The Post Effective Amendment filed herewith relates to
Registration No. 33-11717 on Form S-3 filed by the
registrant on December 12, 1991.
The date of this Prospectus Supplement is November 10, 1997
RE: SPECIAL 5% DISCOUNT OFFER TO DRIP PLAN PARTICIPANTS
Dear Shareholder:
This letter supplements certain information contained in the
Prospectus dated May 28, 1993, (the "Prospectus") covering the
Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Plan"). It refers especially to the reduced purchase price provision
covered in the answer to Question 14 of the Prospectus.
For a limited period of time Middlesex Water Company is offering to
sell shares of its Common Stock at a 5% discount to participants in the
Plan. The offer applies to all purchases under the Plan made between
January 2, 1998, and June 1, 1998, whether by Optional Cash Payment,
Dividend Reinvestment or employee payroll deduction. To take advantage
of this offer through Optional Cash Payments, the cash payment form
attached to your statement of account, together with your payment, must
be received by the Agent (Registrar and Transfer Company, 10 Commerce
Drive, Cranford, NJ 07016) between December 19, 1997, and May 20,
1998.
The 5% reduction in price will also apply to dividends paid and
reinvested on March 2, 1998, (to holders of record February 16, 1998)
and June 1, 1998, (to holders of record May 15, 1998).
This offer is limited to an aggregate of 100,000 shares on a first-
come, first-served basis. During this reduction period, the price of
the stock will be 95% of the Normal Purchase Price (or the Determined
Purchase Price, if applicable) as described in the answer to Question 14
in the Prospectus.
If purchases are made at the reduced price and shares are then
withdrawn from the Plan within six months after the purchase you will be
subject to a withdrawal fee equal to the original 5% per share reduction
on all shares withdrawn.
You should refer to the Prospectus for details and other terms of
the Plan. If you have any questions about this proposal or need an
additional copy of the Prospectus, please feel free to call Marion F.
Reynolds, Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer of the Company. If you do
not wish to participate in this offer, except for the reinvestment of
dividends, no action is required on your part.
Sincerely,
MIDDLESEX WATER COMPANY
