September 2021, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued a Notice of Non-Compliance (Notice) to Middlesex
based on self-reporting by Middlesex that the level of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in water treated at its Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment
Plant in South Plainfield, New Jersey exceeded a standard promulgated in a NJDEP regulation that became effective in 2021. The NJDEP standard
for PFOA was developed based on a Health-based Maximum Contaminant Level of 14 parts per trillion. Neither the NJDEP nor Middlesex had
characterized this exceedance as an acute health threat. However, Middlesex was required by the regulation to notify its affected customers
and complied in November 2021.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></p></ix:nonNumeric></ix:continuation><div>

action necessary to comply with the new standard by September 7, 2022. Prior to 2023, the Company began design for construction of an
enhanced treatment process at the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant to comply with the new standard prior to the regulation being
enacted. At that time, the completion of enhanced treatment process was not expected until mid-2023. Consequently, in November 2021, the
Company implemented an interim solution to meet the Notice requirements, which included putting the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant
in off-line status and obtaining alternate sources of supply. Subsequently, in June 2022, the Company accelerated the in-service date
for a portion of the enhanced treatment project that allowed a restart of the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant and it is effectively
treating the ground water to ensure compliance with all state and federal drinking water standards.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><i>&#160;</i></p></ix:continuation></ix:continuation><div>

Inc. (Twin Lakes)</b></span><b> &#8211;</b> <span style="font-size: 10pt">Twin Lakes provides water services to approximately 115 residential
customers in Shohola, Pennsylvania. Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code, Twin Lakes filed a petition requesting the Pennsylvania
Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC) to order the acquisition of Twin Lakes by a capable public utility. The PAPUC assigned an Administrative
Law Judge (ALJ) to adjudicate the matter and submit a recommended decision (Recommended Decision) to the PAPUC. As part of this legal
proceeding the PAPUC also issued an Order in January 2021 appointing a large Pennsylvania based investor-owned water utility as the receiver
(the Receiver Utility) of the Twin Lakes system until the petition is fully adjudicated by the PAPUC. In November 2021, the PAPUC issued
an Order affirming the ALJ&#8217;s Recommended Decision, ordering the Receiver Utility to acquire the Twin Lakes water system and for
Middlesex, the parent company of Twin Lakes, to submit $<ix:nonFraction contextRef="c52" decimals="-5" format="ixt:num-dot-decimal" name="us-gaap:EscrowDeposit" scale="6" unitRef="usd">1.7</ix:nonFraction> million into an escrow account within 30 days. Twin Lakes immediately filed
a Petition For Review (PFR) with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (the Commonwealth Court) seeking reversal and vacation of the
escrow requirement on the grounds that it violates the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code as well as the United States Constitution. In
addition, Twin Lakes filed an emergency petition for stay of the PAPUC Order pending the Commonwealth Court&#8217;s review of the merits
arguments contained in Twin Lakes&#8217; PFR. In December 2021, the Commonwealth Court granted Twin Lakes&#8217; emergency petition, pending
its review. In August 2022, the Commonwealth Court issued an opinion upholding PAPUC&#8217;s November 2021 Order in its entirety. In September
2022, Twin Lakes filed a Petition For Allowance of Appeal (Appeal Petition) to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania seeking reversal of the
Commonwealth Court&#8217;s decision to uphold the escrow requirement on the grounds that the Commonwealth Court erred in failing to address
Twin Lakes&#8217; claims that because the $<ix:nonFraction contextRef="c53" decimals="-5" format="ixt:num-dot-decimal" name="us-gaap:EscrowDeposit" scale="6" unitRef="usd">1.7</ix:nonFraction> million escrow requirement placed on Middlesex violated Middlesex&#8217;s constitutional
rights, Middlesex&#8217;s refusal to submit this escrow payment so as not to surrender its constitutional rights would jeopardize the
relief Twin Lakes was otherwise entitled to in the appointment of the Receiver Utility. In March 2023, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
issued a decision denying Twin Lakes&#8217; Appeal Petition without addressing this claim on the merits. As a result of the Pennsylvania
Courts&#8217; failure to address Twin Lakes&#8217; claim, Middlesex has subsequently filed a Complaint with the United States District
Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to address the issue of whether the PAPUC&#8217;s Order violated Middlesex&#8217;s rights

One is the regulated business of collecting, treating and distributing water on a retail and wholesale basis to residential, commercial,
industrial and fire protection customers in parts of New Jersey and Delaware. This segment also includes regulated wastewater systems
in New Jersey and Delaware.&#160;The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters by New Jersey and
Delaware with respect to utility services within these states. The other segment is primarily comprised of non-regulated contract services
for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware.&#160;Inter-segment
transactions relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance charges on inter-segment loan activities are
based on interest rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third party lender.</p><div>

with customers results from tariff-based sales from the provision of water and wastewater services to residential, industrial, commercial,
fire-protection and wholesale customers. Residential customers are billed quarterly while most industrial, commercial, fire-protection
and wholesale customers are billed monthly. Payments by customers are due between 15 and 30 days after the invoice date. Revenue is recognized
as the water and wastewater services are delivered to customers as well as from accrual of unbilled revenues estimated from the last meter
reading date to the end of the accounting period utilizing factors such as historical customer data, regional weather indicators and general
economic conditions in the relevant service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings
in advance to Tidewater customers recognized as service is provided to the customer.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 146.25pt"></p></ix:continuation><div>

Company (3M) as a third-party defendant in one of these class action lawsuits.&#160;The Company&#160;has also initiated a separate lawsuit
against 3M seeking to hold 3M accountable for introduction of PFAS, which include PFOA,&#160;into the Company&#8217;s water supply at
its&#160;Park Avenue&#160;Wellfield facility.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><span>Our ability
to increase operating income and net income is based significantly on four factors: weather, adequate and timely rate relief, effective
cost management and customer growth. These factors are discussed in the Results of Operations section below. Unfavorable weather patterns
may occur at any time, which can result in lower customer demand for water. </span></p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Our investments in system infrastructure
continue to grow significantly and our operating costs are anticipated to increase in 2023 in a variety of categories. Additionally,
the DEPSC issued an Order requiring Tidewater to reduce its base rates charged to general metered and private fire customers by 6%,
effective for service rendered on and after September 1, 2022. These factors, among others, will likely require Middlesex and
Tidewater to  file for base rate increases in May 2023 and the second half of 2023, respectively.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Overall, organic residential customer growth continues
in our Tidewater system but is impacted by the current and evolving macroeconomic market conditions relative to residential housing. Builders
and developers in our Delaware service territory are experiencing longer home sales closing cycles due to supply chain constraints, which
may be further affected by inflationary trends and the federal government&#8217;s ongoing efforts to mitigate inflation through increases
in interest rates.</p><div>

in interest rates and commodity prices. The Company is subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal course of business.
Our policy is to manage interest rates through the use of fixed rate long-term debt and, to a lesser extent, short-term debt. The Company&#8217;s
interest rate risk related to existing fixed rate, long-term debt is not material due to the term of the majority of our First Mortgage
Bonds, which have final maturity dates ranging from 2023 to 2059. Over the next twelve months, approximately $17.4 million of the current
portion of existing long-term debt instruments will mature. Applying a hypothetical change in the rate of interest charged by 10% on those
borrowings, would not have a material effect on our earnings.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Our risks associated with price increases for chemicals,

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">We are exposed to credit risk for both our Regulated
and Non-Regulated business segments. Our Regulated operations serve residential, commercial, industrial and municipal customers while
our Non-Regulated operations engage in business activities with developers, government entities and other customers. Our primary credit
risk is exposure to customer default on contractual obligations and the associated loss that may be incurred due to the non-payment of
customer accounts receivable balances. Our credit risk is managed through established credit and collection policies which are in compliance
with applicable regulatory requirements and involve monitoring of customer exposure and the use of credit risk mitigation measures such
as letters of credit or prepayment arrangements. Our credit portfolio is diversified with no significant customer or industry concentrations.
In addition, our Regulated businesses are generally able to recover all prudently incurred costs including uncollectible customer accounts
receivable expenses and collection costs through customers&#8217; rates.</p><div>

located at 485C Route One South, Suite 400, Iselin, New Jersey 08830, (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), and Robert J. Capko, residing at 100

of a Change in Control may exist. This possibility, and the uncertainty and questions that it may raise among management, may result in
the departure or distraction of management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders.</P>

in Control of the Company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Delaware Department of Transportation
(&ldquo;DelDOT&rdquo;) is currently in the process of upgrading portions of State Route 24 (&ldquo;SR 24&rdquo;) southwest of Rt. 1. This
project will improve the section of SR 24 from Love Creek to a point just beyond Mulberry Knoll Rd. The Borrower has significant existing
and proposed infrastructure throughout the proposed project. As a part of this project, existing mains within the project will be upgraded
with new larger mains as appropriate. In addition, new mains will be installed in areas along the project route where new infrastructure
has been planned, including a new connection along Mulberry Knoll Road, which will interconnect the South Rehoboth elevated storage tank
currently under construction. In all, the project will include +/-8,040 LF of relocated, upgraded and new 12&rdquo;, 20&rdquo;, and 24&rdquo;
main.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">In accordance with DelDOT&rsquo;s
current business model and the Borrower&rsquo;s procedures, the construction of the Borrower&rsquo;s water main within the project are
included as part of the DelDOT road improvement project. The Borrower engages an engineering firm to design the proposed water main work,
who also provides utility coordination support to DelDOT during their design. When complete, the Borrower&rsquo;s construction plans will
be incorporated into the DelDOT project contract documents. The project is then publicly bid, and the selected contractor is approved
by the Borrower and DelDOT.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">DelDOT follows guidelines very
similar to DWSRF project requirements (public biding, AIS, wage rates, disadvantage business, etc.). Therefore, it has been determined
that the DelDOT construction project (including the Borrower&rsquo;s water main work) meets all DWSRF requirements, and payment of the

and Meadows water distribution systems has brought the two systems within proximity so that interconnection is considered feasible and
appropriate. The Borrower has already completed two projects (Phase 1 and 2A to bring water to new projects in coordination with a proposed
interconnection). The completion of the interconnection (Phase 2B) will provide resiliency by linking the water supply and storage assets
of the Meadows and Angola systems, and along with the Rehoboth District will complete the connection of the Borrower&rsquo;s three large
districts north of the inlet.</P>

September 2021, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued a Notice of Non-Compliance (Notice) to Middlesex
based on self-reporting by Middlesex that the level of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in water treated at its Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment
Plant in South Plainfield, New Jersey exceeded a standard promulgated in a NJDEP regulation that became effective in 2021. The NJDEP standard
for PFOA was developed based on a Health-based Maximum Contaminant Level of 14 parts per trillion. Neither the NJDEP nor Middlesex had
characterized this exceedance as an acute health threat. However, Middlesex was required by the regulation to notify its affected customers
and complied in November 2021.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Notice further required the Company to take any
action necessary to comply with the new standard by September 7, 2022. Prior to 2023, the Company began design for construction of an
enhanced treatment process at the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant to comply with the new standard prior to the regulation being
enacted. At that time, the completion of enhanced treatment process was not expected until mid-2023. Consequently, in November 2021, the
Company implemented an interim solution to meet the Notice requirements, which included putting the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant
in off-line status and obtaining alternate sources of supply. Subsequently, in June 2022, the Company accelerated the in-service date
for a portion of the enhanced treatment project that allowed a restart of the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant and it is effectively

million of the increase effective January 1, 2022 and the remaining $7.0 million effective January 1, 2023. As part of the settlement,
the Purchased Water Adjustment Clause (PWAC), which is a rate mechanism that allows for recovery of increased purchased water costs between

Inc. (Twin Lakes)</b></span><b> &#8211;</b> <span style="font-size: 10pt">Twin Lakes provides water services to approximately 115 residential
customers in Shohola, Pennsylvania. Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code, Twin Lakes filed a petition requesting the Pennsylvania
Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC) to order the acquisition of Twin Lakes by a capable public utility. The PAPUC assigned an Administrative
Law Judge (ALJ) to adjudicate the matter and submit a recommended decision (Recommended Decision) to the PAPUC. As part of this legal
proceeding the PAPUC also issued an Order in January 2021 appointing a large Pennsylvania based investor-owned water utility as the receiver
(the Receiver Utility) of the Twin Lakes system until the petition is fully adjudicated by the PAPUC. In November 2021, the PAPUC issued
an Order affirming the ALJ&#8217;s Recommended Decision, ordering the Receiver Utility to acquire the Twin Lakes water system and for
Middlesex, the parent company of Twin Lakes, to submit $1.7 million into an escrow account within 30 days. Twin Lakes immediately filed
a Petition For Review (PFR) with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (the Commonwealth Court) seeking reversal and vacation of the
escrow requirement on the grounds that it violates the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code as well as the United States Constitution. In
addition, Twin Lakes filed an emergency petition for stay of the PAPUC Order pending the Commonwealth Court&#8217;s review of the merits
arguments contained in Twin Lakes&#8217; PFR. In December 2021, the Commonwealth Court granted Twin Lakes&#8217; emergency petition, pending
its review. In August 2022, the Commonwealth Court issued an opinion upholding PAPUC&#8217;s November 2021 Order in its entirety. In September
2022, Twin Lakes filed a Petition For Allowance of Appeal (Appeal Petition) to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania seeking reversal of the
Commonwealth Court&#8217;s decision to uphold the escrow requirement on the grounds that the Commonwealth Court erred in failing to address
Twin Lakes&#8217; claims that because the $1.7 million escrow requirement placed on Middlesex violated Middlesex&#8217;s constitutional
rights, Middlesex&#8217;s refusal to submit this escrow payment so as not to surrender its constitutional rights would jeopardize the
relief Twin Lakes was otherwise entitled to in the appointment of the Receiver Utility. In March 2023, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
issued a decision denying Twin Lakes&#8217; Appeal Petition without addressing this claim on the merits. As a result of the Pennsylvania
Courts&#8217; failure to address Twin Lakes&#8217; claim, Middlesex has subsequently filed a Complaint with the United States District
Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to address the issue of whether the PAPUC&#8217;s Order violated Middlesex&#8217;s rights
under the United States Constitution.</span></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The financial results, total assets and financial

One is the regulated business of collecting, treating and distributing water on a retail and wholesale basis to residential, commercial,
industrial and fire protection customers in parts of New Jersey and Delaware. This segment also includes regulated wastewater systems
in New Jersey and Delaware.&#160;The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters by New Jersey and
Delaware with respect to utility services within these states. The other segment is primarily comprised of non-regulated contract services
for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware.&#160;Inter-segment
transactions relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance charges on inter-segment loan activities are
based on interest rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third party lender.</p><div>

from regulated tariff-based sales of water and wastewater services and non-regulated operation and maintenance contracts for services
on water and wastewater systems owned by others. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of a promised good or
service is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange
for those goods and services.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>&#160;</b></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s regulated revenue from contracts
with customers results from tariff-based sales from the provision of water and wastewater services to residential, industrial, commercial,
fire-protection and wholesale customers. Residential customers are billed quarterly while most industrial, commercial, fire-protection
and wholesale customers are billed monthly. Payments by customers are due between 15 and 30 days after the invoice date. Revenue is recognized
as the water and wastewater services are delivered to customers as well as from accrual of unbilled revenues estimated from the last meter
reading date to the end of the accounting period utilizing factors such as historical customer data, regional weather indicators and general
economic conditions in the relevant service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings

base service fees, as well as fees for additional billable services provided to customers. Fees are billed monthly and are due within
30 days after the invoice date. The Company considers the amounts billed to represent the value of these services provided to customers.
These contracts expire at various times through June 2032 and contain remaining performance obligations for which the Company expects
to recognize revenue in the future. These contracts also contain termination provisions.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Substantially all of the amounts included in operating

<td class="text"><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Regulatory Notice of Non-Compliance &#8211; </b>In
September 2021, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued a Notice of Non-Compliance (Notice) to Middlesex
based on self-reporting by Middlesex that the level of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in water treated at its Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment
Plant in South Plainfield, New Jersey exceeded a standard promulgated in a NJDEP regulation that became effective in 2021. The NJDEP standard
for PFOA was developed based on a Health-based Maximum Contaminant Level of 14 parts per trillion. Neither the NJDEP nor Middlesex had
characterized this exceedance as an acute health threat. However, Middlesex was required by the regulation to notify its affected customers
and complied in November 2021.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Notice further required the Company to take any
action necessary to comply with the new standard by September 7, 2022. Prior to 2023, the Company began design for construction of an
enhanced treatment process at the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant to comply with the new standard prior to the regulation being
enacted. At that time, the completion of enhanced treatment process was not expected until mid-2023. Consequently, in November 2021, the
Company implemented an interim solution to meet the Notice requirements, which included putting the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant
in off-line status and obtaining alternate sources of supply. Subsequently, in June 2022, the Company accelerated the in-service date
for a portion of the enhanced treatment project that allowed a restart of the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant and it is effectively
treating the ground water to ensure compliance with all state and federal drinking water standards.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><i>&#160;</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">On September 13, 2022, the Company entered into an

compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, N.J.S.A, 58:12A-1 et seq., and the Safe Drinking Water Act regulations N.J.A.C. 7:10-1 et
seq., including applicable public notifications. The Company&#8217;s agreement to enter into an ACO avoided any further Notice regarding
the fact that the permanent treatment solution was not in service by September 7, 2022. As prescribed in the ACO, the Company will issue
periodic public notifications until the ACO is closed. In addition, in accordance with the ACO:</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" width="100%"><tr style="vertical-align: top">

Disclosures include amounts of borrowings under each arrangement, description of underlying arrangements, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements such as the effects of refinancings and noncompliance with debt covenants.</p></div>

September 2021, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued a Notice of Non-Compliance (Notice) to Middlesex
based on self-reporting by Middlesex that the level of Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) in water treated at its Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment
Plant in South Plainfield, New Jersey exceeded a standard promulgated in a NJDEP regulation that became effective in 2021. The NJDEP standard
for PFOA was developed based on a Health-based Maximum Contaminant Level of 14 parts per trillion. Neither the NJDEP nor Middlesex had
characterized this exceedance as an acute health threat. However, Middlesex was required by the regulation to notify its affected customers
and complied in November 2021.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Notice further required the Company to take any
action necessary to comply with the new standard by September 7, 2022. Prior to 2023, the Company began design for construction of an
enhanced treatment process at the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant to comply with the new standard prior to the regulation being
enacted. At that time, the completion of enhanced treatment process was not expected until mid-2023. Consequently, in November 2021, the
Company implemented an interim solution to meet the Notice requirements, which included putting the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant
in off-line status and obtaining alternate sources of supply. Subsequently, in June 2022, the Company accelerated the in-service date
for a portion of the enhanced treatment project that allowed a restart of the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant and it is effectively
treating the ground water to ensure compliance with all state and federal drinking water standards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;On September 13, 2022, the Company entered into an
Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with the NJDEP, which requires the Company to take whatever actions are necessary to achieve and maintain
compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, N.J.S.A, 58:12A-1 et seq., and the Safe Drinking Water Act regulations N.J.A.C. 7:10-1 et
seq., including applicable public notifications. The Company&#x2019;s agreement to enter into an ACO avoided any further Notice regarding
the fact that the permanent treatment solution was not in service by September 7, 2022. As prescribed in the ACO, the Company will issue
periodic public notifications until the ACO is closed.

schedule and/or progress reporting requirements of the ACO could lead to penalties up to $500 per day. In addition, the NJDEP could penalize

PFOA-related class action lawsuits seeking restitution for medical, water replacement and other claimed related costs. These lawsuits
are in the early stages of the legal process and their ultimate resolution cannot be predicted at this time. The Company&#x2019;s insurance
provider has acknowledged coverage of potential liability which may result from these lawsuits. In May 2022, the Company impleaded 3M
Company (3M) as a third-party defendant in one of these class action lawsuits.&#160;The Company&#160;had previously initiated a separate
lawsuit&#160; against 3M seeking to hold 3M accountable for introduction of perfluoroalkyl substances (commonly known as &#x201c;PFAS&#x201d;),
which include PFOA,&#160;into the Company&#x2019;s water supply at its&#160;Park Avenue&#160;Wellfield facility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In January 2022, the Company filed a petition with
the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) seeking to establish a regulatory asset and deferred accounting treatment until its next
base rate setting proceeding for all costs associated with the interim solution to comply with the Notice. The Company is currently awaiting
a decision on this matter from the NJBPU.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color: windowtext"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Pandemic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &#x2013; In January 2023, the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services renewed the determination that a
nationwide health emergency exists as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic with an announced end to the nationwide health emergency on May
11, 2023. While the Company&#x2019;s operations and capital construction program have not been materially disrupted to date from the pandemic,
the COVID-19 impact on economic conditions nationally continues to be uncertain and could affect the Company&#x2019;s results of operations,
financial condition and liquidity in the future. In New Jersey, the declared COVID-19 State of Emergency ended in March 2022. In Delaware,
the declared COVID-19 State of Emergency Order ended in July 2021.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The NJBPU and the Delaware Public Service Commission
(DEPSC) have approved the tracking of COVID-19 related incremental costs for potential recovery in customer rates in future rate proceedings.
Middlesex must file a petition with the NJBPU for cost recovery of COVID-19 related incremental costs by May 15, 2023. Delaware has not
established a timetable or definitive formal procedures for seeking cost recovery. The Company has increased its allowance for doubtful
accounts for higher accounts receivable write-offs due to the financial impact of COVID-19 on customers. We will continue to monitor the
effects of COVID-19 and evaluate its impact on the Company&#x2019;s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recent Accounting Guidance &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;There is no new adopted or proposed accounting guidance

Company (3M) as a third-party defendant in one of these class action lawsuits.&#160;The Company&#160;had previously initiated a separate
lawsuit&#160; against 3M seeking to hold 3M accountable for introduction of perfluoroalkyl substances (commonly known as &#x201c;PFAS&#x201d;),

Pandemic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &#x2013; In January 2023, the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services renewed the determination that a
nationwide health emergency exists as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic with an announced end to the nationwide health emergency on May
11, 2023. While the Company&#x2019;s operations and capital construction program have not been materially disrupted to date from the pandemic,
the COVID-19 impact on economic conditions nationally continues to be uncertain and could affect the Company&#x2019;s results of operations,

&#x2013; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;In December 2021, Middlesex&#x2019;s base rate case was concluded, by negotiated settlement,
resulting in an expected increase in annual operating revenues of $27.7 million. The increase was implemented in two phases with $20.7
million of the increase effective January 1, 2022 and the remaining $7.0 million effective January 1, 2023. As part of the settlement,
the Purchased Water Adjustment Clause (PWAC), which is a rate mechanism that allows for recovery of increased purchased water costs between
base rate case filings, was reset to zero. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In September 2022, the NJBPU approved Middlesex's
Emergency Relief Motion to reset its PWAC tariff rate to recover additional costs of $2.7 million for the purchase of treated water from
a non-affiliated water utility. The increase, effective October 1, 2022, is on an interim basis and subject to refund with interest, pending
final resolution of this matter, which is expected in the second quarter of 2023.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pinelands &#x2013; &lt;/b&gt;On April 12, 2023, Pinelands
Water and Pinelands Wastewater concluded their base rate case matters when the NJBPU approved a combined $1.0 million increase in base

Inc. (Twin Lakes)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt; &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Twin Lakes provides water services to approximately 115 residential
customers in Shohola, Pennsylvania. Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code, Twin Lakes filed a petition requesting the Pennsylvania
Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC) to order the acquisition of Twin Lakes by a capable public utility. The PAPUC assigned an Administrative
Law Judge (ALJ) to adjudicate the matter and submit a recommended decision (Recommended Decision) to the PAPUC. As part of this legal
proceeding the PAPUC also issued an Order in January 2021 appointing a large Pennsylvania based investor-owned water utility as the receiver
(the Receiver Utility) of the Twin Lakes system until the petition is fully adjudicated by the PAPUC. In November 2021, the PAPUC issued
an Order affirming the ALJ&#x2019;s Recommended Decision, ordering the Receiver Utility to acquire the Twin Lakes water system and for
Middlesex, the parent company of Twin Lakes, to submit $1.7 million into an escrow account within 30 days. Twin Lakes immediately filed
a Petition For Review (PFR) with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (the Commonwealth Court) seeking reversal and vacation of the
escrow requirement on the grounds that it violates the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code as well as the United States Constitution. In
addition, Twin Lakes filed an emergency petition for stay of the PAPUC Order pending the Commonwealth Court&#x2019;s review of the merits
arguments contained in Twin Lakes&#x2019; PFR. In December 2021, the Commonwealth Court granted Twin Lakes&#x2019; emergency petition, pending
its review. In August 2022, the Commonwealth Court issued an opinion upholding PAPUC&#x2019;s November 2021 Order in its entirety. In September
2022, Twin Lakes filed a Petition For Allowance of Appeal (Appeal Petition) to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania seeking reversal of the
Commonwealth Court&#x2019;s decision to uphold the escrow requirement on the grounds that the Commonwealth Court erred in failing to address
Twin Lakes&#x2019; claims that because the $1.7 million escrow requirement placed on Middlesex violated Middlesex&#x2019;s constitutional
rights, Middlesex&#x2019;s refusal to submit this escrow payment so as not to surrender its constitutional rights would jeopardize the
relief Twin Lakes was otherwise entitled to in the appointment of the Receiver Utility. In March 2023, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
issued a decision denying Twin Lakes&#x2019; Appeal Petition without addressing this claim on the merits. As a result of the Pennsylvania
Courts&#x2019; failure to address Twin Lakes&#x2019; claim, Middlesex has subsequently filed a Complaint with the United States District
Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania to address the issue of whether the PAPUC&#x2019;s Order violated Middlesex&#x2019;s rights
under the United States Constitution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The financial results, total assets and financial

approval, the Company periodically issues long-term debt to fund its investments in utility plant. To the extent possible and fiscally
prudent, the Company finances qualifying capital projects under State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan programs in New Jersey and Delaware. These
government programs provide financing at interest rates typically below rates available in the broader financial markets. A portion of
the borrowings under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Under the New Jersey SRF program, borrowers first
enter into a construction loan agreement with the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) at a below market interest rate. When construction
on the qualifying project is substantially complete, NJIB will coordinate the conversion of the construction loan into a long-term securitized
loan with a portion of the principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent (0%) and a portion of the principal balance
at a market interest rate at the time of closing using the credit rating of the State of New Jersey.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Although the Company&#x2019;s has no current projects

under the terms of the NJBPU approval, the Companies have opted to allocate the borrowing to a portion in 2023 and a portion prior to
the expiration of the approval. For 2023, the companies will each borrow up to $3.0 million in one or more draws. The interest rate will

Financial Instruments &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;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 condensed 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 FMBs and SRF Bonds (collectively, the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based on quoted market prices for similar
publicly traded 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: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; border-collapse: collapse; width: 90%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto"&gt;

One is the regulated business of collecting, treating and distributing water on a retail and wholesale basis to residential, commercial,
industrial and fire protection customers in parts of New Jersey and Delaware. This segment also includes regulated wastewater systems
in New Jersey and Delaware.&#160;The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters by New Jersey and
Delaware with respect to utility services within these states. The other segment is primarily comprised of non-regulated contract services
for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware.&#160;Inter-segment
transactions relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance charges on inter-segment loan activities are
based on interest rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third party lender.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;

Company&#x2019;s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company&#x2019;s obligation to make
lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value
of lease payments over the lease term. The Company&#x2019;s operating lease does not provide an implicit discount rate and as such the
Company used an estimated incremental borrowing rate (4.03%) based on the information available at the commencement date in determining
the present value of lease payments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Given the impacts of accounting for regulated operations,

&#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;The Company has forecasted to spend approximately $111 million for its construction program
in 2023. The Company has entered into several construction contracts that, in the aggregate, obligate expenditure of an estimated $20.5
million in the future. The actual amount and timing of capital expenditures is dependent on the need for replacement of existing infrastructure,
customer growth, residential new home construction and sales, project scheduling, supply chain issues and continued refinement of project
scope and costs. With continued upward pressure on mortgage interest rates, as well as other financial market uncertainties, there is
no assurance that projected customer growth and residential new home construction and sales will occur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PFOA Matter &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#x2013;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;In November 2021, the Company was served with two PFOA-related class action lawsuits seeking restitution
for medical, water replacement and other related costs and economic damages. These lawsuits are in the early stages of the legal process
and their ultimate resolution cannot be predicted at this time. The Company&#x2019;s insurance provider has acknowledged coverage of potential
liability resulting from these lawsuits (for further discussion of this matter, see &lt;i&gt;Note 1 - Regulatory Notice of Non-Compliance&lt;/i&gt;).
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contingencies &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; Based on our operations
in the heavily-regulated water and wastewater industries, the Company is routinely involved in disputes, claims, lawsuits and other regulatory
and legal matters, including responsibility for fines and penalties relative to regulatory compliance. At this time, Management does not
believe the final resolution of any such matters, whether asserted or unasserted, will have a material adverse effect on the Company&#x2019;s
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.&#160;In addition, the Company maintains business insurance coverage that may
mitigate the effect of any current or future loss contingencies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Change in Control
Agreements&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt; &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;The Company has Change in Control Agreements with its executive officers
that provide compensation and benefits in the event of termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

hired prior to April 1, 2007. Employees hired after March 31, 2007 are not eligible to participate in this plan, but do participate in
a defined contribution plan that provides for a potential annual contribution in an amount at the discretion of the Company, based upon
a percentage of the participants&#x2019; annual paid compensation. For each of the three -month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022,
the Company did not make cash contributions to the Pension Plan. The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $1.9
million over the remainder of the current year. The Company also maintains an unfunded supplemental retirement benefit plan for certain
active and retired Company officers and currently pays $0.5 million in annual benefits to the retired participants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Other Postretirement

from regulated tariff-based sales of water and wastewater services and non-regulated operation and maintenance contracts for services
on water and wastewater systems owned by others. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of a promised good or
service is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange
for those goods and services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s regulated revenue from contracts
with customers results from tariff-based sales from the provision of water and wastewater services to residential, industrial, commercial,
fire-protection and wholesale customers. Residential customers are billed quarterly while most industrial, commercial, fire-protection
and wholesale customers are billed monthly. Payments by customers are due between 15 and 30 days after the invoice date. Revenue is recognized
as the water and wastewater services are delivered to customers as well as from accrual of unbilled revenues estimated from the last meter
reading date to the end of the accounting period utilizing factors such as historical customer data, regional weather indicators and general
economic conditions in the relevant service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings
in advance to Tidewater customers recognized as service is provided to the customer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 146.25pt"/&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Non-regulated service contract revenues consist of
base service fees, as well as fees for additional billable services provided to customers. Fees are billed monthly and are due within
30 days after the invoice date. The Company considers the amounts billed to represent the value of these services provided to customers.
These contracts expire at various times through June 2032 and contain remaining performance obligations for which the Company expects
to recognize revenue in the future. These contracts also contain termination provisions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Substantially all of the amounts included in operating
revenues and accounts receivable are from contracts with customers. The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical
write-offs combined with an evaluation of current economic conditions within its service territories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s contracts do not contain any significant
