The proxy details a nine‑member staggered board with a majority of independent directors, committee structures, stock ownership guidelines, and restrictions on insider trading and hedging. It outlines executive pay using salary, annual cash incentives and restricted stock tied to multi‑year shareholder return, return on equity, regulatory complaint rates and relative customer rates.
In 2025, CEO Joseph T. Hand received total compensation of $572,275, while average compensation for the other named executives was $348,915.

The filing also describes defined benefit pensions for some executives, a supplemental retirement plan, deferred compensation and director retainers plus equity grants.

The York Water Company reported modestly higher 2025 revenue but slightly lower profit. Operating revenue rose 3.4% to $77,488, driven by customer growth and a higher distribution system improvement charge. Operating income was $27,705, down slightly from 2024.
Net income edged down 1.3% to $20,058, with diluted EPS of $1.39. Higher depreciation, wages, maintenance, and interest expense, along with lower allowance for funds used during construction, more than offset revenue gains. Return on year-end common equity was 8.3%, below the 10.3% five-year average. The company invested $48,725 in infrastructure and ended 2025 with common equity at 51.7% of total capitalization and long-term debt of $221,900.

Revenue growth came mainly from customer growth and the Distribution System Improvement Charge, but higher operating costs, depreciation, interest expense, and lower AFUDC more than offset these benefits. In 2025 the company invested $48.7 million in capital projects and plans approximately $48 million of additional investments in each of 2026 and 2027.

A typical residential customer will pay an additional $8.51 per month for water and $25.45 per month for wastewater, while the average cost of 1,000 gallons of water remains slightly more than one cent.
