to provide safe, clean, reliable and affordable service in compliance with environmental regulations for the benefit of customers. "Kentucky American Water is dedicated to the health and safety of our customers and the communities we serve," said Rob Burton, president of Kentucky American Water. "Our approach to long-term, efficient and consistent investments in our water systems enables us to deliver high-quality service to the more than half a million people we serve in 13 counties." Among the investments included in the request are the replacement of 30 miles of aging water pipelines and the upgrading of storage tanks, pumping stations, hydrants, meters and more. In today's filing, Kentucky American Water is seeking a total annual revenue increase of approximately $26.9 million, excluding Qualified Infrastructure Program (QIP) revenues that have already been approved. The company's rate request undergoes extensive, public review by the PSC, the Kentucky Attorney General's Office of Rate Intervention and other interested parties, such as the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. This process includes numerous interrogatories, public hearings and evidentiary hearings. The company's last general rate case was filed in June 2023. If the company's proposed rates are approved as requested, the water bill for the average residential customer using 3,900 gallons per month would increase about $9 per month. The new rates proposed in today's filing are a request only. Kentucky American Water anticipates that proposed rates will go into effect, on an interim basis, approximately seven months after the filing. The PSC will make the final decision regarding any change in rates within 10 months of the filing. Once a final decision has been made by the PSC, the difference between the interim and final approved rates is subject to a refund. Customers will be informed of the approved rates by mail and on the company's website. Kentucky American Water offers bill paying assistance programs that include payment plans, budget billing and, for income-eligible customers, the company's H2O Help to Others customer assistance program.
