RESULTS</B></P>

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

<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in; text-align: center">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Iselin, NJ, (November 9, 2023) <I>- </I>Middlesex
Water Company (&ldquo;Middlesex&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) (NASDAQ:MSEX) a provider of water and wastewater services, today
announced third quarter financial results.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><B>Third Quarter Results</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2023
decreased $1.0 million to $46.7 million, compared to the same period in 2022. Middlesex System revenues decreased $0.2 million due mostly
to lower customer demand partially offset by the implementation of the final phase of the 2021 New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU)-approved
base rate increase. In our Delaware System, revenues decreased $0.7 million due to lower customer demand and a 2022 Delaware Public Service
Commission (DEPSC)-ordered rate reduction as a result of Tidewater Utilities exceeding its authorized return on equity. This revenue reduction
was partially offset by an increase in customers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Operations and maintenance expenses for the quarter
increased $2.3 million over the same period in 2022. The increase was largely related to higher purchased water, water treatment and outside
service costs in our Middlesex System.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Income taxes for the quarter decreased by $1.2
million, when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to greater income tax benefits associated with increased repair expenditures
on tangible property in the Middlesex system and lower pretax income.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Net income for the quarter decreased $ 4.3 million,
when compared to the same period in 2022. Diluted earnings per share were $0.56 and $0.80 for the three months ended September 30, 2023,
and 2022, respectively.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Middlesex Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer Dennis W. Doll said, &ldquo;We continue to view the calendar year 2023 as a period of significant transition as we execute our
succession plans, manage rate filing proceedings currently in progress and responsibly manage our resources.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><B>Year to Date Results</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
2023, were $127.7 million, an increase of $4.1 million over the same period in 2022. Middlesex System revenues increased $4.9 million
due mostly to the implementation of the final phase of the 2021 NJBPU-approved base rate increase. In our Delaware System, revenues decreased
$1.2 million due to lower new connection fees and a 2022 DEPSC-ordered rate reduction, partially offset by an increase in customers. Non-regulated
revenues increased $0.3 million primarily due to higher supplemental contract services.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Operations and maintenance expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2023 increased $5.0 million over the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher purchased water, water treatment
outside service and labor costs.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Income taxes for the nine
months ended September 30, 2023 decreased by $1.9 million, when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to greater income tax
benefits associated with increased repair expenditures on tangible property in the Middlesex system and lower pretax income.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We previously announced that our Board of Directors
declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.325 per common share payable on December 1, 2023, to shareholders of record as of November 16,
2023. This represents a 4.0% increase from the $0.3125 per share dividend last declared in July 2023. Middlesex has paid cash dividends
in varying amounts continually since 1912 and has increased its annual dividend rate for fifty-one consecutive years.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/115% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company&rsquo;s 3% discount on purchases by
optional cash payment or dividend reinvestment made in the Company&rsquo;s Investment Plan is in effect until 200,000 shares are purchased
at the discounted price or December 1, 2023, whichever occurs first. Information about Middlesex Water&rsquo;s Investment Plan (Direct
