ACQUISITIONS | Acquisitions Rainier View Water Company On March 27, 2020, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Washington Water, received regulatory approval from the WUTC for Washington Water's application for the sale and transfer of assets of Rainier View Water Company.

Assets acquired were $32.6 million, including utility plant of $31.1 million, and liabilities of $23.5 million were assumed, including $21.3 million of contributions in aid of construction.
