         Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                           Condition and Results of Operations      

Results of operations
- - ---------------------

     Operating revenues for the first quarter of 1994 increased by 14% over
those for the first quarter of 1993.  The increase in revenues is due to the
August 31, 1993 acquisition of four midwestern water utilities, the result of
rate increases authorized for certain subsidiaries and higher sales volume. 
The acquisition of the four companies last year was responsible for
approximately one-third of the increase in revenues.

     During the first four months of 1994, five operating subsidiaries
received rate orders which are expected to provide approximately $5.6 million
in additional annual revenues.  Six subsidiaries have rate increase
applications on file before regulatory agencies which, if granted in full,
would provide approximately $37.8 million in additional annual revenues.

     The 53.3 billion gallons of water sold in the first quarter of 1994 was
13% higher than the 47 billion gallons sold in the first quarter of 1993. 
The four acquired companies sold 3.8 billion gallons of water in the first
quarter of 1994.

     Operating expenses for the first quarter of 1994 increased by 17% over
the same period last year.  In addition to reflecting operating expenses
incurred by the acquired subsidiaries, harsh winter weather throughout most
of the eastern half of the country in 1994 increased the cost of providing
daily water service.  Depreciation expense was higher due to growth in
utility plant in service.  The growth in tax expense reflects higher general
taxes due to increased property values and gross receipts.

     Income deductions, primarily interest, were 7% higher for the first
quarter of 1994 compared with the first quarter of 1993 due to an increase in
total debt.

     Net income to common stock was $9.4 million for the first quarter of
1994 compared with $9.2 million for the same period in 1993.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
- - -------------------------------

     During the balance of 1994, the Company plans to issue common stock
through its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, the Employees'
Stock Ownership Plan and the Savings Plan for Employees.  Proceeds from the
issuance of common stock will provide for added investments in subsidiaries.

     Four operating subsidiaries issued $70.6 million of long-term debt
during the first three months of 1994.  In addition, the Company invested
$10.7 million in the common stock of one subsidiary.  The proceeds from these
financing arrangements have been used to fund construction programs and repay
bank borrowings.  It is anticipated that some subsidiaries will sell long-
term debt to institutional investors and common stock to the Company during
the remainder of 1994, with the proceeds used to repay bank loans and to fund
construction projects.
