QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/1.5 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">ISELIN, NJ, (May 2, 2014) Middlesex Water Company
(the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), (NASDAQ:MSEX), a provider of water and wastewater and related services primarily in New Jersey and
Delaware, today announced operating revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/1.5 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><B><U>First Quarter Operating Results</U></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/1.5 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Consolidated operating revenues increased $0.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $27.2 million. Net income was $3.1 million, consistent with the same period
in 2013. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.20 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, consistent with the same period
in 2013.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/1.5 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Operating revenues in the Company&rsquo;s Middlesex
system in New Jersey decreased $0.5 million, primarily due to the cessation of oil refining operations in the Middlesex service
area by Hess Corporation, a large customer, in February 2013. Revenues in our Delaware system, Tidewater Utilities, Inc., increased
$0.4 million primarily due to higher customer demand, increased connection fees and increased interim base rates that went into
effect in February 2014. Revenues from Tidewater Environmental Services, Inc., our Delaware wastewater utility, increased $0.2
million, primarily due to the acquisition of new wastewater assets, which we began serving in October 2013. Revenues from contract
operations decreased $0.3 million, primarily due to lower revenues for additional services above the base contract at our operations
in the Borough of Avalon, New Jersey.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/1.5 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Operation and maintenance expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2014 were consistent with the same period in 2013. Employee benefits expenses decreased $0.8 million due
primarily to lower postretirement employee benefit plan costs resulting from improved performance in 2013 on our investment of
retirement plan funds and a higher discount rate used for the actuarially determined 2014 expense. Severe winter weather resulted
in higher labor overtime costs of $0.3 million and higher water main break costs of $0.3 million in our Middlesex system.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/1.5 Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&ldquo;We benefitted in the first quarter from
our continued diligence on controlling operating costs and other initiatives, despite the fact we are on the downside of the ratemaking
cycle for our two largest water utilities, and are currently in rate proceedings in both New Jersey and Delaware,&rdquo; said Middlesex
President and Chief Executive Officer Dennis W. Doll. &ldquo;In addition to our continued commitment to our traditional water and
wastewater utilities, we are focused on expanding our suite of complementary capabilities beyond our core regulated utility operations
to include military base water and wastewater privatizations, industrial treatment applications, non-regulated contract operations
and renewable energy projects at municipal wastewater treatment plants,&rdquo; added Doll.</P>
