The impact of rate increases on revenues was approximately $32.0 million and $52.2 million for the three and six months ending June 30, 2012, respectively. The increase in revenues associated with higher demand amounted to approximately $27 million and $21 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, which is attributable to increased customer consumption in 2012 compared to 2011, which we believe is primarily attributable to the warmer/drier weather in the second quarter of 2012. Lastly, revenues were higher by $7.9 million and $8.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to the same period in 2011 as a result of acquisitions, with the most significant being our New York acquisition in the second quarter of 2012.

Water Services Water service operating revenues from residential customers for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased by $48.1 million, or 14.3%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 these revenues increased by $56.6 million, or 8.9%, over the same period in 2011. The increases are primarily due to rate increases as well as increased sales volumes. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the volume of water sold to residential customers increased by 6.7% compared to the same period in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the volume sold to these customers increased by 2.7% as compared to the same period in 2011. We believe this higher consumption for both the three and six month periods is driven by the warmer/drier weather in June 2012 in our eastern and midwestern operating states as compared to June 2011. Also contributing to the increased sales volumes was the additional consumption resulting from our New York acquisition.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, these revenues increased by $18.5 million, or 8.5%, to $237.6 million, compared to June 30, 2011.
