Water will be the next oil and WTR is well positioned and continue to expand. I just wish they would expand a little bit more in water filtration/purification and treatment.

Fantastic profit and operating margins; a bit pricey (fwd. P/E of 18), although trading at close to 5 year low; water is the new oil - and companies that supply/distribute/treat it will prosper going forward

Although a small company, it pays a nice dividend. This shows that WTR is committed to shareholders. Cash flow statements and expected earnings growth do more than enough to substantiate the current share price.

Possibly an indirect stimulus benefactor thanks to the money that POTWs are getting.

Playing the water sector with 15 picks. It's a "real" problem with needed solutions on a constant basis. I think there's plenty of room for growth and value in this sector. I've seen a 14% gain in the last 3 months on 8 water picks, so I thought I'd add 6 more to track.

This company is simply 5 Star in almost every aspect. One of the best Utility plays, in my opinion, now and "forever".

WTR is positioned nicely to capitalize on the growing need for clean water & improved wastewater treatment systems in the U.S.. They are large (just recently picked up an area of Long Island), they improve infrastructure, and they run their business very well (18 dividend increases in the last 17 yrs). They have had a cold spell for over 2 yrs, but their business has continued to grow much better than many of their competitors. WTR is a best-of-breed company - buy Aqua America!

I think I may have bought into this stock too soon, they seem to be buying more little companies than they can manage. I wonder if the downturn in the economy will hurt collections of water bills?
