</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Newark, DE, March&nbsp;15, 2007 &#151; (ARTNA)&nbsp;Artesian Resources Corporation (Artesian)
today announced that basic and diluted net income per common share for 2006
were $1.00 and $0.97, as compared to $0.84 and $0.81 in 2005, increases of
19.0% and 19.8% respectively. Revenues for 2006 were $48.6&nbsp;million, up 7.3%
from $45.3&nbsp;million in 2005. Net income available to common stockholders was
$6.1&nbsp;million, compared to $5.0&nbsp;million last year, a 20.6% increase. In 2006,
our annual dividend increased 7.5%, from $0.5952 per share in 2005 to $0.64 per
share in 2006. Over the past five years, the annualized dividend rate has
grown by an average of 5.2% each year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Revenues and income increased primarily as a result of a $2.6&nbsp;million, or 6.3%,
increase in water sales revenue and a $1.3&nbsp;million gain on sale of three acres
of land. The increase in water sales revenue reflects a 2.0% increase in the
number of customers served and rate increases placed in effect in 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In May, we filed for a change in rates to recover $30&nbsp;million in capital
expenditures for infrastructure improvements since our last rate request in
2004 and a 92% increase in electric costs we experienced upon expiration of the
price caps placed into effect as part of deregulation of electric service in
Delaware. In July, we placed into effect a temporary rate increase of 5.9%,
designed to generate an increase in annual revenue of $2.5&nbsp;million and to begin
partial recovery of our investments in infrastructure and increased electric
costs. As a result of a settlement agreement approved by the Public Service
Commission in December&nbsp;2006, we were awarded a total increase in annual revenue
of $6.0&nbsp;million, to be implemented in two steps beginning January&nbsp;1, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Commenting on Artesian&#146;s results for 2006, Artesian President and CEO, Dian C.
Taylor said, &#147;Despite the challenges of significantly higher electric costs and
the delay in recovering investments associated with rate proceedings, we were
able to achieve continued improvement in our financial results. In 2007, we
expect to see the benefit of the full year of additional revenue from
settlement of the rate request. In 2006, we also added 20 square miles of
water franchise territory. Our Delaware water franchise area has now more than
doubled in the past ten years.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Ms.&nbsp;Taylor reported, &#147;We also entered into agreements with the towns of Elkton
and Chesapeake City, Maryland to sell water to them at the Delaware state line
and expect the interconnection with Elkton will be in service later this year.
In addition, our recently announced agreement to purchase the Carpenters Point
Water Company, a regulated water utility in adjacent Cecil County, Maryland,
will position us well to serve the County&#146;s rapidly growing needs.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Ms.&nbsp;Taylor further stated, &#147;Although our core water utility business remains
our most significant source of revenue, our expansion into related businesses,
including wastewater services and our Service Line Protection Plan, continue to
contribute to our earnings. In 2006, we added nearly 2,000 acres to our
wastewater franchise area, began operation of four new wastewater facilities,
and have twelve new wastewater facilities under design and construction. We
recognize that design and construction revenues of our non-regulated wastewater
business are variable by their nature, but we are setting a solid foundation
for the consistent revenues of our regulated wastewater business.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Non-utility operating revenue decreased from $2.6&nbsp;million in 2005 to $1.7
million in 2006. The decrease reflects lower contract revenues associated with
wastewater treatment design and construction projects in southern Delaware.
Non-utility operating expenses decreased by $891,000 as a result of the decline
in wastewater treatment project activity. The decrease in non-utility
operating revenue was offset by a $225,000 increase in revenue from our Service
Line Protection Plan. The Service Line Protection Plan was initiated in March
2005 and covers parts, material and labor required to repair or replace a participant&#146;s leaking water service line up to an annual limit. As of the end
of 2006, about 12% of those eligible had enrolled in the plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Artesian Resources Corporation, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Artesian
Water Company, is the largest investor owned regulated public water utility in
the State of Delaware and has been providing superior water service within the
state since 1905. About $185&nbsp;million has been invested in utility plant over
the last 10&nbsp;years to provide sufficient treated supply, new water mains and
additional storage capacity to meet peak demands and provide fire protection.
The Company distributes and sells water to residential, commercial, industrial,
governmental, municipal and utility customers. As of December&nbsp;31, 2006,
Artesian was serving approximately 73,800 metered customers, providing water
service to about 243,000 residents (including contract services). Last year,
Artesian distributed 7.6&nbsp;billion gallons of water. Artesian serves its
