                        REPORTS IMPROVED NINE MONTH EARNINGS

           York, Pennsylvania, November 10, 2003:  The York Water Company's
(Nasdaq: YORW) President, Jeffrey S. Osman, announced today the Company's
financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2003.

President Osman reported that quarterly operating revenues of $5,786,000
increased 9.7% over the third quarter of 2002, and that quarterly net income
of $1,494,000 increased 33.9% compared to the third quarter of 2002.
President Osman also reported that the first nine months' operating revenues
of $15,592,000 increased 5.1% over the first nine months of 2002, and that
net income of $3,301,000 increased 13.4% compared to the first nine months
of 2002. Increased revenues and net income resulted from the addition of more
than 800 new customers and a rate increase approved by the Pennsylvania
Public Utility Commission effective June 26, 2003.

During the first nine months of 2003 the Company spent over $5.9 million on
construction projects, primarily on its water distribution system to expand
its service territory, and additionally on the Susquehanna River pipeline
project and various main relinings.  The Company installed over 68,000 feet
of pipe through the first nine months of 2003.
