ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS


      York, Pennsylvania, May 13, 2003:  The York Water Company's
(NASDAQ:YORW) President, Jeffrey S. Osman, announced today the
Company's financial results for the first quarter of 2003.

      President Osman reported that the operating revenues of
$4,757,940 increased 1.7% over the first quarter of 2002, and that
net income of $757,570 decreased 13.5% compared to the first
quarter of 2002.  The decrease in net income is attributed to
increased pension, insurance, and depreciation expenses.

million on construction projects, primarily on its distribution
system to expand its service territory.
