YORK WATER CO 8-K

What Happened The York Water Company (YORW) filed a Form 8-K (Item 5.02) reporting that long-time director George W. Hodges retired from the company’s Board of Directors pursuant to the company’s retirement policy on February 9, 2026. Mr. Hodges had served on the board since June 2000, including terms as Chair of the Board from 2011–2021 and 2023–2025. At the date of his retirement he was a member of the Executive Committee. The company will designate him as a Director Emeritus.

Key Details

• Retirement date: February 9, 2026 (reported in 8-K filed Feb 10, 2026).
• Board tenure: Director since June 2000 — over 25 years of service.
• Board roles: Chair of the Board 2011–2021 and 2023–2025; member of the Executive Committee at retirement.
• Post-retirement status: To be designated Director Emeritus (advisory title).

Why It Matters A long-serving director and former board chair stepping down is a notable governance change. Investors should see this as a board composition update: the company retains Mr. Hodges in an emeritus/advisory capacity but has removed him from active board voting membership. The 8-K does not identify a replacement director or additional board changes, so investors monitoring governance and board experience may watch for any subsequent director appointments or committee reassignments.
