Wilkerson and Son, Inc. and transfer the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity in order for Tidewater&#13;to serve the approximate 1,000 customers currently connected to eight community water systems located mostly in eastern Sussex&#13;County, Delaware.

The Company elected the optional transition method of adoption option to apply the requirements&#13;of the standard in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior periods. The Company utilized the package of transition&#13;practical expedients provided by the new guidance, including carrying forward prior conclusions related to contracts that contain&#13;leases and lease classification. The Company also utilized the transition practical expedient permitting entities to forgo the&#13;evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to determine if they contain a lease. Land easement arrangements, or modifications&#13;to existing arrangements, entered into after adoption of this guidance will need to be evaluated to determine if they meet the&#13;definition of a lease. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the recording of a $6.7 million right-of-use asset, a $7.1 million&#13;lease liability and a $0.4 million regulatory asset on the Company&amp;#8217;s consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019.

A PWAC is a rate mechanism that allows for recovery of increased purchased&#13;water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset to zero once those increased costs are included in base rates. The&#13;PWAC tariff rate became effective on January 1, 2019.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tidewater - &lt;/b&gt;Effective July 1, 2019,&#13;Tidewater reset its DEPSC approved Distribution System Improvement Charge rate, which is expected to generate revenues of approximately&#13;$0.5 million annually.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;In&#13;February 2019, Tidewater received approval from the DEPSC to reduce its rates, effective March 1, 2019, to reflect the lower corporate&#13;income tax rate enacted by the &lt;/font&gt;Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Tax Act)&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;,&#13;resulting in an overall rate decrease of 3.35%, or $1.0 million of revenues, on an annual basis. The DEPSC also approved a one-time&#13;credit of $0.7 million to customers&amp;#8217; accounts related to the lower corporate income tax rate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pinelands - &lt;/b&gt;On October 25, 2019, Pinelands&#13;Water and Pinelands Wastewater concluded their base rate case matters when the NJBPU approved a $0.5 million increase in annual&#13;base rates, effective November 4, 2019. In March 2019, Pinelands Water and Pinelands Wastewater had filed petitions with the NJBPU&#13;seeking permission to increase base rates by approximately $0.7 million per year. The requests were necessitated by capital infrastructure&#13;investments both companies had made, and increased operations and maintenance costs.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Twin Lakes - &lt;/b&gt;In July 2019, Twin Lakes&#13;filed a petition with the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC) seeking permission to increase base rates by approximately&#13;$0.2 million per year. This request was necessitated by capital infrastructure investments Twin Lakes has made and increased operations&#13;and maintenance costs. We cannot predict whether the PAPUC will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce the amount of the request.&#13;A decision by the PAPUC is not expected before the first quarter of 2020.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:PublicUtilitiesDisclosureTextBlock>

The adoption resulted in a net reduction of $17.6 million&#13;in taxes previously remitted to the IRS, for which the Company has already sought and received the tax refunds. A reserve provision&#13;against refunded taxes of $2.3 million was recorded in 2015 at the time of filing its change in accounting method based on a possible&#13;challenge by the IRS during an audit examination. The Company&amp;#8217;s 2014 federal income tax return was subsequently selected&#13;for examination by the IRS. In 2018, the Company increased its income tax reserve provision to $4.1 million. During the first quarter&#13;of 2019, the Company agreed to certain modifications of its accounting method for expenditures that qualify as deductible repairs&#13;and the IRS concluded its audit of the Company&amp;#8217;s 2014 federal income tax return. The modifications also impacted the Company&amp;#8217;s&#13;filed 2015, 2016 and 2017 federal income tax returns. In March 2019 and June 2019, the Company paid $0.8 million in income taxes&#13;and $0.1 million in interest, respectively, in connection with the conclusion and closing of the 2014 and 2015 tax return audits.&#13;As of September 30, 2019, the Company has reduced its income tax reserve provision and interest expense liability to $2.4 million&#13;and $0.1 million, respectively. In October 2019, the Company paid $1.9 million in income taxes in connection with the conclusion&#13;and closing of the 2016 and 2017 tax return audits.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:IncomeTaxDisclosureTextBlock>

On January 2, 2019, the Company&#13;began offering shares of its common stock for purchase at a 5% discount to participants in the Investment Plan. In August 2019,&#13;the 200,000 share purchase limit established for the 5% discount program was reached and the program was concluded.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In September 2019, the Company determined it&#13;had inadvertently sold shares of its common stock through the Investment Plan from August 1, 2018 through September 3, 2019 (Eligible&#13;Period) after the registration statement covering sales through the Investment Plan had expired and therefore was no longer effective.&#13;Under applicable federal securities laws, participants in the Investment Plan who purchased shares of common stock have a right&#13;to rescind their Eligible Period purchases and require the Company to repurchase these shares for an amount equal to the price&#13;paid by the participant, less any dividends paid on the purchased shares, plus interest.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In October 2019, the Company&amp;#8217;s Board&#13;of Directors approved a plan to voluntarily offer a right of rescission (Rescission Offer) to Investment Plan participants who&#13;purchased shares of the Company&amp;#8217;s common stock during the Eligible Period.

By filing&#13;the Prospectus Supplement the 232,643 previously unregistered shares are deemed registered. Investment Plan participants have thirty&#13;(30) days from the notification date to decide to accept or reject the Rescission Offer. Based on the current market price of the&#13;Company&amp;#8217;s common stock, the Company does not expect that the exercise of any applicable rescission rights under the Rescission&#13;Offer by participants will have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;For the nine months ended September 30, 2019,&#13;3,000 shares (approximately $0.3 million) of the Company&amp;#8217;s no par $8.00 Series Cumulative and Convertible Preferred Stock&#13;were converted into 41,142 shares of common stock.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In May 2019, Middlesex received approval from&#13;the NJBPU to issue and sell up to 1,500,000 shares of its common stock in one or more transactions through December 31, 2022. Sales&#13;of additional shares of common stock are part of the Company&amp;#8217;s comprehensive financing plan to fund its multi-year utility&#13;plant infrastructure investment program. As described below in &amp;#8220;&lt;i&gt;Long-term Debt&amp;#8221;&lt;/i&gt;, the NJBPU approved the New&#13;Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) debt funding component of the financing plan.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Long-term Debt - &lt;/b&gt;Subject to regulatory&#13;approval, the Company periodically issues long-term debt to fund its investments in utility plant and other assets. To the extent&#13;possible, the Company finances qualifying capital projects under State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan programs in New Jersey and Delaware.&#13;These government programs provide financing at interest rates that are typically below rates available in the broader financial&#13;markets. A portion of the borrowings under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free. Under the New Jersey SRF program, borrowers first&#13;enter into a construction loan agreement with the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) at a below market interest rate. The current&#13;interest rate on construction loan borrowings is zero percent (0%). When construction on the qualifying project is substantially&#13;complete, NJIB will coordinate the conversion of the construction loan into a long-term securitized loan with a portion of the&#13;principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent (0%) and a portion of the principal balance at a market interest&#13;rate at the time of closing using the credit rating of the State of New Jersey. The current term of the long-term loans offered&#13;through the NJIB is up to thirty years. The current portion of the principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent&#13;(0%) is 75% with the remaining portion of 25% having a market based interest rate.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;The NJIB generally schedules its long-term debt financings in May&#13;and November.

Middlesex closed on a $43.5 million NJIB interest-free construction loan in August 2018. Through September&#13;30, 2019, Middlesex has drawn a total of $30.2 million and expects to draw down the remaining proceeds through the first quarter&#13;of 2020.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;&lt;td style="width: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="width: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;2)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;In March 2018, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&amp;#8217;s request to participate in the NJIB loan program&#13;to fund the 2018 RENEW Program, which is an ongoing initiative to eliminate all unlined water distribution mains in the Middlesex&#13;system. Middlesex closed on an $8.7 million NJIB construction loan in September 2018.

The interest rate on the Series 2018A bond is zero and the interest rate&#13;on the Series 2018B bond ranges between 3.0% and 5.0%. The final maturity date for both bonds is August 1, 2047, with scheduled&#13;debt service payments over the life of the loans.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In 2019, the NJIB de-obligated principal payments&#13;of $0.1 million on Series NN of the Company&amp;#8217;s First Mortgage Bonds.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In order to help ensure adherence to its comprehensive&#13;financing plan, Middlesex received approval from the NJBPU in February 2019 to issue and sell up to $140 million of First Mortgage&#13;Bonds (FMB) through the NJEDA in one or more transactions through December 31, 2022. Because the interest paid to the bondholders&#13;is exempt from federal and New Jersey income taxes, the interest rate on debt issued through the NJEDA is generally lower than&#13;otherwise achievable in the traditional taxable corporate bond market. However, the interest received by the bondholder is subject&#13;to the Alternative Minimum Tax.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In August 2019, Middlesex priced and closed&#13;on a NJEDA debt financing transaction of $53.7 million by issuing FMBs designated as Series 2019A ($32.5 million at coupon interest&#13;rate of 4.0%) and Series 2019B ($21.2 million at coupon interest rate of 5.0%). The proceeds, including an issuance premium of&#13;$7.1 million, are being used to finance several projects under the Water For Tomorrow capital program initiated by the Company&#13;to upgrade and replace aging water utility infrastructure. The total proceeds of $60.8 million, initially recorded as Restricted&#13;Cash on the balance sheet, is held in escrow by a bond trustee and are drawn down by requisition for the qualifying projects. Through&#13;September 30, 2019, Middlesex has drawn a total of $7.6 million and currently expects to draw the remaining $53.2 million of proceeds,&#13;currently included in Restricted Cash, through the third quarter of 2021.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In March 2018, the DEPSC approved Tidewater&amp;#8217;s&#13;request to borrow up to $0.9 million under the Delaware SRF program to fund the replacement of an entire water distribution system&#13;of a small Delaware community. Tidewater closed on the SRF loan in May 2018. In April 2019, Tidewater received approval from the&#13;DEPSC to increase the borrowing to $1.7 million based on revised project cost estimates. Tidewater closed on the additional SRF&#13;loan in October 2019 and immediately began drawing on the combined loan amount with expected draws continuing through the first&#13;quarter of 2020.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fair Value of Financial Instruments -&lt;/b&gt;&#13;The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments&#13;for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets&#13;for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their respective fair values due&#13;to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

This segment also includes regulated&#13;wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware.&amp;#160;The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters&#13;by New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania with respect to utility services within these states. The other segment is primarily comprised&#13;of non-regulated contract services for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater systems in New&#13;Jersey and Delaware.&amp;#160;Inter-segment transactions relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance&#13;charges on inter-segment loan activities are based on interest rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third party&#13;lender.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

(AWM), an unaffiliated wastewater contractor, to operate a County-owned leachate pretreatment facility at the Monmouth County&#13;Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The performance guaranty is effective through 2028 unless another guarantor, acceptable&#13;to the County, replaces Middlesex before such date. Under agreements with AWM and Natural Systems Utilities, LLC (NSU), the parent&#13;company of AWM, Middlesex earns a fee for providing the performance guaranty. In addition, Middlesex may provide operational support&#13;to the facility, as needed, and AWM and NSU, serving as guarantor to Middlesex with respect to the performance of AWM, have indemnified&#13;Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to the County.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;If required to perform&#13;under the guaranty to the County and, if AWM and NSU, as guarantor to Middlesex, do not fulfill their obligations to indemnify&#13;Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to the County, Middlesex would be required to fulfill&#13;the remaining operational commitment of AWM. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the liability recognized in Other&#13;Non-Current Liabilities on the balance sheet for the guaranty is approximately $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leases&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;- &lt;/i&gt;The Company determines&#13;if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the&#13;present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company&amp;#8217;s operating lease does not provide an implicit discount&#13;rate and as such the Company used an estimated incremental borrowing rate (4.03%) based on the information available at commencement&#13;date in determining the present value of lease payments.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control&#13;of a promised good or service is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects&#13;to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company&amp;#8217;s regulated revenue from&#13;contracts with customers is derived from tariff-based sales that result from the obligation to provide water and wastewater services&#13;to residential, industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers. The Company&amp;#8217;s residential customers are&#13;billed quarterly while most of the Company&amp;#8217;s industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers are billed monthly.&#13;Payments by customers are due between 15 and 30 days after the invoice date. The Company recognizes revenue as the water and wastewater&#13;services are delivered to customers and records unbilled revenues estimated from the last meter reading date to the end of the&#13;accounting period utilizing factors such as historical customer data, regional weather indicators and general economic conditions&#13;in its service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings in advance of service&#13;provided to Tidewater customers and are recognized as service is provided.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 146.25pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Non-regulated service contract revenues consist&#13;of base service fees, as well as fees for additional billable services provided to customers, are billed monthly and are due within&#13;30 days after the invoice date. The Company considers the amounts billed to represent the value of these services provided to customers.&#13;Certain of these contracts continue through 2022 and thus contain remaining performance obligations for which the Company expects&#13;to recognize revenue in the future. These contracts also contain termination provisions.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Substantially all operating revenues and accounts&#13;receivable are from contracts with customers.
