2.  Acquisitions

On August 29, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of the wastewater collection assets of the Jacobus Borough Sewer Authority in York County, Pennsylvania.  The Company began operating the existing collection facilities on August 30, 2019.  The acquisition resulted in the addition of approximately 700 wastewater customers with purchase price and acquisition cost of approximately $2,112, which is less than the depreciated original cost of the assets.  The Company recorded a negative acquisition adjustment of approximately $271 and will seek approval from the PPUC to amortize the acquisition adjustment over the remaining life of the acquired assets.  This acquisition is immaterial to Company results.
