                              SCHEDULE 13D

      This  Amendment  No. 6, dated June 11, 1999,  amends and  supplements  the

by Amendments numbers 1 through 5 thereto,  filed by Lyonnaise American Holding,
Inc., a Delaware  corporation  ("LAH"),  and Suez  Lyonnaise  des Eaux, a French
societe anonyme  ("Lyonnaise"),  with respect to the common stock, no par value,
of United Water Resources Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the "Issuer").  Unless
otherwise  defined,  all  capitalized  terms used herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

      Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds.

      LAH  purchased  additional  shares of  Common  Stock by  reinvesting  cash
dividends  paid by the  Issuer on the  Common  Stock  pursuant  to the  Issuer's

         Date    Amount Reinvested Common Stock Acquired  Per Share
         ----    ----------------- ---------------------  ---------

September 1, 1998 $2,500,932.06     140,649.5622         $17.7813
December 1, 1998  $2,643,424.13     134,056.0343         $19.7188

      On April 22, 1999, LAH converted  334,390 shares of Preference  Stock into
278,657  shares of Common  Stock at the  conversion  ratio of 0.83333  shares of

replaced with the following:

the  issuance  to LAH on April 22, 1999 of 278,657  shares of Common  Stock upon
conversion of 334,390 shares of Preference  Stock.  Consequently,  LAH currently
owns  30.2%  of the  outstanding  Common  Stock.  Lyonnaise,  through  its  100%
ownership  of LAH,  may  also  be  deemed  to be the  beneficial  owner  of such
11,687,024.22 shares of Common Stock.

Lyonnaise,  owns  4,518.77  shares of Common  Stock,  of which 125.55  shares of

of  Lyonnaise,  owns 5,393.22  shares of Common Stock,  of which 1,000 shares of
Common Stock are owned  directly  and 4,393.22  shares of Common Stock are owned
through the Issuer's 1997 Directors  Restricted Stock Plan. Mr. Joseph V. Boyle,
Vice  President-Finance  of LAH, owns 1,501.23  shares of Common Stock, of which
289.34  shares of Common Stock are owned  directly and 1211.89  shares of Common
Stock are owned  through the Issuer's  401(k)  plan,  and holds  directly  stock
options to purchase an  aggregate of 5,150 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price per share that is below the current  market price for the Common Stock and
stock options to purchase  4,780 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per
share that is above the current market price for Common Stock.  Mr.  Jean-Michel
Brault, Vice President of Lyonnaise, holds directly stock options to purchase an
aggregate of 7,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share that is
below the  current  market  price for the  Common  Stock  and stock  options  to
purchase  5,000  shares of Common  Stock at an exercise  price per share that is
above the  current  market  price for the Common  Stock.  Mr.  Charles  Chaumin,

shares of  Common  Stock,  of which  125.55  shares  of  Common  Stock are owned
