Top Yielding Water Utilities

I keep reading more and more about how water will become scarcer and more valuable that oil. If that is true, then the companies that own water rights should do extremely well. In the meantime, you can earn dividends from your investments in water utility stocks.

Water utilities decent yields between 1.5% and 6.5%. Maybe they aren't as high as electric utilities or gas utilities, but there are over a dozen water utility stocks with dividends that were turned up by WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. Here are a couple examples.
