YORK WATER COMPANY REPORTS 3rd QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS EARNINGS

AND CLOSING ON TWO WATER ACQUISITIONS

York, Pennsylvania, November 7, 2012:  The York Water Company's (NASDAQ:YORW) President, Jeffrey R. Hines, announced today the Company's financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2012.

President Hines reported that third quarter operating revenues of $11,025,000 increased $574,000 and net income of $2,760,000 increased $396,000 compared to the third quarter of 2011.  Earnings per share of $0.22 for the three-month period increased $0.03 compared to the same period last year.

President Hines also reported that the first nine months operating revenues of $31,046,000 increased $498,000, and net income of $6,905,000 decreased $56,000 compared to the first nine months of 2011.  Higher revenues were due to an increase in the Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) and growth in the customer base.  Expense reductions, including a lower provision for doubtful accounts, reduced power costs and lower life insurance expenses, were offset by higher income taxes and increased expenses for depreciation, distribution system maintenance,   wages and benefits.  The DSIC is a surcharge allowed by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission for the replacement of aging infrastructure. Earnings per share of $0.54 for the nine-month period decreased $0.01 compared to the same period last year.

During the first nine months of 2012, the Company invested $8.8 million in capital projects for upgrades to its water treatment and enterprise software systems, as well as various scheduled replacements of aging infrastructure. In addition, the Company invested $463,000 in the acquisitions of water and wastewater systems during the first nine months of 2012.  The Company estimates it will invest an additional $2.8 million in 2012 for acquisitions, expansion and improvements to its systems and infrastructure to continue providing excellent customer service, ensuring a safe, adequate, and reliable supply of drinking water and to maintain proper handling and disposal of wastewater for the Company’s growing customer base.
