The sale will now move to the state s Public Utility Commission (PUC) for final approval. A decision from the PUC is expected later this year or early 2022.
With the sale, PA-American will not increase rates for York residents for the first three years and will retain all of the current staff. In addition, a $20 million deposit will be given to the city to help balance the 2021 budget. PA-American Water has also announced it will contribute at least $50,000 to nonprofit organizations throughout the city. With this agreement, York’s future is bright – free from the debt and financial pain that have held us back for so long,” Mayor Michael Helfrich said in a statement. “This is a new day for York, one filled with an unwavering optimism as our residents and businesses can finally breathe a sigh of relief for the first time in decades.”

Weirton Area Water Board and the City of Weirton, West Virginia, (together Weirton) sued Corteva, Inc., Dupont de Nemours, Inc., AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc., Archroma U.S., Inc. Dynax Corporation, Solvay Specialty Polymers, USA, LLC, and Solvay USA, Inc. last Friday. The civil suit for damages alleges that the defendants’ design, manufacture, and sale of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) products has caused widespread drinking water contamination costing the plaintiffs to incur testing, treatment, and infrastructural costs, in addition to loss of consumer confidence.
A similar suit was filed by the Pennsylvania-American Water Company last month, and in January, DuPont de Nemours, Corteva, and The Chemours Company announced a $4 billion PFAS settlement and the resolution of separate Ohio multidistrict litigation for $83 million.
