Celebrating 210 Years!

Since 1816, the mission of The York Water Company has been clear: protect our community and deliver safe, reliable water. Founded to prevent fire and supply water to local industry in York (then Yorktowne), York Water now collects, treats, and distributes drinking water to customers across York, Adams, Franklin, and Lancaster Counties.

Thank you for being part of our story and for trusting “that good York water” for more than two centuries.

Lake Williams Dam Project

Lowering the Lake Williams Reservoir

The Lake Williams Reservoir pool level is being lowered in preparation for the dam construction work that is scheduled to start in April of 2022.

The Lake Williams Reservoir pool level is being lowered in preparation for the dam construction work that is scheduled to start in April of 2022. Currently, the reservoir level is 23.8 feet below full. The original borrow area used by workers during the dam’s construction in 1911 is now visible.

With the Lake Williams water level getting lower, there is a large amount of lake bed exposed. Please keep out of the lake bed. It is extremely dangerous to trespass on this newly exposed lake bed. Trespassers will be cited.
