                                     SUMMARY

     On March 10, 1999, Philadelphia Suburban Corporation ("PSC"
or the "Company") and Consumers Water Company ("CWC") completed a
merger (the "Merger") whereby CWC was merged with and into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was effected
pursuant to the June 27, 1998 merger agreement, which was amended and
restated by the parties effective August 5, 1998. The Merger was
completed after the transaction received the approvals from the state
utility commissions in each state in which the companies operate. The
shareholders of each company approved the Merger at special meetings
held on November 16, 1998. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the
Company issued 13,014,015 shares of common stock in exchange for all
of the outstanding stock of CWC. CWC common shareholders received
1.432 shares of the Company's Common Stock for each CWC common share
and CWC preferred shareholders received 5.649 shares of the Company's
Common Stock for each preferred share. The Merger has been accounted
for as a pooling-of-interests under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 16. CWC serves approximately 226,000 customers in service
territories covering parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey
and Maine.

              UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

     The following historical financial information of PSC and CWC for fiscal
years 1998, 1997 and 1996 presented herein has been derived from the audited
