&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tidewater Acquisition of the Water Utility
Assets of the Town of Ocean View, Delaware &lt;/b&gt; - In April 2025, Tidewater completed the acquisition of the water utility assets of
the Town of Ocean View, Delaware (Ocean View) for approximately $4.6 million. Ocean View serves approximately 900 customers in
Sussex County, Delaware, who have been receiving water supply from Tidewater since the system was constructed in 2008. The purchase
price allocation consisted primarily of property and plant. The pro forma effect of this acquisition is not material
to the Company&#x2019;s results of operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
Issues Final Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Regulations&lt;/b&gt; - In April 2024, the USEPA finalized drinking water regulations for PFAS,
establishing maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for three PFAS compounds (Regulated PFAS) that are lower than the current New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection MCLs adhered to by the Company. Under the new USEPA regulations effective April 2024, water systems must monitor
for Regulated PFAS and have three years to complete initial monitoring (by April 2027), followed by ongoing compliance monitoring. Water
systems must also provide the public with information on the levels of Regulated PFAS in their drinking water beginning in 2027. Water
systems have five years (by April 2029) to implement solutions that reduce Regulated PFAS if monitoring shows that drinking water levels
exceed these MCLs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Beginning in April 2029, water systems that have Regulated
PFAS in drinking water which exceeds one or more of these MCLs must take action to reduce levels of these PFAS compounds in their drinking
water and must provide notification to the public of the violation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In anticipation of these new USEPA standards, in 2023,
the Company began implementing its strategy to meet these lower MCLs for Regulated PFAS and is currently performing preliminary engineering
studies to ensure that effective PFAS treatment approaches are implemented.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recent Accounting Guidance &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Middlesex &lt;/b&gt;&#x2013; In October 2023, the New
Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) approved Middlesex&#x2019;s petition for a Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) Foundation
Filing, which is a prerequisite to implementing a DSIC rate that allows water utilities to recover investments in, and generate a return
on, qualifying capital improvements to their water distribution system made between rate proceedings. Middlesex is authorized to recover
DSIC revenues up to five percent (5%) of total revenues established in Middlesex&#x2019;s 2021 base rate proceeding, or approximately $5.5
million. Semi-annually, beginning in April 2024, the Company must file for a change in its DSIC rate seeking recovery for DSIC-eligible
investments made during the period. DSIC rates remain in effect until Middlesex&#x2019;s next base rate case increase. Under the terms
of the Foundational Filing, the Company is required to file a base rate petition before November 2026.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In April 2025, Middlesex filed a third DSIC rate application
that is expected to result in $1.9 million of annual revenues starting June 2025, in addition to the existing $1.1 million of annual revenues
from the first and second DSIC filings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In February 2025, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&#x2019;s
petition to reset its Purchased Water Adjustment Clause (PWAC) tariff rate to recover additional annual costs of $0.5 million, primarily
for the purchase of treated water from a non-affiliated water utility regulated by the NJBPU. A PWAC is a rate mechanism that allows for
the recovery of increased purchased water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset to zero once those increased costs are
included in base rates. The new PWAC rate became effective March 1, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The NJBPU-approved Middlesex Lead Service Line Replacement
(LSLR) Plan continues and Middlesex is currently recovering costs of $0.6 million for replacing customer-owned lead service lines incurred
between July 2024 through December 2024, which will be recovered from March 2025 through August 2025. The LSLR surcharge is required to
be reset every six months over the life of the LSLR Plan. Cost recovery for replacing Company-owned lead service lines are recoverable
through traditional rate making in connection with general rate case filings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tidewater &lt;/b&gt;&#x2013; In September 2024, the Delaware
Public Service Commission (DEPSC) approved Tidewater&#x2019;s petition to recover up to $2.1 million of costs associated with Tidewater&#x2019;s
obligation to identify and inventory lead service lines throughout Tidewater&#x2019;s service area, as required by federal law and Delaware
regulations. Recovery of these costs began February 1, 2025 and is expected to continue through January 2028. Through March 31, 2025,
Tidewater has spent $1.8 million, which is included in Regulatory Assets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In August 2024, Tidewater filed an application with
the DEPSC to increase its general rates for water service. In the application, Tidewater seeks an overall increase in annual operating
revenue of $10.3 million or 25.66% over current revenue. The request for rate increases will allow Tidewater to recover prudently incurred
investments made in the last ten years to support continued regulatory compliance, enhance water quality, service reliability, security
and resiliency of the water utility infrastructure assets. Effective October 30, 2024, Tidewater received approval of the DEPSC to suspend
its DSIC rate and implement an interim rate increase, which is expected to result in approximately $2.5 million of annual revenues, subject
to refund pending the outcome of the rate case application.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Southern Shores &lt;/b&gt;&#x2013; Southern Shores provides
water service to a 2,200 unit condominium community in Sussex County, Delaware under a DEPSC-approved agreement expiring December 31,
2029.&#160; Under the agreement, rates are increased when there are unanticipated capital expenditures or regulatory related changes in
operating expenses exceed certain thresholds. In 2024, capital expenditures did exceed the established threshold. In addition, rates are
increased annually by the lesser of the regional Consumer Price Index or 3%. Effective January 1, 2025, Southern Shores rates were increased
$0.1 million or 6.51%.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:PublicUtilitiesDisclosureTextBlock>

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Common Stock&lt;/b&gt; &#x2013; During the three months
ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 4,228 common shares (approximately $0.2 million) and 4,775 common shares (approximately $0.3
million) respectively, issued under the Middlesex Water Company Investment Plan.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Middlesex has received approval from the NJBPU to
issue and sell up to 1.0 million shares of its common stock, without par value, through December 31, 2025. Sales of additional shares
of common stock are part of the Company&#x2019;s comprehensive financing plan to fund its multi-year utility plant infrastructure investment
program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Long-term Debt &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; Subject to regulatory
approval, the Company periodically issues long-term debt to fund its investments in utility plant. To the extent possible and fiscally
prudent, the Company finances qualifying capital projects under State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan programs in New Jersey and Delaware. These
government programs provide financing at interest rates typically below rates available in the broader financial markets. A portion of
the borrowings under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Middlesex has received approval from the NJBPU to
borrow up to $300.0 million from the New Jersey SRF Program, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, private placement and other
financial institutions as needed through December 31, 2025. The Company expects to issue debt securities in a series of one or more transaction
offerings over a multi-year period to help fund Middlesex&#x2019;s multi-year capital construction program.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In September 2024, Tidewater closed on a $2.2 million
Delaware SRF loan with a 0.0% interest rate with maturity dates in 2044. This loan is for costs associated with Tidewater&#x2019;s obligation,
as required by federal law and Delaware regulations, to identify and inventory lead service lines throughout Tidewater&#x2019;s service
area. Tidewater has drawn down $1.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and expects that the requisitions will continue through the fourth quarter
of 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In May 2024, Tidewater closed on four Delaware SRF
loans totaling $5.6 million, all at interest rates of 2.0% with maturity dates in 2044. These loans are for the construction, relocation,
improvement, and/or interconnection of transmission mains and construction of a water treatment facility. Tidewater has drawn down less
than $0.1 million on these loans as of March 31, 2025. Each project has its own construction timetable with the last spending set to occur
in 2027.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Separately, Tidewater has two active construction
projects funded by prior year Delaware SRF loans totaling $8.3 million with remaining availability of funds for borrowing. These loans
are for the construction of a one million gallon elevated storage tank and construction, relocation, improvement, and interconnection
of transmission mains. Tidewater has drawn a total of $4.9 million through March 31, 2025 and expects that the requisitions will continue
through the fourth quarter of 2025.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fair Value of Financial Instruments &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt;
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments for which
it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term maturities
of these instruments. The fair value of First Mortgage Bonds (FMBs) and SRF Bonds (collectively, the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based
on quoted market prices for similar issues. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified
as a Level 1 measurement and the fair value of notes payable and the FMBs in the table below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The
carrying amount and fair value of the FMBs were as follows:&lt;/p&gt;

on our outstanding long-term debt for which there is no quoted market price and there is not an active trading market. For details, including
carrying value, interest rates and due dates on these series of long-term debt, please refer to those series noted as &#x201c;Amortizing
Secured Notes&#x201d; and &#x201c;State Revolving Trust Notes&#x201d; on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Capital Stock and Long-Term
Debt. The carrying amount of these instruments was $229.0 million and $229.8 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Advances for construction have carrying amounts of $22.7 million and $22.6 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Their relative fair values cannot be accurately estimated since future refund payments depend on several variables, including new customer
connections, customer consumption levels and future rate increases.&lt;/p&gt;

aligning with the Company&#x2019;s strategic objectives and regulatory obligations.&#160;The CODM reviews budget-to-actual variances on
a monthly, quarterly and year to-date basis and makes interim decisions to reallocate resources among segments as needed, ensuring a timely
and effective response to changing conditions. For the regulated segment, the CODM uses this assessment to determine whether the segment
is achieving its regulatory authorized rate of return.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The segments follow the same accounting policies as
described in Note 1 &#x2013; Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Developments of the 2024 Form 10-K. Segment
profit or loss is based on Net Income. Expenses used to determine operating income before taxes are charged directly to each segment or
are allocated based on the applicable cost allocation factors. Assets allocated to each segment are based upon specific identification
of such assets provided by Company records. The effects of all intra-segment and/or intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company has identified two reportable segments.
One is the regulated business of collecting, treating and distributing water on a retail and wholesale basis to residential, commercial,
industrial and fire protection customers in parts of New Jersey and Delaware and includes Middlesex, Tidewater, Pinelands Water and Southern
Shores. This segment also includes a regulated wastewater system in New Jersey, Pinelands Wastewater. The Company is subject to regulations
as to its rates, services and other matters by the states of New Jersey and Delaware with respect to utility service within these states.
The other segment is primarily comprised of non-regulated contract services for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private
water and wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware and includes USA, USA-PA, and White Marsh.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; border-spacing: 0px;"&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The interest rates are set for borrowings under the
Bank of America and PNC Bank lines of credit using the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and then adding a specific financial institution
credit spread. The interest rate for borrowings under the CoBank, ACB (CoBank) line of credit are set weekly using CoBank&#x2019;s internal

arrangement is a lease at inception. Generally, a lease agreement exists if the Company determines that the arrangement gives the Company
control over the use of an identified asset and obtains substantially all of the benefits from the identified asset.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The right-of-use (ROU) asset recorded represents the
Company&#x2019;s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company&#x2019;s obligation to make
lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value
of lease payments over the lease term. The Company&#x2019;s operating lease does not provide an implicit discount rate and as such the
Company used an estimated incremental borrowing rate (4.03%) based on the information available at the commencement date in determining
the present value of lease payments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Given the impacts of accounting for regulated operations,
and the resulting recognition of expense at the amounts recovered in customer rates, expenditures for operating leases are consistent
with lease expense and were $0.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

Company&#x2019;s planned capital expenditures, the Company has entered into several contractual construction agreements that total obligate

in the heavily-regulated water and wastewater industries, the Company is routinely involved in disputes, claims, lawsuits and other regulatory

financial position, results of operations or cash flows.&#160;In addition, the Company maintains business insurance coverage that may
mitigate the effect of any current or future loss contingencies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s regulated revenue results from
tariff-based water and wastewater services to residential, industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers. Residential
customers are billed quarterly while most industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers are billed monthly. Payments
by customers are due between 15 and 30 days after the invoice date. Revenue is recognized as the water and wastewater services are delivered
to customers which includes an accrual of unbilled revenues estimated from the last meter reading date to the end of the accounting period
utilizing factors such as historical customer data and regional weather indicators. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include
fixed service charge billings in advance to Tidewater customers recognized as service is provided to the customer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 6pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Non-regulated service contract revenues consist of
base service fees, as well as fees for additional billable services provided to customers. Fees are billed monthly and are due within
30 days after the invoice date. The Company considers the amounts billed to represent the value of these services provided to customers.
These contracts expire at various times through June 2032 and contain remaining performance obligations for which the Company expects
to recognize revenue in the future. These contracts also contain termination provisions.&lt;/p&gt;
