Water is the most precious natural resource on Earth. We are down to 1% useable water on Earth now and droughts are popping up everywhere water is becoming more expensive and in all reality our entire exsistance as humans. Did I mention that no matter what alternative energy we go to water is going to be in high demand? Think about how expensive electrolisys is for hydrogen, or watering crops for ethanol. So a company that benefits holding a material where we are down to 1% of and no one has really flinched (opposed to being down to about 15% of oil) can't be a bad idea. Oh ya their managment led them to beating the S&P by about 50% over the worst year of memory.

This company is very stable and has sound financials. With a 16.85% 2008Q3 profit margin and recent water rate increases, I feel this stock will continue to deliver a decent return. This stock also yields a decent 2.9% dividend, payable quarterly. While the S&P continues to slide over the next quarter, I believe this stock will continue to outperform.
