Schedule of carrying amount and estimated fair value of bonds | The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of First Mortgage and State Revolving Fund Bonds (collectively, the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based on quoted market prices for similar issues. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified as a Level 1 measurement and the fair value of notes payable and the Bonds in the table below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The carrying amount and fair value of the Bonds were as follows:
|  | (Thousands of Dollars) At December 31,
|  | 2019 |  | 2018
|  | Carrying |  | Fair |  | Carrying |  | Fair
|  | Amount |  | Value |  | Amount |  | Value
Bonds |  | $ | 151,361 |  |  | $ | 160,772 |  |  | $ | 101,411 |  |  | $ | 102,789 |
