Aqua America said that its Texas subsidiary has acquired the water and wastewater system assets of Gray Utility for $3.3m.

The Gray systems are tuck-in acquisitions that serve approximately 6,300 people in Chambers, Jefferson and Liberty counties along the Gulf Coast near Baytown, which is about 40 miles from downtown Houston.

Aqua Texas will manage operations for the new systems from its Spring office near Houston.

Earlier this month, Aqua acquired the assets of the Bluewater Key Water Company and Carrizo Water Company in Henderson County, Texas, for $874,000 and the wastewater system assets of Emerald Plantation Utilities in Emerald Isle, Carteret County, North Carolina for $900,000.
