The Post Effective Amendment filed herewith relates to Registration No.

The date of this Prospectus Supplement is January 29, 2003.
RE: SPECIAL 5% DISCOUNT OFFER TO DRIP PLAN PARTICIPANTS
Dear Shareholder:
This letter supplements certain information contained in the prospectus
dated January 25, 2000, (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 25 of
the Prospectus.
For a limited period of time Middlesex Water Company is offering to sell up
to 150,000 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 February
28, 2003, and September 2, 2003, 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 February
20, 2003, and August 20, 2003.
The 5% reduction in price also will apply to dividends paid and reinvested
on February 28, 2003, (to holders of record February 14, 2003). In addition,
this discount will apply to any other dividends declared, paid and reinvested
during the discount period.
This offer is limited to an aggregate of 150,000 shares on a first-come,
first-served basis. During this reduction period, the price of the stock will be
95% of the purchase price as described in the answer to Question 24 of 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If purchases are made at the reduced price and shares are then withdrawn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% purchase price 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withdrawn.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 and 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.
