YORK, PA -- The York Water Company (NASDAQ:YORW) President and CEO JT Hand has acquired water and wastewater systems serving the Amblebrook Gettysburg community in Straban Township, Adams County, PA.
The water and wastewater facilities were purchased from CCD Rock Creek, the developer of Amblebrook, marking York Water’s third acquisition of the year and expanding the company’s water and wastewater service footprint to 51 Pennsylvania municipalities in York, Adams and Franklin counties.
“We are excited to bring ‘That Good York Water’ high-quality water and wastewater service to the residents of this premiere community in Adams County,” said Hand. “CCD Rock Creek has created a remarkable community and we are going to deliver an equally remarkable utility experience that our customers have come to expect for more than 200 years.”
Amblebrook is a new 55-plus active adult community located outside of Gettysburg. Under construction since 2019, the development plan approved by Straban Township calls for 2,000 residential homes, an expansive community clubhouse and other convenient lifestyle amenities.
“In York Water, we have found a top-rated utility provider that understands the business of water and wastewater operations,” said Pete Martin, Community Development Manager for CCD Rock Creek. “It was important that we found an owner with a longstanding reputation of stable rates, quality and a proven track record of responsible investment backed by the depth of experience to manage necessary services to the quality of life to our residents.”
York Water has demonstrated a long history of successful service and its employees take great pride in their ability to serve their customers across this region. We are confident that York Water will deliver superior utility service to our residents at Amblebrook, so we can continue to focus on providing first-class residential support and community amenities as this community grows.”
