York, Pennsylvania, August 9, 2006: The York Water Company’s (Nasdaq: YORW) President, Jeffrey S. Osman, announced today the Company’s financial results for the second quarter and the first six months of 2006.

President Osman reported that the first six months' operating revenues of $13,630,000 increased 5.4% over the first six months of 2005, and that the first six months' net income of $2,725,000 increased 0.6% compared to the first six months of 2005. President Osman also reported that second quarter operating revenues of $7,016,000 increased 4.8% over the second quarter of 2005, and that net income of $1,466,000 decreased 0.8% compared to the second quarter of 2005. The increase in revenue is attributed to an increase in the customer base of approximately 2,500. Higher operating expenses slowed growth in net income for the periods.
