                      Notes to Interim Financial Statements




1.  Interim Financial Information

    The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
    management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary
    for a fair presentation of results for such periods.  These financial
    statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
    notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for
    the year ended December 31, 2002.

    Operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended
    September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
    be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.


2.  Basic Earnings Per Share

    Basic earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and
    2002 were based on weighted average shares outstanding of 6,379,879 and
    6,323,782, respectively.

    Since there are no common stock equivalents, there is no required
    calculation for diluted earnings per share.

3.  As a result of the Company's recently approved rate case on June 26, 2003,
    and in accordance with SFAS No. 71, $260,910 in pension expenses have been
    classified as regulatory assets. SFAS No. 71 stipulates generally accepted
    accounting principles for companies whose rates are established by or are
    subject to approval by an independent third-party regulator.  In accordance
    with SFAS No. 71, costs are deferred on the balance sheet as regulatory
    assets and liabilities when it is probable that these costs and credits
    will be recognized in the rate-making process in a period different from
    when the costs and credits were incurred.  These deferred amounts are then
    recognized in the income statement in the same period that they are
    reflected in rates charged for water service.

The statements are based on a number of assumptions concerning future events,
many of which are outside the Company's control.  The Company cautions that
a number of important factors could cause the actual results to differ

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared
with Three Months Ended September 30, 2002

Net income for the third quarter of 2003 was $1,494,211, an increase of
$378,668, or 33.9%, compared to the same period of 2002.

Water operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 increased
$509,931, or 9.7%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002.  The
increase resulted primarily from the 8.5% rate increase approved by the
Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PPUC), effective June 26, 2003, and an
increase in total customers since September 30, 2002.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2003 increased $38,283, or 1.3%,
compared to the third quarter of 2002.  The primary reasons for the increase
were higher depreciation expense, higher health and general insurance premiums
and higher contractual fees amounting to $85,000.  Emergency source of supply
expenses and chemical expenses related to the drought incurred in the 2002
period in the amount of $47,000 partially offset the increase.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations (Continued)

Allowance for funds used during construction for the third quarter 2003
increased $51,537, or 126.5%, when compared to third quarter 2002.
Capitalized interest on the costs associated with the Susquehanna River project
accounts for the increase.

Federal and state income taxes increased $144,981, or 22.2%, due to an increase
in taxable income.  The effective tax rate was 34.8% for the third quarter of
2003 compared with 36.9% for the third quarter of 2002.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared
with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002

Net income for the first three quarters of 2003 was $3,301,402, an increase of
$389,478, or 13.4%, compared to the first three quarters of 2002.

Water operating revenues for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2003
increased $759,606, or 5.1%, compared to the same period in 2002.  The increase
resulted primarily from an increase of 863 customers since September 30, 2002,
the distribution surcharge which was collected from all customers during the
first half of 2003 for infrastructure improvements, and the rate increase
effective June 26, 2003.

Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2003 increased $264,212, or
3.1%, compared to the first nine months of 2002.  Higher depreciation,
insurance, rate case expense, contractual fees, and directors' fees in the
amount of $261,000 were the primary reasons for the increase.  Reduced pumping
station maintenance, main maintenance, and realty taxes amounting to $186,000
partially offset the increase.

Allowance for funds used during construction for 2003 increased $109,726, or
114.6%, when compared to 2002.  Capitalized interest on the costs associated
with the Susquehanna River project accounts for the increase.

Other income, net decreased by $137,024 in 2003 compared to 2002 due to a
$158,000 increase in supplemental retirement expenses caused by a decrease in
the discount rate provided by our pension actuary and used in the present value
calculations.  An increase in interest income on water district notes
receivable of $30,000 partially offset the decrease.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Rate Developments

During the last several years, the Company has filed written applications for
rate increases with the PPUC and has been granted rate relief as a result of
such requests.  The most recent request was filed on January 24, 2003 seeking a
$2,808,000 or 13.7% rate increase.  Effective June 26, 2003, the PPUC
authorized an increase in rates designed to produce approximately $1,725,000 in
additional annual operating revenues, an increase of 8.5%.  The Company plans
to file its next rate increase request in the second quarter of 2004.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first three quarters of 2003, the Company had $5,916,499 of
construction expenditures.  The Company financed such expenditures through
internally generated funds, customers' advances, short-term borrowings, and
proceeds from the issuance of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan
(stock issued in lieu of cash dividends) and employee stock purchase plan.  The
Company anticipates construction expenditures of approximately $4,000,000 for
the last quarter of 2003, and will finance these expenditures in the same
manner as the first three quarters of 2003.

During the first nine months of 2003, net cash used in investing and financing
activities equaled net cash provided by operating activities.  The Company
anticipates that during the remainder of 2003 net cash used in investing and
financing activities will again equal cash provided by operating activities.
Borrowings against the Company's lines of credit, proceeds from the issuance of
common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan (stock issued in lieu of cash
dividends) and employee stock purchase plan, and customers' advances are
expected to be used to satisfy the need for additional cash.

As of September 30, 2003, current liabilities exceeded current assets by
$3,394,000.  Short-term borrowings from lines of credit as of September 30,
2003 were $4,392,000.  The Company maintains lines of credit aggregating
$26,500,000. Loans granted under these lines of credit bear interest at the
prime rate or LIBOR plus 1 to 1.25%.  All lines of credit are unsecured and
payable upon demand.  The Company is not required to maintain compensating
balances on its lines of credit.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Susquehanna River Project Update

The Company received a favorable final ruling from the PPUC regarding its
petition to reclassify Lake Redman from a cold water fishery to a warm water
fishery.  The Company is now waiting for the Environmental Protection Agency to
approve the reclassification.  Following this approval, a discharge permit will
be issued and the construction permit will be amended to include a discharge
into Lake Redman.


The Groundbreaking Ceremony for the project was held on August 21, 2003.
Construction on both the pumping station and the pipeline began in mid-
September. The project is expected to be completed in one year at an estimated
cost of $22 million.  Susquehanna River pipeline construction expenditures and
other capital expenditures are expected to be funded through a $7.3 million
tax-exempt bond issue in the first quarter of 2004, a $7.5 million secondary
common stock offering in the second quarter of 2004 and a $12 million tax-
exempt bond issue in the fourth quarter of 2004.  The Company has filed a
financing application with the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing
Authority requesting approval to issue tax-exempt bonds to fund the project.


Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Company does not use off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or
obligations that may have a material current or future effect on financial
condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital
resources or significant components of revenues or expenses.  The Company does
not use securitization of receivables or unconsolidated entities.  The Company
does not engage in trading or risk management activities, has no lease
obligations, and does not have material transactions involving related parties


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative
trading purposes.  The Company's operations are exposed to market risks
primarily as a result of changes in interest rates.  This exposure to these
market risks relates
to the Company's debt obligations under its lines of credit.  Loans granted
under these lines bear interest based upon the prime rate or LIBOR plus 1 to
1.25 percent.  The Company has not entered into financial instruments such as
interest rate swaps or interest rate lock agreements.

The Company's 4.40% Industrial Development Authority Revenue Refunding Bonds
Series 1994 have a mandatory tender date of May 15, 2004.  The 6% Series 1995
bonds have a mandatory tender date of June 1, 2005.  The Company is required
to purchase any unremarketed 1994 and 1995 bonds, despite the rate.



                            THE YORK WATER COMPANY


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's President
and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this quarterly report.  Based upon this evaluation, the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures have
been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance
that the information
required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.  The Company believes
that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot
provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met,
and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred
during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control
over financial reporting.
