- Business
- Aqua America, Inc. (NYSE: WTRU) operates as a legacy entity under Essential Utilities, Inc., providing regulated water and wastewater services to residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal customers through subsidiaries branded as Aqua; core offerings include water treatment and distribution systems, wastewater collection and treatment infrastructure, fire protection services, regulatory compliance monitoring, continuous system monitoring, preventative and emergency maintenance, and engineering with asset management and capital planning across eight states, namely Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. Founded in 1886 in southeastern Pennsylvania and headquartered in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, the company evolved from local water utilities like the Springfield Water Company into a holding structure established in 1968 as Philadelphia Suburban Corporation, rebranded to Aqua America in 2003, and further transitioned under Essential Utilities (NYSE: WTRG) following a 2020 name change after completing a transformational $4.275 billion acquisition of Peoples Natural Gas in March 2020, which expanded operations into regulated natural gas distribution serving over 740,000 customers primarily in Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Recent developments include multiple 2025 wastewater system acquisitions adding approximately 10,300 customers for $58 million year-to-date, such as the July purchase of the City of Beaver Falls system in Pennsylvania, alongside four pending agreements valued at $301 million to serve over 200,000 equivalent dwelling units including the $276.5 million Delaware County Regional Water Quality Control Authority (DELCORA); in August 2025, announcement of a data center water supply partnership in Greene County, Pennsylvania, involving an 18 million gallons per day treatment plant; and on October 27, 2025, entry into a definitive all-stock merger agreement with American Water Works Company, Inc. (NYSE: AWK) to create a $40 billion combined regulated water and wastewater utility serving 4.7 million connections across 17 states, expected to close by Q1 2027 pending approvals.
