Essential Utilities, Inc.
A holding company that delivers drinking water, wastewater treatment, and natural gas to millions of homes and businesses across the US under two brands: Aqua for water and Peoples for gas. Its roots reach back to an 1886 Pennsylvania water company, and it took its current name in 2020 after buying Pittsburgh's Peoples Natural Gas — founded in 1885 by Joseph Pew, the same man who later built Sunoco.
