SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2022. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Artesian Resources Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including its principal operating company, Artesian Water. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments (unless otherwise noted) necessary to present fairly the Company's balance sheet position as of March 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, its cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 and the changes in stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. The December 31, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the Company’s December 31, 2021 audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures and notes normally provided in annual financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or for future periods. Use of Estimates The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions regarding the reported amounts of assets and liabilities including unbilled revenues, credit losses and reserves for bad debt, regulatory asset recovery, lease agreements and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from management's estimates. All additions to utility plant are recorded at cost. Business combinations pursuant to ASC Topic 805 may result in a purchase price allocation and the acquired assets are required to be evaluated by the applicable regulatory agency. Artesian Wastewater acquired TESI in January 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the accounting for the transaction was preliminary. Management’s preliminary determination of fair value of the tangible assets acquired using the cost method requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to economic lives of the assets, replacement costs, and physical characteristics of the tangible assets acquired. A third party valuation specialist will assist with the valuation of the assets acquired. The purchase price allocation is expected to be finalized once the valuation of assets acquired has been completed, no later than one year after the acquisition date. Reclassification Certain accounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity.
