Pennsylvania American Water to purchase Indian Creek Valley Water Authority

Pennsylvania American Water (AWK) announced that it has signed agreements to acquire the Indian Creek Valley Water Authority and the Sutersville-Sewickley Municipal Sewage Authority. The acquisitions reflect the company’s ongoing commitment to strengthening water and wastewater infrastructure across the Commonwealth. “The planned acquisitions of the Indian Creek Valley Water Authority and the Sutersville-Sewickley Municipal Sewage Authority are a natural fit for our company,” said Justin Ladner, president of Pennsylvania American Water. “With a strong presence in nearby communities, we’re in a great position to bring additional value through regionalization – combining resources and expertise to deliver more reliable, efficient and high-quality water and wastewater services to the residents of these systems.” The proposed $32.8M acquisition of the Fayette County-based Indian Creek Valley Water Authority includes approximately 2,700 metered customer connections and a water system supported by two springs, one well and a surface water treatment plant with a combined capacity of nearly 1M gallons per day.
