Water utility industry
Article Abstract:
Water utility securities have never attracted great investor interest despite the fact that many individual company securities have produced high yields, but the probability that a number of utilities may merge or consolidate should awake investor interest. Approximately 20 water utilities trade on US stock markets. Investors, with careful study, should be able to find a number of water utilities with securities that have high yields and have excellent long-term dividend growth possibilities.

Water utility industry
Article Abstract:
The larger water utilities that are publicly traded and that have easy access to the capital markets have the most favorable outlook for the future in 1999. The industry is also being helped in capital outlay stability by the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1996 and this and other regulations have led the industry to consolidate, as well. Some investors will find several safe stocks in this sector, although the industry as a whole is not timely in 1999.
