Essential Utilities¡¯ Aqua Pennsylvania Agrees to Purchase Greenville Wastewater System for $18 Million
Transaction builds on more than $362.2 million in current purchase agreements for water and wastewater systems for Essential Utilities

 
Essential Utilities Inc. (NYSE: WTRG) today announced its Aqua Pennsylvania subsidiary signed a purchase agreement to acquire the wastewater system in Greenville, PA for $18 million. The wastewater sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024.

The wastewater collection network and treatment plant in Mercer County is currently operated by the Greenville Sanitation Authority and has over 2,300 customer connections, and serves over 1,700 additional customers in West Salem and Hempfield Townships.

¡°The reality is that our [wastewater] plant needed a $35 to $40 million rebuild, and that was beyond our means,¡± said Greenville Sanitary Authority Board Chair Jonathan Bailey. ¡°Also, our strong attention to day-to-day operations doesn't create enough improvement to satisfy the consent order we have with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. We needed an expert with the resources and expertise to fix the issues and prevent them from ever coming back. We considered a number of options — we are confident Aqua is this expert. We are now able to avoid a costly rebuild. This is an ideal solution to a very serious situation."

The transaction builds on Essential¡¯s regional expansion strategy, which delivers growth by investing in infrastructure that delivers clean, safe, reliable natural resources to residential and business customers, including water and wastewater services.

More than $20 million of planned investments in 10 years

Essential plans to invest $20 million in 10 years to bring the wastewater treatment plant into compliance with state and Federal regulations, avoiding the complete system rebuild originally estimated at $35 to 40 million. The company will also replace collection system pipes to improve reliability, increase plant capacity, and improve performance.

All existing employees at the Greenville facility will be offered jobs with the company when the acquisition closes, pending the company¡¯s standard hiring practices.

"We have a strong track record of using our operational expertise, scale and technical resources to support municipalities like Greenville," said Essential Chairman and CEO Chris Franklin. "We are deeply committed to our customers in Mercer County, and we are well-positioned to make necessary investments to ensure safe and reliable service for local residents."

The Greenville wastewater system is the first purchase agreement to be signed by Aqua Pennsylvania this year. Including Greenville wastewater, Essential¡¯s Aqua companies have signed eight purchase agreements for nine water and wastewater systems. Together these systems represent nearly 219,000 equivalent retail customers or equivalent dwelling units with more than $380 million in purchase price. In 2022, the company acquired three water and wastewater systems, which added approximately $120 million in rate base and more than 23,000 new customers or equivalent dwelling units to the company¡¯s footprint.
