Item. 8.01.  Other Events

PARAGRAPH  CORRECTION  in press  release  announcement  filed  April  28,  2006,
regarding  Tidewater  Utilities,  Inc., a subsidiary of Middlesex Water Company,
filing petition for an increase in rates.

Incorrect Paragraph
- -------------------
Presently,  the average  household served by Tidewater is charged  approximately
$40.58 per month for 5,000 gallons of water.  The new rate  structure,  based on
5,000  gallons of water,  and  reflecting  the full  request,  would result in a
monthly bill of $56.24. Water charges for residential customers would consist of
a $54.08 quarterly facilities charge and a consumption charge of $5.72 per 1,000
gallons.

Corrected Paragraph
- -------------------
Presently,  the average  household served by Tidewater is charged  approximately
$33.61 per month for 5,000 gallons of water.  The new rate  structure,  based on
5,000  gallons of water,  and  reflecting  the full  request,  would result in a
monthly bill of approximately  $46.58.  Water charges for residential  customers
would consist of a $54.08 quarterly  facilities charge and a consumption  charge
of $5.72 per 1,000 gallons.
