The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the terms of this offering of Middlesex Common Stock and also adds to and
updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus. The second part, the accompanying prospectus dated May&nbsp;12, 2025, including the documents incorporated
by reference therein, provides more general information. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to both parts
of this document combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the
one hand, and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference that was filed with
the SEC before the date of this prospectus supplement, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.
If any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date (for example, a document
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or in the accompanying prospectus) the statement in the document having the later
date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration
statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 we have filed with the SEC, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;).
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not contain all of the information in the registration statement. We have
omitted certain parts of the registration statement, as permitted by the rules&nbsp;and regulations of the SEC. You may find the registration
statement, including exhibits, on the SEC&rsquo;s website at www.sec.gov. See &ldquo;Where You Can Find More Information&rdquo; and &ldquo;Incorporation

Water Company Investment Plan (the &ldquo;Plan&rdquo;) is to promote long-term stock ownership among existing and new investors in Middlesex
Water Company (&ldquo;Middlesex&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) by providing a convenient and economical method to purchase shares
of the Company&rsquo;s Common Stock, no par value (&ldquo;Common Stock&rdquo;) directly and reinvest cash dividends in shares of Common
Stock without payment of a brokerage commission. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate participation in the Plan by otherwise
eligible holders of Common Stock or new investors in order to eliminate practices which we determine, in our sole discretion, to be inconsistent
with the purposes of the Plan. Unless the context provides otherwise, references to &ldquo;shares&rdquo; are references to shares of
Common Stock.</P>

telephone number or through the mail at any time. The Plan Agent will forward promptly such requests to the registered broker-dealer
utilized by the Plan. This broker-dealer will sell the shares on the open market. The payment remitted for the shares sold will reflect
any applicable administrative fees and brokerage commission and will be the average weighted price for all shares sold on the trade date
or dates. In general, sales are made at least once a week. Depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volume in
the shares, sales may be executed in multiple transactions and may be traded on more than one day. The selling price will not be known
until the sale is complete. A check for the proceeds of the sale of shares less applicable taxes, transaction fees and brokerage commissions,
will normally be mailed to the participating shareholder by first class mail within two (2)&nbsp;business days after the final trade
settlement date. A direct deposit for the proceeds of the sale of shares less applicable taxes, transaction fees and brokerage commissions
will normally be issued to the receiving bank account within two (2)&nbsp;business days after the final trade settlement date.</P>

of the request. You will receive the proceeds of sale, less any brokerage commission, sales fee(s), and transfer tax. Receipt by the
Plan Agent of due notice of a participant&rsquo;s death or incompetence shall be deemed a notice of withdrawal. Because the Plan Agent
will arrange for the sale of shares on behalf of the Plan, neither the Company nor any participant under the Plan has the authority or
power to control the timing or pricing of sales, or the selection of the broker-dealer making the sales. Therefore, you will not be able
to precisely time your sales through the Plan, and will bear the market risk associated with fluctuation in the price of the Common Stock.
The price of the Common Stock could go up or down before the broker sells your shares. In addition, you will not earn interest on any
cash proceeds generated by a sales transaction for your account.</P>

This summary is based on current law and regulations as of the date of this prospectus supplement, including the Internal Revenue Code

and practices of the Internal Revenue Service (including rulings and other administrative interpretations and practices expressed in
private letter rulings which are binding on the Internal Revenue Service only with respect to the particular taxpayers who requested
and received those rulings), and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations
or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Future legislation, Treasury regulations, rulings and other administrative interpretations
and practices, and/or court decisions may adversely affect the tax consequences described in this prospectus supplement. Any such change
could apply retroactively to transactions preceding the date of the change. We have not requested and do not intend to request a ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the tax consequences associated with participating in the Plan, and the statements in this
prospectus supplement are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court. Thus, we can provide no assurance that the tax consequences
contained in this summary will not be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service or will be sustained by a court if challenged by the

with their reinvested dividends. The discount amount on such purchase, if any, will be treated as being part of the distribution received.

cash distributions, the distributions described above will constitute taxable dividend income to U.S. participants to the extent of our
current and accumulated earnings and profits allocable to the distributions. Any excess distributions will constitute a nontaxable return
of capital which reduces the basis of the U.S. participant&rsquo;s Common Stock and will be taxed as capital gain (which will be either
long-term or short-term capital gain depending upon whether the U.S. Participant has held the common shares for more than one year) to
the extent that such distributions exceed the U.S. participant&rsquo;s tax basis in the U.S. participant&rsquo;s Common Stock. Under
current law, subject to holding-period requirements and certain other limitations, dividends received with respect to Common Stock by
a U.S. Participant who is an individual generally will be treated as qualified dividend income that is taxable to such U.S. Participant
at preferential capital gain tax rates.</P>

consequences relating to an optional cash purchase under the Plan are uncertain. The Internal Revenue Service has indicated through private

by optional cash payment will be treated as having received a distribution equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value, determined
on the investment date, of the Common Stock purchased over the amount of the cash payment made by the U.S. participant. In addition,
if the Plan Agent acquires such Common Stock in an open market transaction or in negotiated transactions with third parties, then the
U.S. participant will be treated as also having received a distribution equal to a pro rata share of any brokerage trading fees or other
related charges paid by us on behalf of the U.S. participant. The Plan currently provides that we will pay brokerage trading fees for

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Internal Revenue Service
has issued private letter rulings that indicate that a U.S. participant who participates solely in the cash purchase portion of a plan
(whether as an initial or as an additional investment) would not be treated as having received a distribution of the discount amount
on such purchase, if any, and, therefore, would not realize any taxable income upon such purchase that would be attributable to the discount.
Private letter rulings are only binding on the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the taxpayer to which the ruling was issued.
Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service would take this position with respect to any such transactions
occurring under the Plan. Therefore, we strongly urge you to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of receiving a discount
on cash investments in Common Stock made through the Plan.</P>

the Plan and, in the case of a fractional share, when the U.S. participant receives a cash payment for a fraction of a share credited
to his or her account. The amount of the taxable gain or loss will be the difference between (i)&nbsp;the amount that the U.S. participant
realizes on or receives for the Common Stock or fraction of a share and (ii)&nbsp;the adjusted tax basis the U.S. participant has in
the Common Stock or fraction of a share. Such gain or loss generally will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Participant&rsquo;s
holding period is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition, or short-term capital gain or loss otherwise.

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">In general, any dividend
reinvested under the Plan is not subject to United States federal income tax withholding. We or the Plan Agent may be required to deduct
as &ldquo;backup withholding&rdquo; (currently at a 24% rate) on all distributions paid or deemed paid to a stockholder, regardless of
whether those distributions are reinvested. Similarly, the Plan Agent may be required to deduct backup withholding from all proceeds
of sales of Common Stock held in a Plan account. A U.S. participant is subject to backup withholding if (1)&nbsp;the U.S. participant
has failed to properly furnish us and the Plan Agent with the U.S. participant&rsquo;s taxpayer identification number; (2)&nbsp;the Internal
Revenue Service notifies us or the Plan Agent that the identification number furnished by the U.S. participant is incorrect; (3)&nbsp;the
Internal Revenue Service notifies us or the Plan Agent that backup withholding should be commenced because the U.S. participant failed
to report properly distributions paid to him, her or it; or (4)&nbsp;when required to do so, the U.S. participant fails to certify, under
penalties of perjury, that the U.S. participant is not subject to backup withholding.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Backup withholding amounts
will be withheld from dividends before those dividends are reinvested under the Plan. Therefore, dividends to be reinvested under the
Plan by U.S. participants subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the backup withholding amount. Backup withholding is not an
additional tax. Rather, a U.S. participant generally may obtain a credit for any amount withheld against its liability for U.S. federal
income tax (and obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of such liability) by accurately completing and timely filing a U.S.
federal income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service. We intend to take the position that administrative expenses of the Plan
paid by us are not constructive distributions to U.S. participants.</P>

The Registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266482) on August 3, 2022 (the "2022 Registration Statement") which registered an aggregate of 911,201 shares of Common Stock pursuant to prospectus supplements filed on August 8, 2022 and July 25, 2023 (such shares, the "Previously Registered Shares"). As of the date hereof, 712,353 of the Previously Registered Shares remain unsold.

Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee when the Previously Registered Securities were initially registered. Such estimate has been computed in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act based on the averages of the high and low prices of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on and August 1, 2022 and July 24, 2023.</ix:nonNumeric>

<td class="text">Calculated in accordance with Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266482) on August 3, 2022 (the "2022 Registration Statement") which registered an aggregate of 911,201 shares of Common Stock pursuant to prospectus supplements filed on August 8, 2022 and July 25, 2023 (such shares, the "Previously Registered Shares"). As of the date hereof, 712,353 of the Previously Registered Shares remain unsold.

Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee when the Previously Registered Securities were initially registered. Such estimate has been computed in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act based on the averages of the high and low prices of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on and August 1, 2022 and July 24, 2023.<span></span>

The Registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266482) on August 3, 2022 (the "2022 Registration Statement") which registered an aggregate of 911,201 shares of Common Stock pursuant to prospectus supplements filed on August 8, 2022 and July 25, 2023 (such shares, the "Previously Registered Shares"). As of the date hereof, 712,353 of the Previously Registered Shares remain unsold.

Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee when the Previously Registered Securities were initially registered. Such estimate has been computed in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act based on the averages of the high and low prices of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on and August 1, 2022 and July 24, 2023.</ffd:OfferingNote>
