Everybody needs water, right? That is exactly why Aqua America (WTR) is a strong growth company in its industry. The company uses an aggressive growth strategy which, in turn, translates to a high-level of expertise. This 10-year dividend growth trail, while not the shiniest, still offers an interesting outlook. The utilities industry is a mitigate area. While some utilities can suffer downtrends on demand, water isn't working in the same way. Latest reported metrics are showing lots of potential, a result of a well-managed business. Keeping this constant demand in mind, I am quite interested to monitor WTR's next quarters.
