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. 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 to ensure compliance

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="c64" 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="c65" 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 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. We are currently awaiting the Court&#8217;s decision.</span></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></p></ix:nonNumeric><div>

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>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s revenues are primarily generated
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">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
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">&#160;</p></ix:nonNumeric><div>

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>

- In May 2023, Middlesex filed a petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) seeking permission to increase annual
base water revenues by approximately $34 million. The request was necessitated predominantly by capital infrastructure investments Middlesex
has made, or has committed to make, to ensure proper maintenance, development and improvement of its utility assets to support continued
regulatory compliance and overall quality of service. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce
the amount of the request. Under New Jersey statute, the NJPBU must render a decision within nine months of filing a base rate change
petition.</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.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Prior to 2021, 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.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">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
to ensure compliance with all state and federal drinking water standards.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In September 2022, the Company entered into an Administrative
Consent Order (ACO) with the NJDEP with respect to the Notice, which voided any further notice regarding the fact that the permanent treatment
solution was not in service by September 7, 2022 as required by the Notice.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In June 2023, the Company completed the
      permanent construction of the Park Avenue Wellfield treatment upgrades, placed the treatment upgrades into operation, and the
      Company believes all water at the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant complies with the NJDEP PFOA standards. The Company believes
      it has complied with all current requirements of the ACO and is awaiting the NJDEP&#8217;s confirmation.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In November 2021, the Company was served with
      two 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&#8217;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 also initiated a separate lawsuit against the claimed polluter, 3M, seeking to hold 3M accountable for the
      Company&#8217;s claim that 3M introduced PFAS, which include PFOA,&#160;into the Company&#8217;s water supply at its&#160;Park
      Avenue&#160;Wellfield facility. A trial date is set for October 2, 2023 in the United States District Court for the District of
      New Jersey in Newark, New Jersey.</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 continue to increase in 2023 in a variety of categories. These factors led Middlesex to
file for a base rate increase in May 2023. Tidewater has not yet determined the need to file for a base rate increase but continues to
monitor its requirements for a rate filing in 2023.</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>

million for the 2023-2025 capital investment program, including approximately $22 million for PFAS-related treatment upgrades, $18 million
for Lead and Copper Rule compliance in the Middlesex System, $34 million on the RENEW Program, which is our ongoing initiative to replace
water mains in the Middlesex System and $8 million for construction of elevated storage tanks in our Tidewater and Middlesex Systems.</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 $17.5 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>

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>

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-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 2021, 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. 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 to ensure compliance
with all state and federal drinking water standards.</p>

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.

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 the claimed polluter, 3M, seeking to hold 3M accountable for
the Company&#8217;s claim that 3M introduced perfluoroalkyl substances (commonly known as &#8220;PFAS&#8221;), which include
PFOA,&#160;into the Company&#8217;s water supply at its Park Avenue Wellfield facility. A trial date is set for October 2, 2023

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 third quarter of 2023.</p>

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 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. We are currently awaiting the Court&#8217;s decision.</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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company has identified two reportable segments.
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>

&#8211;</b> <span style="font-size: 10pt">The Company has forecasted to spend approximately $101 million for its construction program
in 2023. The Company has entered into several construction contracts that, in the aggregate, obligate expenditure of an estimated $13
million in the future. The actual amount and timing of capital expenditures is dependent on the need for upgrade or 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.</span></p>

and their ultimate resolution cannot be predicted at this time. The Company&#8217;s insurance provider has acknowledged coverage of potential
liability resulting from these lawsuits (for further discussion of this matter, see <i>Note 1 - Regulatory Notice of Non-Compliance</i>).

<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 revenues are primarily generated
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
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">&#160;</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">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.</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
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.</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">The Company&#8217;s contracts do not contain any significant
financing components.</p>

<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-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 2021, 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. 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 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">On September 13, 2022, the Company entered into an
Administrative Consent Order (ACO) with the NJDEP, which requires the Company to take whatever actions 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&#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">

permanent construction of the Park Avenue Wellfield treatment upgrades, placed the treatment upgrades into operation, and the
Company believes all water at the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant complies with the NJDEP PFOA standards. The Company believes
it has complied with all current requirements of the ACO and is awaiting the NJDEP&#8217;s confirmation.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In November 2021, the Company was served with
two 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&#8217;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 the claimed polluter, 3M, seeking to hold 3M accountable for
the Company&#8217;s claim that 3M introduced perfluoroalkyl substances (commonly known as &#8220;PFAS&#8221;), which include
PFOA,&#160;into the Company&#8217;s water supply at its Park Avenue Wellfield facility. A trial date is set for October 2, 2023
in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in Newark, New Jersey.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">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.</p><span></span>

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Regulatory Notice of Non-Compliance &#x2013; &lt;/b&gt;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.&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 2021, 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. 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 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 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. In addition, in accordance with the ACO:&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; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" width="100%"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In June 2023, the Company completed the
permanent construction of the Park Avenue Wellfield treatment upgrades, placed the treatment upgrades into operation, and the
Company believes all water at the Park Avenue Wellfield Treatment Plant complies with the NJDEP PFOA standards. The Company believes
it has complied with all current requirements of the ACO and is awaiting the NJDEP&#x2019;s confirmation.&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 November 2021, the Company was served with
two 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 the claimed polluter, 3M, seeking to hold 3M accountable for
the Company&#x2019;s claim that 3M introduced perfluoroalkyl substances (commonly known as &#x201c;PFAS&#x201d;), which include
PFOA,&#160;into the Company&#x2019;s water supply at its Park Avenue Wellfield facility. A trial date is set for October 2, 2023
in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in Newark, New Jersey.&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;

Pandemic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &#x2013; On May 11, 2023, the United States Department of Health and Human Services declared the end of the COVID-19
Pandemic nationwide health emergency. 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 has approved the tracking of COVID-19 related
incremental costs for potential recovery in customer rates in future rate proceedings. In May 2023, Middlesex filed a petition to defer
consideration of rate recovery of COVID-19 related incremental costs incurred until its next base rate case. The Company has increased
its allowance for doubtful accounts for expected 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

&#x2013; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;In May 2023, Middlesex filed a petition with the NJBPU seeking permission to increase annual
base water revenues by approximately $34 million. The request was necessitated predominantly by capital infrastructure investments Middlesex
has made, or has committed to make, to ensure proper maintenance, development and improvement of its utility assets to support continued
regulatory compliance and overall quality of service. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce
the amount of the request. Under New Jersey statute, the NJPBU must render a decision within nine months of filing a base rate change
petition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Replacement of Middlesex and Middlesex
customer-owned lead service lines is required by the New Jersey Lead Service Line Replacement Law. In May 2023, Middlesex filed a
petition seeking NJBPU approval of Middlesex&#x2019;s proposed cost recovery of its Lead Service Line Replacement Plan and cost
recovery of project costs associated with replacing Middlesex customer-owned lead service lines. Under this legislation, these costs
would be recovered through future customer surcharges. Middlesex currently estimates that replacement of Middlesex and Middlesex
customer-owned lead service lines will be approximately $57 million to $95 million over a nine-year period. We cannot predict when
and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny, or amend this petition.&lt;/p&gt;

seeking approval of a Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) Foundation Filing, which is a prerequisite to implementing a DSIC
rate that allows water utilities to recover investments in, and generate a return on, qualifying capital improvements to their water distribution
system made between base rate proceedings. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny, or amend this petition.&lt;/p&gt;

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 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. We are currently awaiting the Court&#x2019;s decision.&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
obligations of Twin Lakes are not material to Middlesex.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:PublicUtilitiesDisclosureTextBlock>

&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;Common Stock&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&#x2013; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were 75,764 common shares (approximately
$5.7 million) and 76,547 common shares (approximately $7.0 million) respectively, issued under the Middlesex Water Company Investment
Plan (the Investment Plan). &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;In April 2023, Middlesex received approval from the
NJBPU to issue and sell up to 1.0 million shares of its common stock, without par value, through December 31, 2025. Sales of additional
shares of common stock are part of the Company&#x2019;s comprehensive financing plan to fund its multi-year utility plant infrastructure
investment program. As described below in &#x201c;Long-term Debt&#x201d;, the NJBPU also approved the debt funding component of the financing
plan.&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;In March 2023, the Company began offering shares of
its common stock for purchase at a 3% discount to participants in the Investment Plan. The discount offering will continue until 200,000
shares are purchased at the discounted price or December 1, 2023, whichever event occurs first. The discount applies to all common stock
purchases made under the Investment Plan, whether by optional cash payment or by dividend reinvestment.&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;In May 2023, Middlesex received approval from the
NJBPU to increase the number of authorized shares under the Investment Plan by 0.7 million shares.&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;Long-term Debt &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; Subject to regulatory
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 has no current projects
in the NJIB loan program, it is seeking to have several projects added to the qualified list in order to borrow under the NJIB loan program.&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;In April 2023, Middlesex received approval from the
NJBPU to borrow up to $300.0 million from the New Jersey SRF Program, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, private placement
and other financial institutions as needed through December 31, 2025. The Company expects to issue debt securities in a series of one
or more transaction offerings over a multi-year period to help fund Middlesex&#x2019;s multi-year capital construction program.&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;In March 2023, Middlesex closed on a $40.0 million,
5.24% private placement of First Mortgage Bonds (FMBs) with a 2043 maturity date designated as Series 2023A. Proceeds were used to reduce
the Company&#x2019;s outstanding balances under its bank lines of credit.&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;In May 2023, Tidewater closed on a $20.0 million loan
from CoBank, ACB (CoBank) with an interest rate of 5.71% and a 2033 maturity date and fully drew all funds by June 30, 2023. Proceeds
from the loan were used to pay off Tidewater&#x2019;s outstanding balances under its bank lines of credit and for other general corporate
purposes.&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;In April 2023, Tidewater closed on three Delaware
Public Service Commission (DEPSC)-approved Delaware SRF loans totaling $10.2 million, all at interest rates of 2.0% with maturity dates
in 2043 and 2044. These loans are for the construction, relocation, improvement, relocation and/or interconnection of transmission mains.
Tidewater has drawn a total of $1.3 million through June 30, 2023 and expects that the requisitions will continue through mid-2024.&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;In December 2021, Tidewater closed on a DEPSC-approved
$5.0 million Delaware SRF loan at an interest rate of 2.0%. The loan was for construction of a one million gallon elevated storage tank.
Through June 30, 2023, Tidewater has drawn a total of $4.2 million and expects that the requisitions will continue through the third quarter
of 2023. The final maturity date on the loan is 2044.&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;Under the Delaware SRF Program, borrowers submit reimbursement
requisitions during the construction period. As the proceeds are received from the requisitions, Tidewater records a corresponding debt
obligation amount.&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;In July 2023, Pinelands Water and Pinelands Wastewater
closed on $3.9 million and $3.6 million CoBank amortizing mortgage type loans, respectively, with an interest rate of 6.17% and a final
maturity date of 2043 for each loan. Proceeds were used to pay off outstanding intercompany loans with Middlesex and for ongoing capital
projects.&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;

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 in the table below 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 FMBs in the table below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The carrying amount and fair value of the FMBs
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;The Company has identified two reportable segments.
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;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The interest rates are set for borrowings under the
Bank of America and PNC Bank lines of credit using the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate
(SOFR), respectively, and then adding a specific financial institution credit spread. The interest rate for borrowings under the CoBank
line of credit are set weekly using CoBank&#x2019;s internal cost of funds index that is similar to the SOFR and adding a credit spread.
There is no requirement for a compensating balance under any of the established lines of credit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding
borrowings at June 30, 2023 under these credit lines is 6.24%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Middlesex has an agreement with the New Jersey Water Supply Authority (NJWSA) for the purchase of untreated
water through November 30, 2023, which provides for an average purchase of 27 million gallons a day (mgd). The agreement renewal process
is underway and a new agreement is expected to be in place prior to the expiration date of the existing agreement. Middlesex does not
expect the agreement terms and conditions to vary. Pricing is set annually by the NJWSA through a public rate making process. The agreement
has provisions for additional pricing in the event Middlesex overdrafts or exceeds certain monthly and annual thresholds.&lt;/span&gt;&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;Leases&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Generally, a lease agreement
exists if the Company determines that the arrangement gives the Company control over the use of an identified asset and obtains substantially
all of the benefits from the identified asset.&lt;/span&gt;&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;The Company has entered into an operating lease of
office space for administrative purposes, expiring in 2030. The Company has not entered into any finance leases. The exercise of a lease
renewal option for the Company&#x2019;s administrative offices is solely at the discretion of the Company.&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;The right-of-use (ROU) asset recorded represents the
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, and the resulting recognition of expense at the amounts recovered in customer rates, expenditures for operating leases
are consistent with lease expense and were $0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and
$0.4 million for each at this six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

&#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;The Company has forecasted to spend approximately $101 million for its construction program
in 2023. The Company has entered into several construction contracts that, in the aggregate, obligate expenditure of an estimated $13
million in the future. The actual amount and timing of capital expenditures is dependent on the need for upgrade or 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;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;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;

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 six month periods ended June 30, 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

in this plan. Coverage includes healthcare and life insurance. For each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company
did not make cash contributions to its Other Benefits Plan. The Company expects to make additional Other Benefits Plan cash contributions
of $0.9 million over the remainder of the current year. &lt;/span&gt;&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 revenues are primarily generated
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;&#160;&lt;/p&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
financing components.&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"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s operating revenues are comprised of the following:&lt;/p&gt;
