BRYN MAWR, Pa., September 30, 2026--Essential Utilities, Inc. (NYSE: WTRG) announced today its Aqua Pennsylvania subsidiary has finalized its $450,000 purchase of the water system assets of the Ulster Municipal Authority in Bradford County. The system serves approximately 180 customers in Ulster Township. The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) approved the sale on August 27, 2026.
A $63 billion water utility merger puts two dividend stocks on a collision course, and the one that looks weaker on paper may actually be the smarter retirement hold heading into the deal's close.
