Item 1. Business
The "Description of the Business" is set forth on page 23 of the Annual Report to Stockholders for 1994, filed as Exhibit 13 to this Report on Form 10-K; and such description is hereby specifically incorporated herein by reference thereto. The information provided in that section is supplemented by the following details:
The water supplies of the operating subsidiaries consist of surface supplies, wells, and in a limited number of cases, water purchased under contract. Such supplies are considered adequate to meet present require- ments. In general, all surface supplies are filtered and substantially all of the water is treated with chlorine, and, in some cases, special treatment is provided to correct specific conditions of the water.
In general, the operating utility subsidiaries have valid franchises, free from unduly burdensome restrictions, sufficient to enable them to carry on their business as presently conducted. They derive such franchise rights from statutes under which they were incorporated, municipal consents and ordinances, or certificates or permits received from state or local regulatory agencies. In most instances, such franchise rights are non- exclusive.
In most of the states in which the operations of the operating subsidiaries are carried on, there exists the right of municipal acquisition by one or both of the following methods: (1) condemnation; or (2) the right of purchase given or reserved by the law of the state in which the company was incorporated or received its franchise. The price to be paid upon condemnation is usually determined in accordance with the law of the state governing the taking of land or other property under eminent domain statutes; in other instances, the price is fixed by appraisers selected by the parties, or in accordance with a formula prescribed by the law of the state or in the particular franchise or special charter.
Some of the expenditures for construction by operating subsidiaries have included facilities to comply with federal and state water quality and safety standards. The nature of some of the construction is described in the section entitled "System Growth and Development," located on pages 24 through 27 of the Annual Report to Stockholders for 1994, filed as Exhibit 13 to this Report on Form 10-K; such information is hereby specifically incorporated herein by reference thereto.
The number of persons employed by the Registrant and subsidiary companies totaled 3,992 at December 31, 1994.
