 Dear Fellow Shareholder:
There has been a great deal of attention in recent years on the 
state of our country’s aging infrastructure. Numerous media 
references to “infrastructure” portend apocalyptic failures of 
assets, signifi cantly impacting American life. It is true there is a 
multitude of data to support the view that much of our nation’s 
infrastructure is in critical need of upgrade or replacement. 
In light of this growing national focus on aging and failing 
infrastructure, I would like to put these perceptions into 
perspective, as they relate to the opportunities and challenges 
of Middlesex Water Company.

Dennis W. Doll
Chairman, President 
and Chief Executive Offi cer

Much of the media attention regarding infrastructure is focused on public assets such as roads, 
bridges and other highly-visible above-ground structures that are both seen and used by millions 
of people in their everyday lives. Infrastructure of all types, however, is often characterized in a 
general sense as failing and in desperate need of rehabilitation. It is therefore only natural that utility 
customers and the public at-large would assume the water and/or wastewater utility infrastructure of 
their local service provider is in no better a state of repair than what is seen and heard in the media. 
So why is any of this relevant to the past and future performance of your company? The simple 
answer is that the state of the water and wastewater infrastructure at Middlesex Water Company 
is not characteristic of the larger national negative perceptions pervading the media. Your team of 
water and wastewater professionals at Middlesex Water Company has been diligent over many 
decades upgrading and replacing infrastructure on a timetable, and at a cost that adequately 
balances the frequently competing objectives of customers for low rates and shareholders for 
adequate returns on invested capital. These long-standing efforts enable me to claim with 
confi dence that your company continues to appropriately manage the operational and fi nancial 
risks and opportunities associated with our water and wastewater utility infrastructure.

The Middlesex Story
As a water and wastewater utility in business since 
1897, Middlesex Water Company owns and manages a 
large amount of utility infrastructure, including nearly 
1,600 miles of underground pipe. The Company has 
implemented robust, formal Asset and Enterprise 
Risk Management Programs over the past decade 
building upon the work of leaders before us who were 
equally diligent about maintaining utility service. They 
made prudent decisions regarding asset upgrades 
and replacements year-in-and year-out. Today, our 
customers and shareholders are the benefi ciaries 
of those responsible engineering, operational and 
management decisions that were applied over many 
years. Your current management’s extension of 
that rich history simply applies that philosophy in a 
manner necessary to meet the evolving expectations 
of regulators and customers. Our Company and our 
industry continue to adopt new technologies, innovate 
and increase the rigor with which we measure and 
benchmark operational and fi nancial success.

A key element of our various programs is a rigorous 
risk-based approach to infrastructure upgrade and 
replacement. Our policies, procedures and processes 
continue to strike an appropriate balance between 
mitigating short-term operational and fi nancial risks 
to our customers and shareholders, and investing 
for the long-term to sustain quality service for the 
next generation.

The Pros and Cons of Prudent 
Infrastructure Investment
All of this is a combination of both good and bad news 
for customers and shareholders. The good news for 
customers is they do not need to be overly concerned 
about how effectively their water and wastewater 
service is being delivered. They can manage their busy 
lives without the need to give excessive thought to the 
safety and reliability of the systems that deliver their 
service. This is not to suggest that service could never 
be interrupted. Water main breaks in particular are a 
common occurrence in large distribution systems. They 
are often caused by factors such as weather, which 
cannot necessarily be correlated to the age or condition 
of the pipe. Additionally, recent events regarding lead 
contamination in the Midwest clearly highlight the 
critical importance of strict attention to water quality 
and the consequences of failure.

Prudent infrastructure investment comes at a cost 
to customers and puts upward pressure on the rates 
they pay for service. As prudently as customers may 
believe their service is being managed, and their user 
fees are being invested, no one wants to pay more. A 
common misperception among customers is that water 
and wastewater systems that routinely increase their 
rates are not being managed effectively. Conversely, 
systems that have not increased customers’ rates over 
many years, whether municipal or investor-owned, 
are sometimes perceived as being managed more 
effectively. Neither of these perceptions is accurate 
without a deep understanding of the underlying 
investment needs, asset management programs, risk 
management programs and operational and fi nancial 
profi les of the respective systems. It is our challenge 
as a provider of utility services, and as an industry, to 
dispel these perceptions and to educate our customers 
about the true cost and quality of their service, and to 
appropriately justify our investment decisions.

For our shareholders, prudent investment in utility 
infrastructure provides an opportunity to earn a fair 
return on the capital you entrust to us. Despite this 
signifi cant investment opportunity, the ratemaking 
process requires that the fees customers are asked to pay 
are understandably challenged by regulators and other 
constituency groups. This dynamic rightfully requires us to 
continually seek opportunities to reduce operating costs to 
facilitate utility infrastructure investments without undue 
upward pressure on customers’ rates. As an example, 
for every dollar of sustained savings in operating 
costs we can invest approximately six dollars in utility 
infrastructure, without increasing customers’ rates. The 
ability to effectively navigate the ratemaking process and 
adequately balance the needs of customers for affordable 
rates and shareholders for reasonable returns is a critical 
skill that your management team applies rigorously. Your 
team at Middlesex Water Company maintains respectful 
and productive relationships with all of our environmental 
and fi nancial regulators, and we work diligently to meet 
the respective needs of both customers and shareholders. 

2015 HIGHLIGHTS 

A number of signifi cant infrastructure investments have been made in 2015. 
All of them were made in conjunction with our Asset Management and 
Enterprise Risk Management programs. Some of the highlights are as follows:

Utilizing GIS as well as operational and maintenance data, hydraulic 
modeling, inspections and fi eld samples, we prioritized the replacement 
of six air release valves spaced throughout four miles of an inportant 48” 
transmission main in New Jersey. All six valves were replaced in a round-
the-clock effort over 36 hours, with no disruption of service to customers. 
This proactive infrastructure enhancement helped reduce the probability 
of disruption on this major water transmission artery.

As part of the company’s ongoing asset management initiative, 
we replaced 800 feet of 20” transmission mains in several key 
locations throughout the New Jersey distribution system. This project 
removed pipe with historically high failure rates and replaced it with 
new structurally-sound pipeline materials.

We replaced approximately 11,500 feet of distribution mains 
throughout our New Jersey and Delaware systems to address 
aging infrastructure needs.

We improved reliability/redundancy in various locations to mitigate 
the impact of extreme weather and other uncontrollable events. 
Certain projects included upgrades at emergency interconnections 
and backup power generation enhancements.

In response to newly determined fi re protection and water supply 
needs, we constructed 0.4 million gallon elevated storage tank 
in our Delaware system.

In order to increase the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition 
(SCADA) capability of the company, we improved remote monitoring 
capability at various well sites and pump stations.

We upgraded certain operational and administrative
support technology applications to better serve our customers.

Crews maintain 
nearly 4,800 
fi re hydrants 
throughout the 
Middlesex system 
in New Jersey 
on an ongoing basis.

Investments were 
made in backup power 
generation at 
key facilities as part of 
the company’s storm 
aftermath action plan.  
Trained mechanics 
maintain this electrical 
equipment to ensure 
service reliability.

In 2016, there are numerous short-and long-term 
projects in progress that include: 1) upgrades at water 
treatment plants, 2) accelerated replacement of water 
mains, 3) water treatment residuals processing, 
4) expanded storage capacity, 5) booster station 
upgrades, 6) disinfection byproducts remediation, and 
7) further improvements in backup power generation. 

Beyond the company’s comprehensive focus on 
infrastructure needs, a variety of other events and 
initiatives contributed to our overall performance 
in 2015 as well. Some of these included: 1) award in 
August of an increase in annual operating revenues 
of $5 million from our New Jersey regulators, 
2) an expanded contract for sales of water to the 
City of Rahway, New Jersey, 3) various awards for 
corporate governance, environmental stewardship 
and community support, and 4) a 3.25% increase in 
the common stock dividend.

We are energized by the opportunity to continue 
to provide quality service for our customers and 
continually improving value for you, our loyal 
shareholders. We greatly appreciate your ongoing 
support of the company and the industry.

Middlesex System  

The Middlesex System in New Jersey provides water services to approximately 61,000 retail customers, primarily 
in eastern Middlesex County, New Jersey and provides water under wholesale contracts to the City of Rahway, 
Townships  of  Edison  and  Marlboro,  the  Borough  of  Highland  Park  and  the  Old  Bridge  Municipal  Utilities 
Authority. The Middlesex  System  treats, stores  and  distributes  water for  residential, commercial, industrial and 
fire  protection  purposes.  The  Middlesex  System  also  provides  water  treatment  and  pumping  services  to  the 
Township of East Brunswick under contract.  The Middlesex System produced approximately 59% of our 2015 
consolidated operating revenues.   

The Middlesex System’s retail customers are located in an area of approximately 55 square miles in Woodbridge 
Township, the City of South Amboy, the Boroughs of Metuchen and Carteret, portions of the Township of Edison 
and the Borough of South Plainfield in Middlesex County and, to a minor extent, a portion of the Township of 
Clark  in  Union  County.  Retail  customers  include  a  mix  of  residential  customers,  large  industrial  concerns  and 
commercial  and  light  industrial  facilities.  These  customers  are  located  in  generally  well-developed  areas  of 
central New Jersey.  

The  contract  customers  of  the  Middlesex  System  comprise  an  area  of  approximately  110  square  miles  with  a 
population  of  approximately  219,000.  Contract  sales  to  Edison,  Old  Bridge,  Marlboro  and  Rahway  are 
supplemental to the existing water systems of these customers. Middlesex is the sole source of water for Highland 
Park and East Brunswick. 

Middlesex  provides  water  service  to  approximately  300  customers  in  Cumberland  County,  New  Jersey.    This 
system  is  referred  to  as  Bayview,  and  is  not  physically  interconnected  with  the  Middlesex  System.  Bayview 
produced less than 1% of our 2015 consolidated operating revenues. 

Tidewater System  

Tidewater, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Shores, provides water services to approximately 
42,000 retail customers for residential, commercial and fire protection purposes in over 375 separate communities 
in  New  Castle,  Kent  and  Sussex  Counties,  Delaware.  White  Marsh  is  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Tidewater 

2 

 
 
 
 
  
  
 
 
 
 
  
that  is  unregulated  as  to  rates  and  operates  over  40  water  and  wastewater  systems  under  contracts  that  serve 
approximately  4,000  residential  customers.  White  Marsh  owns  two  commercial  properties  that  are  leased  to 
Tidewater  as  its  administrative  office  campus  and  its  field  operations  center.  The  Tidewater  System  produced 
approximately 27% of our 2015 consolidated operating revenues. 

Utility Service Affiliates-Perth Amboy  

USA-PA operates the City of Perth Amboy, New Jersey’s (Perth Amboy) water and wastewater systems under a 
20-year agreement, which expires in 2018.  USA-PA serves approximately 11,500 homes and businesses, most of 
which are served by both the water and wastewater systems. Under the agreement, USA-PA receives fixed fees, 
and may receive variable fees, based on customer revenue growth.   Fixed fee revenues increase over the term of 
the  20-year  contract  based  upon  a  schedule  of  rates.  USA-PA  produced  approximately  9%  of  our  2015 
consolidated operating revenues. 

In  connection  with  the  agreement  with  Perth  Amboy,  USA-PA  entered  into  a  20-year  subcontract  with  a 
wastewater  operating  company  for  the  operation  and  maintenance  of  the  Perth  Amboy  wastewater  collection 
system. The subcontract provides for the sharing of certain fixed and variable fees and operating expenses.  

Pinelands System  

Pinelands Water provides water services to approximately 2,500 residential customers in Burlington County, New 
Jersey. Pinelands Water produced less than 1% of our 2015 consolidated operating revenues. Pinelands Water is 
not physically interconnected with the Middlesex System.  

Pinelands  Wastewater  provides  wastewater  services  to  approximately  2,500  residential  customers.  Under 
contract, it also services one municipal wastewater system in Burlington County, New Jersey with approximately 
200 residential customers.  Pinelands Wastewater produced approximately 1% of our 2015 consolidated operating 
revenues. 

Utility Service Affiliates, Inc.  

USA operates the Borough of Avalon, New Jersey’s (Avalon) water utility, sewer utility and storm water system 
under a ten-year operations and maintenance contract expiring in 2022. USA serves approximately 6,100 Avalon 
homes  and  businesses,  most  of  which  are  served  by  both  the  water  and  wastewater  systems.    In  addition  to 
performing  day  to  day  operations,  USA  is  responsible  for  billing,  collections,  customer  service,  emergency 
responses and management of capital projects funded by Avalon. 

USA  also  provides  unregulated  water  and  wastewater  services  under  contract  with  several  New  Jersey 
municipalities. 

Under  a  marketing  agreement  with  HomeServe  USA  (HomeServe),  USA  offers  residential  customers  in  New 
Jersey  and  Delaware  a  menu  of  water  and  wastewater  related  home  maintenance  programs.  HomeServe  is  a 
leading provider of such home maintenance service programs.  USA receives a service fee for the billing, cash 
collection and other administrative matters associated with HomeServe’s service contracts. The agreement expires 
in 2021. 

USA produced approximately 2% of our 2015 consolidated operating revenues. 

TESI System

Water Supplies and Contracts  

Our  New  Jersey,  Delaware  and  Pennsylvania  water  supply  systems  are  physically  separate  and  are  not 
interconnected.  In  New  Jersey,  the  Pinelands  System  and  Bayview  System  are  not  interconnected  with  the 
Middlesex System or each other. We believe that we have adequate sources of water supply to meet the current 
service requirements of our present customers in New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania.  

Middlesex System  

Our Middlesex System, which produced approximately 14.4 billion gallons in 2015, obtains water from surface 
sources and wells, or groundwater sources. In 2015, surface sources of water provided approximately 72% of the 
Middlesex  System’s  water  supply,  groundwater  sources  provided  approximately  21%  from  31  wells  and  the 
balance was purchased from a non-affiliated water utility. Middlesex System’s distribution storage facilities are 
used to supply water to customers at times of peak demand, outages and emergencies.  

The principal source of surface water for the Middlesex System is the Delaware & Raritan Canal, which is owned 
by  the  State  of  New  Jersey  and  operated  as  a  water  resource  by  the  New  Jersey  Water  Supply  Authority 
(NJWSA).  Middlesex is under a contract with the NJWSA, which expires November 30, 2023, and provides for 
average purchases of 27.0 million gallons per day (mgd) of untreated water from the Delaware & Raritan Canal, 
augmented  by  the  Round  Valley/Spruce  Run  Reservoir  System.  The  untreated  surface  water  is  pumped  to  and 
treated at the Middlesex Carl J. Olsen (CJO) Water Treatment Plant. Middlesex also has an agreement with a non-

4 

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
 
affiliated  regulated  water  utility  for  the  purchase  of  treated  water.  This  agreement,  which  expires  February  27, 
2021, provides for minimum purchase of 3.0 mgd of treated water with provisions for additional purchases.   

Tidewater System  

Our Tidewater System produced approximately 2.1 billion gallons in 2015 from 163 wells. Tidewater will submit 
applications to Delaware regulatory authorities for the approval of additional wells as growth, demand and water 
quality warrant. Tidewater augments its water production with annual minimum purchases of 15.0 million gallons 
of  treated  water  under  contract  with  the  City  of  Dover,  Delaware.  Tidewater  does  not  have  a  central  water 
treatment  facility  for  the  375  separate  communities  it  serves.  As  the  number  has  grown,  many  of  Tidewater’s 
individual systems have been interconnected forming several regional systems that are served by multiple water 
treatment facilities.  

Pinelands Water System  

Water  supply  to  our  Pinelands  Water  System  is  derived  from  four  wells  which  produced  approximately  151.9 
million gallons in 2015. The pumping capacity of the four wells is 2.2 mgd.  

Pinelands Wastewater System  

The  Pinelands  Wastewater  System  discharges  into  the  South  Branch  of  the  Rancocas  Creek  through  a  tertiary 
treatment  plant  that  provides  clarification,  sedimentation,  filtration  and  disinfection.  The  total  capacity  of  the 
plant is 0.5 mgd, and the system treated approximately 102.0 million gallons in 2015.  

Bayview System  

Water supply to Bayview customers is derived from two wells, which produced approximately 7.3 million gallons 
in 2015.   

TESI System  

The TESI System is  comprised  of eight wastewater treatment systems in  Kent  and  Sussex  Counties, Delaware. 
The treatment plants provide clarification, sedimentation, and disinfection. The combined total treatment capacity 
of the plants is 0.7 mgd. The TESI System treated approximately 107.1 million gallons in 2015. 

Twin Lakes System 

Water  supply  to  Twin  Lakes’  customers  is  derived  from  one  well,  which  produced  approximately  19.8  million 
gallons in 2015. 

Employees  

As  of  December  31,  2015,  we  had  a  total  of  293  employees.  No  employees  are  represented  by  a  union.  We 
believe  our  employee  relations  are  positive.  Wages  and  benefits  are  reviewed  annually  and  are  considered 
competitive within both the industry and the regions where we operate.  

Competition  

Our  business  in  our  franchised  service  areas  is  substantially  free  from  direct  competition  with  other  public 
utilities, municipalities and other entities. However, our ability to provide contract water supply and wastewater 
services  and  operations  and  maintenance  services  that  are  not  under  the  jurisdiction  of  a  state  public  utility 
commission  is  subject  to  competition  from  other  public  utilities,  municipalities  and  other  entities.  Although 
Tidewater  and  TESI  have  been  granted  exclusive  franchises  for  each  of  their  existing  community  water  and 
wastewater  systems,  their  ability  to  expand  service  areas  can  be  affected  by  the  Delaware  Public  Service 
Commission  awarding  franchises  to  other  regulated  water  and  wastewater  utilities  with  whom  we  compete  for 
such franchises and for projects.

Regulation  

Our  rates  charged  to  customers  for  water  and  wastewater  services,  the  quality  of  the  services  we  provide  and 
certain  other  matters  are  regulated  by  the  following  state  utility  commissions  (collectively,  the  Utility 
Commissions): 

(cid:120)  New Jersey-New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) 
(cid:120)  Delaware-Delaware Public Service Commission (DEPSC)  
(cid:120)  Pennsylvania-Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC) 

Our USA, USA-PA and White Marsh subsidiaries are not regulated public utilities. However, they are subject to 
environmental regulation with respect to water quality and wastewater effluent quality to the extent such services 
are provided. 

We are subject to environmental and water quality regulation by the following regulatory agencies (collectively, 
the Government Environmental Regulatory Agencies): 

(cid:120)  United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
(cid:120)  New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) with respect to operations in New Jersey  
(cid:120)  Delaware  Department  of  Natural  Resources  and  Environmental  Control,  the  Delaware  Department  of 
Health  and  Social  Services-Division  of  Public  Health  (DEDPH),  and  the  Delaware  River  Basin 
Commission (DRBC) with respect to operations in Delaware 

(cid:120)  Pennsylvania  Department  of  Environmental  Protection  (PADEP)  with  respect  to  operations  in 

Pennsylvania 

In  addition,  our  issuances  of  equity  securities  are  subject  to  the  prior  approval  of  the  NJBPU  and  require 
registration  with  the  SEC.    Our  issuances  of  long-term  debt  securities  are  subject  to  the  prior  approval  of  the 
appropriate Utility Commissions. 

Regulation of Rates and Services  

For  ratemaking  purposes,  we  account  separately  for  operations  in  New  Jersey,  Delaware  and  Pennsylvania  to 
facilitate independent ratemaking by the applicable Utility Commissions. 

In determining our regulated utility rates, the respective Utility Commissions consider the revenue, expenses, rate 
base of property used and useful in providing service to the public and a fair rate of return on investments within 
their separate jurisdictions. Rate determinations by the respective Utility Commissions do not guarantee particular 
rates of return to us for our New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania operations.  Thus, we may not achieve the 
rates of return permitted by the Utility Commissions.  In addition, there can be no assurance that any future rate 
increases will be granted or, if granted, that they will be in the amounts requested.   

Middlesex Rate Matters 

In  August  2015,  Middlesex’s  Petition  to  the  NJBPU  seeking  permission  to  increase  base  water  rates  was 
concluded, based on a negotiated settlement, resulting in an increase in annual operating revenues of $5.0 million.  
The  base  water  rate  increase  request  of  $9.5  million,  filed  in  March  2015,  was  necessitated  by  declining 
consumption by Middlesex’s Commercial and Industrial class customers, increasing benefit costs for active and 
retired  employees,  capital  infrastructure  investments  and  regulation-driven  increases  in  other  operations  and 
maintenance  costs.  The new  base water rates  are designed to recover  the increased  costs and  lost revenues, as 
well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $219.0 million, based on a return on equity of 9.75%.  The rate 
increase  became  effective  on  August  29,  2015,  which  was  significantly  earlier  than  under  standard  procedural 
schedules.   Concurrent  with the increase Middlesex was required to  reset its Distribution System  Improvement 
Charge  (DSIC)  to  zero.  A  DSIC  is  a  rate-mechanism  that  allows  water  utilities  to  recover  investments  in,  and 
generate a return on, qualifying capital improvements to their water distribution system made between base rate 

6 

  
  
 
 
 
 
  
  
 
 
proceedings. The Middlesex DSIC had been in effect since May 2015, and had generated less than $0.1 million of 
revenues. 

In June 2014, Middlesex’s Petition to the NJBPU seeking permission to increase base water rates was partially 
approved, granting an increase in annual operating revenues of $4.2 million.  The originally-filed base water rate 
increase  request  of  $10.6  million,  filed  in  November  2013  (subsequently  revised  to  $8.1  million,  primarily 
resulting from lower employee benefit plan costs), was necessitated by capital investments Middlesex had made, 
or  committed  to  make,  increased  operations  and  maintenance  costs  and  reduced  revenues  resulting  from  the 
expiration  of  a  wholesale  water  sales  contract  with  the  Borough  of  Sayreville,  New  Jersey  in  August  2013.  In 
addition, Middlesex’s largest retail water customer, Hess Corporation, ceased its oil refining operations at its Port 
Reading, New Jersey facility in February 2013.  The new base water rates were designed to recover the increased 
costs and lost revenues, as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $208.6 million, based on a return on 
equity of 9.75%.  The rate increase became effective on July 20, 2014. 

Tidewater Rate Matters 

The DEPSC approved a $0.8 million increase in Tidewater’s annual base water rates, effective August 19, 2014.  
The  originally-filed  base  water  rate  increase  request  of  $3.9  million,  filed  in  November  2013  (subsequently 
revised to $2.5 million, primarily resulting from lower employee benefit plan costs), was necessitated by capital 
investments Tidewater had made, or committed to make, as well as increased operations and maintenance costs.  
In  connection  with  the  rate  increase  application,  Tidewater  implemented  a  DEPSC  approved  6.5%  interim  rate 
increase, subject to refund, on February 6, 2014.  Since the final required and approved rate increase was less than 
the  interim  rate  increase,  Tidewater  refunded  $0.4  million  of  previously  deferred  revenues  to  customers  in  the 
form of a one-time credit to each customer account.   

Effective  January  1,  2016,  Tidewater  increased  its  DEPSC-approved  DSIC  rate,  which  is  expected  to  generate 
additional revenues of approximately $0.2 million annually. 

In  April  2014,  the  DEPSC  approved  Tidewater’s  50-year  agreement  with  the  United  States  Department  of 
Defense  for  the  privatization  of  the  water  system  of  Dover  Air  Force  Base  (DAFB)  in  Dover,  Delaware.    On 
October 1, 2014, Tidewater assumed ownership of the DAFB water utility assets and began providing regulated 
water service to DAFB under Tidewater’s DEPSC approved tariff rates.   

TESI Rate Matters 

On  October  1,  2013,  TESI  closed  on  its  DEPSC-approved  purchase  of  the  wastewater  utility  assets  of  the 
Plantations  development  (the  Plantations)  for  $0.4  million  and  began  providing  wastewater  services  to  the  600 
residential  customers  in  the  Plantations  in  Delaware.    Upon  commencing  service  to  the  Plantations,  annual 
revenues  were  approximately  $0.2  million.    In  October  2014,  TESI  implemented  a  33.5%  Plantations  base 
wastewater rate increase (approximately $0.1 million annually). 

Pinelands Rate Matters 

In  October  2015,  Pinelands  Water  and  Pinelands  Wastewater  filed  separate  petitions  with  the  NJBPU  seeking 
permission to increase base rates by approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million per year, respectively.  These 
requests were necessitated by capital infrastructure investments both companies have made, or have committed to 
make,  increased  operations  and  maintenance  costs  and  lower  non-fixed  fee  revenues  for  both  companies.    We 
cannot  predict  whether  the  NJBPU  will  ultimately  approve,  deny,  or  reduce  the  amount  of  the  requests.    A 
decision by the NJBPU in either matter is not expected until the third quarter of 2016.   

In  March  2013,  the  NJBPU  approved  a  combined  $0.2  million  increase  in  Pinelands  Water  and  Pinelands 
Wastewater’s annual base water and wastewater revenues.  In its initial request, filed in August 2012, Pinelands 
had  sought  an  increase  of  $0.3  million  on  a  combined  basis.    The  rate  increase  for  water  service,  which  was 
approximately 50% of the approved increase, was phased-in over one year.

Southern Shores Rate Matters 

Under the terms of  a multi-year DEPSC-approved  agreement  expiring in 2020, customer  rates  will increase on 
January 1st of each year to generate additional annual revenue of $0.1 million with each increase.   

Twin Lakes Rate Matters 

In  November  2015, Twin  Lakes  filed  a  Petition  with  the  PAPUC  seeking  permission  to  increase  its  base  water 
rates by approximately $0.2 million per year.  This request was necessitated by capital infrastructure investments 
Twin Lakes has made, or committed to make, and increased operations and maintenance costs. We cannot predict 
whether  the  PAPUC  will  ultimately  approve,  deny,  or  reduce  the  amount  of  the  requests.    A  decision  by  the 
PAPUC is not expected until the third quarter of 2016.   

Future Rate Filings 

Management monitors the need for rate relief for our regulated subsidiaries on an ongoing basis.  When capital 
improvements (both  made and  planned) and/or increases in operation and maintenance costs  require rate relief, 
base rate increase requests are expeditiously filed with those subsidiaries’ Utility Commissions.  

Water and Wastewater Quality and Environmental Regulations  

Government  environmental  regulatory  agencies  regulate  our  operations  in  New  Jersey,  Delaware  and 
Pennsylvania with respect to water supply, treatment and distribution systems and the quality of the water.  They 
also regulate our operations with respect to wastewater collection, treatment and disposal. 

Regulations relating to water quality require us to perform tests to ensure our water meets state and federal quality 
requirements. In addition, government environmental regulatory agencies continuously review current regulations 
governing the limits of certain organic compounds found in the water as byproducts of the treatment process. We 
participate in industry-related research to identify the various types of technology that might reduce the level of 
organic, inorganic and synthetic compounds found in water. The cost to water companies of complying with the 
proposed water quality standards depends in part on the limits set in the regulations and on the method selected to 
treat  the  water  to  the  required  standards.      We  regularly  test  our  water  to  determine  compliance  with  existing 
government environmental regulatory agencies’ primary water quality standards.  

Treatment  of  well  water  in  our  Middlesex  System  is  by  chlorination  for  primary  disinfection  purposes.    In 
addition, at certain locations, air stripping is used for removal of volatile organic compounds. 

Surface  water treatment  in  our  Middlesex  System  is  by  conventional  treatment;  coagulation,  sedimentation  and 
filtration. The treatment process includes pH adjustment, chlorination for disinfection, and corrosion control for 
the distribution system. 

Treatment of well water in our Tidewater System is by chlorination for disinfection purposes and, in some cases, 
pH  correction  and  filtration  for  nitrate  and  iron  removal  and  granular  activated  carbon  filtration  for  organics 
removal. Chloramination is used for final disinfection at Southern Shores. 

Treatment  of  well  water  in  the  Pinelands,  Bayview  and  Twin  Lakes  Systems  (primary  disinfection  only)  is 
performed at individual well sites.  

The  NJDEP,  DEDPH  and  PADEP  monitor  our  activities  and  review  the  results  of  water  quality  tests  that  are 
performed  for  adherence  to  applicable  regulations.  Other  applicable  regulations  include  the  Federal  Lead  and 
Copper Rule, the Federal Surface Water Treatment Rule and the Federal Total Coliform Rule and regulations for 
maximum contaminant levels established for various volatile organic compounds.

Seasonality 

Customer demand for our water during the warmer months is generally greater than other times of the year due 
primarily  to  additional  consumption  of  water  in  connection  with  irrigation  systems,  swimming  pools,  cooling 
systems  and  other  outside  water  use.  Throughout  the  year,  and  particularly  during  typically  warmer  months, 
demand may vary with temperature and rainfall timing and overall levels.  In the event that temperatures during 
the typically warmer months are cooler than normal, or if there is more rainfall than normal, the customer demand 
for our water may decrease and therefore, adversely affect our revenues.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS. 

Our revenue and earnings depend on the rates we charge our customers. We cannot raise utility rates in 
our  regulated  businesses  without  filing  a  petition  with  the  appropriate  Utility  Commissions.  If  these 
agencies modify, delay, or deny our petition, our revenues will not increase and our earnings will decline 
unless we are able to reduce costs. 

The NJBPU regulates our public utility  companies in New Jersey with respect to rates and charges for service, 
classification of accounts, awards of new service territory, acquisitions, financings and other matters. That means, 
for example, that we cannot raise the utility rates we charge to our customers without first filing a petition with 
the  NJBPU  and  going  through  a  lengthy  administrative  process.  In  much  the  same  way,  the  DEPSC  and  the 
PAPUC  regulate  our  public  utility  companies  in  Delaware  and  Pennsylvania,  respectively.  We  cannot  give 
assurance  of  when  we  will  request  approval  for  any  such  matter,  nor  can  we  predict  whether  these  Utility 
Commissions will approve, deny or reduce the amount of such requests. 

Certain  costs  of  doing  business  are  not  completely  within  our  control.  The  failure  to  obtain  any  rate  increase 
would prevent us from increasing our revenues and, unless we are able to reduce costs, would result in reduced 
earnings.  

General  economic  conditions  may  materially  and  adversely  affect  our  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations. 

Ongoing  economic  conditions  continue  to  negatively  impact  some  of  our  customers’  water  usage  demands, 
particularly  the  level  of  water  usage  demand  by  our  commercial  and  industrial  customers  in  our  Middlesex 
System.  We are unable to determine when these customers’ water demands may return to previous levels, or if 
the decline in demand will continue indefinitely.  If water demand by our commercial and industrial customers in 
our Middlesex System does not return to previous levels, our financial condition and results of operations could 
continue to be negatively impacted.  

We  are  subject  to  environmental  laws  and  regulations,  including  water  quality  and  wastewater  effluent 
quality regulations, as well as other state and local regulations. Compliance with those laws and regulations 
requires us to incur costs and we are subject to fines or other sanctions for non-compliance. 

Government  environmental  regulatory  agencies  regulate  our  operations  in  New  Jersey,  Delaware  and 
Pennsylvania  with  respect  to  water  supply,  treatment  and  distribution  systems  and  the  quality  of  water. 
Government  environmental  regulatory  agencies’  regulations  relating  to  water  quality  require  us  to  perform 
expanded  types  of  testing  to  ensure  that  our  water  meets  state  and  federal  water  quality  requirements.  We  are 
10 

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
subject to EPA regulations under the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, which include the Lead and Copper Rule, 
the maximum contaminant levels established for various volatile organic compounds, the Federal Surface Water 
Treatment Rule and the Total Coliform Rule. There are also similar NJDEP regulations for our New Jersey water 
systems. The NJDEP, DEDPH and PADEP monitor our activities and review the results of water quality tests that 
we perform for adherence to applicable regulations. In addition, Government Environmental Regulatory Agencies 
are  continually  reviewing  regulations  governing  the  limits  of  certain  organic  compounds  found  in  the  water  as 
byproducts of treatment. 

We are also subject to regulations related to fire protection services in New Jersey and Delaware.  In New Jersey 
there is no state-wide fire protection regulatory agency.  However, New Jersey regulations exist as to the size of 
piping  required  regarding  the  provision  of  fire  protection  services.    In  Delaware,  fire  protection  is  regulated 
statewide by the Office of State Fire Marshal.   

The cost of compliance with the water and wastewater effluent quality standards depends in part on the limits set 
in  the  regulations  and  on  the  method  selected  to  implement  them.  If  new  or  more  restrictive  standards  are 
imposed, the cost of compliance could be very high and have an adverse impact on our revenues and results of 
operations  if  we  cannot  recover  those  costs  through  our  rates  that  we  charge  our  customers.    The  cost  of 
compliance with fire protection requirements could also be high and make us less profitable if we cannot recover 
those costs through our rates charged to our customers. 

In  addition,  if  we  fail  to  comply  with  environmental  or  other  laws  and  regulations  to  which  our  business  is 
subject, we could be fined or subject to other sanctions, which could adversely impact our business or results of 
operations.  

We depend upon our ability to raise money in the capital markets to finance some of the costs of complying 
with laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations or to pay for some of the costs of 
improvements to or the expansion of our utility system assets. Our regulated utility companies cannot issue 
debt or equity securities without regulatory approval. 

We require financing to fund the ongoing capital program for the improvement in our utility system assets and for 
planned expansion of those systems. We expect to spend approximately $160 million for capital projects through 
2018.  We must obtain approval from our economic regulators to sell debt or equity securities to raise money for 
these projects. If sufficient capital is not available, or the cost of capital is too high, or if the regulatory authorities 
deny a petition of ours to sell debt or equity securities, we may not be able to meet the costs of complying with 
environmental laws and regulations or the costs of improving and expanding our utility system assets to the level 
we  believe  operationally  prudent.    This  may  result  in  the  imposition  of  fines  from  environmental  regulators  or 
restrictions on our operations which could curtail our ability to upgrade or replace utility system assets.  

We rely on our information technology systems to help manage our operations.  

Our information technology systems require periodic modifications, upgrades and or replacement which subject 
us  to  costs  and  risks  including  potential  disruption  of  our  internal  control  structure,  substantial  capital 
expenditures,  additional  administration  and  operating  expenses,  retention  of  sufficiently  skilled  personnel  to 
implement and operate existing or new systems, and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning 
to new systems or of integrating new systems into our current systems. In addition, challenges implementing new 
technology systems may cause disruptions in our business operations and have an adverse effect on our business 
operations, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated. 

We rely on our computer, information and communications technology systems in connection with the operation 
of  our  business,  especially  with  respect  to  customer  service  and  billing,  accounting  and,  in  some  cases,  the 
monitoring and operation of our operating facilities.  Our computer and communications systems and operations 
could  be  damaged  or  interrupted  by  natural  disasters,  power  loss  and  internet,  telecommunications  or  data 
network failures or acts of war or terrorism or similar events or disruptions.  Any of these or other events could 

11 

 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
cause  service  interruption,  delays  and  loss  of  critical  data  or,  impede  aspects  of  operations  and  therefore, 
adversely affect our financial results.  

There have been an increasing number of cyber  security incidents on companies around the world, which have 
caused operational failures or compromised sensitive corporate data.  Although we do not believe our systems are 
at a materially greater risk of cyber incidents than other similar organizations, such cyber security incidents may 
result  in  the  loss  or  compromise  of  customer,  financial  or  operational  data,  disruption  of  billing,  collections  or 
normal field service activities, disruption of electronic monitoring and control of operational systems and delays 
in  financial  reporting  and  other  management  functions.  Possible  impacts  associated  with  a  cyber-incident  may 
include  remediation  costs  related  to  lost,  stolen,  or  compromised  data,  repairs  to  data  processing  systems, 
increased cyber security  protection costs,  adverse effects  on  our compliance  with regulatory and environmental 
laws and regulation, including standards for drinking water, litigation and reputational damage. 

Weather conditions and overuse of underground aquifers may interfere with our sources of water, demand 
for water services and our ability to supply water to customers. 

Our ability to meet current and future water demands of our customers depends on the availability of an adequate 
supply  of  water.  Unexpected  conditions  may  interfere  with  our  water  supply  sources.  Drought  and  overuse  of 
underground  aquifers  may  limit  the  availability  of  ground  and/or  surface  water.  Freezing  weather  may  also 
contribute  to  water  transmission  interruptions  caused  by  water  main  breakage.  Any  interruption  in  our  water 
supply could cause a reduction in our revenue and profitability. These factors may adversely affect our ability to 
supply water in sufficient quantities to our customers. Governmental drought restrictions may result in decreased 
customer demand for water services and can adversely affect our revenue and earnings.  

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which could affect demand for our water service and our 
revenues. 

Demand for our water during the warmer months is generally greater than during cooler months due primarily to 
additional  consumption  of  water  in  connection  with  irrigation  systems,  swimming  pools,  cooling  systems  and 
other outdoor water use. Throughout the year, and particularly during typically warmer months, demand may vary 
with temperature and rainfall levels.  In the event that temperatures during the typically warmer months are cooler 
than normal, or if there is more rainfall than normal, the demand for our water may decrease and adversely affect 
our revenues. 

Our water sources may become contaminated by naturally-occurring or man-made compounds and events. 
This may cause disruption in services and impose costs to restore the water to required levels of quality. 

Our sources of water may become contaminated by naturally-occurring or man-made compounds or other events. 
In the event that any portion of our water supply is contaminated, we may need to interrupt the use of that water 
supply  until  we  are  able  to  install  treatment  capability  or  substitute  the  flow  of  water  from  an  uncontaminated 
water  source  through  existing  interconnections  with  other  water  purveyors  or  through  our  transmission  and 
distribution  systems,  where  possible.  We  may  also  incur  significant  costs  in  treating  any  contaminated  water 
through  the  use  of  our  current  treatment  facilities,  or  development  of  new  treatment  methods.  Our  inability  to 
substitute  water  supply  from  an  uncontaminated  water  source,  or  to  adequately  treat  the  contaminated  water 
source in a cost-effective manner, may reduce our revenues and make us less profitable. 

We face competition from other water and wastewater utilities and service providers which might hinder 
our growth and reduce our profitability. 

We face risks of competition from other utilities or other entities authorized by federal, state or local agencies to 
provide utility services. Once a state utility regulator grants a franchise to a utility to serve a specific territory, that 
utility effectively has an exclusive right to service that territory. Although a new franchise offers some protection 
against competitors, the pursuit of franchises is often competitive, particularly in Delaware, where new franchises 
may  be  awarded  to  utilities  based  upon  competitive  negotiation.  Competing  entities  have  challenged,  and  may 

12 

  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
challenge in the future, our applications for new franchises. Also, third parties entering into long-term agreements 
to operate municipal utility systems may adversely affect our long-term agreements to supply water or wastewater 
services on a contract basis to municipalities, which could adversely affect our financial results. 

We have long-term contractual obligations  for  water, wastewater  and storm water system operation and 
maintenance under which we may incur costs in excess of payments received. 

USA-PA  operates  and  maintains  the  water  and  wastewater  systems  of  Perth  Amboy  under  a  20-year  contract 
expiring in 2018. USA operates and maintains the water, wastewater and storm water systems of Avalon under a 
10-year contract expiring in 2022. These contracts do not protect us against incurring costs in excess of revenues 
we earn pursuant to the contracts. There can be no absolute assurance that we will not experience losses resulting 
from  these  contracts.  Losses  under  these  contracts,  or  our  failure  or  inability  to  perform,  may  have  a  material 
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  

We serve as guarantor of performance of an unaffiliated company that operates a leachate pretreatment 
facility at the Monmouth County Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. 

Middlesex  entered  into  agreements,  expiring  in  2028,  with  Applied  Water  Management,  Inc.  (AWM),  Natural 
Systems  Utilities,  LLC,  the  parent  company  of  AWM,  and  the  County  of  Monmouth,  New  Jersey  (Monmouth 
County)  for  the  operation  of  a  leachate  pretreatment  facility  at  the  Monmouth  County  Reclamation  Center  in 
Tinton Falls, New Jersey.   Under the terms of the agreement, AWM operates the landfill leachate pretreatment 
facility owned by Monmouth County. Middlesex is serving the role of  guarantor of AWM's performance under 
the  agreement  (the  Guaranty),  for  which  Middlesex  earns  a  fee,  in  addition  to  providing  operational  support  if 
necessary.  If  asked  to  perform  under  the  Guaranty,  Middlesex  could  be  required  to  fulfill  the  remaining 
operational  commitments  of  AWM.  There  can  be  no  absolute  assurance  that  we  will  not  experience  losses  if 
asked to perform under the Guaranty. Losses from performance under this Guaranty, or our failure or inability to 
perform, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. 

Capital  market  conditions  and  key  assumptions  may  adversely  impact  the  value  of  our  postretirement 
benefit plan assets and liabilities. 

Market factors can adversely affect the rate of return on assets held in trusts to satisfy our future postretirement 
benefit  obligations  as  well  negatively  affect  interest  rates,  which  impacts  the  discount  rates  used  in  the 
determination  of  our  postretirement  benefit  actuarial  valuations.  In  addition,  changes  in  demographics,  such  as 
increases  in  life  expectancy  assumptions,  can  increase  future  postretirement  benefit  obligations.    Any  negative 
impact to these factors,  either individually or a  combination thereof, may have a material adverse effect on our 
financial condition and results of operations. 

An important element of our growth strategy is the acquisition of water and wastewater assets, operations, 
contracts or companies. Any pending or future acquisitions we decide to undertake may involve risks. 

The  acquisition  and/or  operation  of  water  and  wastewater  systems  is  an  element  of  our  growth  strategy.  This 
strategy  depends  on  identifying  suitable  opportunities  and  reaching  mutually  agreeable  terms  with  acquisition 
candidates or contract partners. Further, acquisitions may result in dilution of our equity securities, incurrence of 
debt and contingent liabilities, fluctuations in quarterly results and other related expenses. In addition, the assets, 
operations, contracts or companies we acquire may not achieve the sales and profitability expected. 

The  current  concentration  of  our  business  in  central  New  Jersey  and  Delaware  makes  us  susceptible  to 
adverse development in local regulatory, economic, demographic, competitive and weather conditions. 

Our  New  Jersey  water  and  wastewater  businesses  provide  services  to  customers  who  are  located  primarily  in 
eastern Middlesex County, New Jersey. Water service is provided under wholesale contracts to the Townships of 
Edison,  East  Brunswick  and  Marlboro,  the  Borough  of  Highland  Park,  the  Old  Bridge  Municipal  Utilities 
Authority, and the City of Rahway in Union County, New Jersey.  We also provide water and wastewater services 
to  customers  in  the  State  of  Delaware.    Our  revenues  and  operating  results  are  therefore  subject  to  local 
13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
regulatory, economic, demographic, competitive  and weather conditions in a relatively concentrated geographic 
area.  A change in any of these conditions could make it more costly for us to conduct our business.   

The necessity for ongoing security has and may continue to result in increased operating costs. 

Because of continuing physical and operational threats to the health and security of the United States of America, 
we employ procedures to review and modify, as necessary, physical and other security measures at our facilities. 
We provide ongoing training and communications to our employees about threats to our water supply, our assets 
and  related  systems  and  our  employees’  personal  safety.  Security  measures  include,  but  are  not  limited  to, 
protocols regarding delivery and handling of certain chemicals used in our business. We are at risk for terrorist 
attacks and have incurred, and will continue to incur, costs for security measures to protect against such risks. 

Our ability to achieve organic growth in our market area is dependent on the residential building market.  
Housing starts are one element that impacts our rate of growth and therefore, may not meet our 
expectations. 

We expect our revenues to increase from customer growth for our regulated water and wastewater operations as a 
result of anticipated construction and sale of new housing units. If housing starts decline, or do not increase as we 
have  projected,  as  a  result  of  economic  conditions  or  otherwise,  the  timing  and  extent  of  our  organic  revenue 
growth may not meet our expectations, our deferred project costs may not produce revenue-generating projects in 
the timeframes anticipated and our financial results could be negatively impacted. 

There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends in the future or, if dividends are paid, 
that they will be in amounts similar to past dividends. 

We have paid dividends on our common stock each year since 1912 and have increased the amount of dividends 
paid  each  year  since  1973.  Our  earnings,  financial  condition,  capital  requirements,  applicable  regulations  and 
other  factors,  including  the  timeliness  and  adequacy  of  rate  increases,  will  determine  both  our  ability  to  pay 
dividends and the amount of those dividends. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends in 
the future or, if dividends are paid, that they will be in amounts similar to past dividends. 

If we are unable to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness as it comes due or we default under 
certain other provisions of our loan documents, our indebtedness could be accelerated and our results of 
operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. 

Our ability to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness as it comes due will depend upon our current and 
future performance.  Our performance is affected by many factors, some of which are beyond our control.  

We believe cash generated from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under existing credit facilities, will be 
sufficient to enable us to make our debt payments as they become due.  If, however, we do not generate sufficient 
cash, we may be required to refinance our obligations or sell additional equity, which may be on terms that are 
less favorable than we desire. 

No assurance can be given that any refinancing or sale of equity will be possible when needed, or that we will be 
able  to  negotiate  acceptable  terms.    In  addition,  our  failure  to  comply  with  certain  provisions  contained  in  our 
trust indentures and loan agreements relating to our outstanding indebtedness could lead to a default under these 
documents, which could result in an acceleration of our indebtedness. 

We depend  significantly on the technical  and management services of  our senior management team, and 
the  departure  of  any  of  those  persons  could  cause  our  operating  results  to  temporarily  be  short  of  our 
expectations. 

Our  success  depends  significantly  on  the  continued  individual  and  collective  contributions  of  our  senior 
management team.  If we lose the services of any member of our senior management, or are unable to attract and 
retain qualified senior management personnel, our operating results could be negatively impacted.

We are subject to anti-takeover measures that may be used to discourage, delay or prevent changes of 
control that might benefit non-management shareholders. 

Subsection 10A of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, known as the New Jersey Shareholders Protection 
Act,  applies  to  us.  The  Shareholders  Protection  Act  deters  merger  proposals,  tender  offers  or  other  attempts  to 
effect changes in control that are not approved by our Board of Directors. In addition, we have a classified Board 
of Directors, which means only a portion of the Director population is elected each year. A classified Board can 
make it more difficult for an acquirer to gain control of the Company by voting its candidates onto the Board of 
Directors  and  may  also  deter  merger  proposals  and  tender  offers.  Our  Board  of  Directors  also  has  the  ability, 
subject  to  obtaining  NJBPU  approval,  to  issue  one  or  more  series  of  preferred  stock  having  such  number  of 
shares, designation, preferences, voting rights, limitations and other rights as the Board of Directors may fix. This 
could be used by the Board of Directors to discourage, delay or prevent an acquisition that the Board of Directors 
determines is not in the best interest of the common stockholders.

Utility Plant  

The water utility plant in our systems consists of source of supply, pumping, water treatment, transmission and 
distribution, general facilities and all appurtenances, including all connecting pipes.  

The wastewater utility plant in our systems consist of pumping, treatment, collection mains, general facilities and 
all appurtenances, including all connecting pipes. 

Middlesex System  

The Middlesex System’s principal source of surface supply is the Delaware & Raritan Canal owned by the State 
of New Jersey and operated as a water resource by the NJWSA.  

Water is withdrawn from the Delaware & Raritan Canal at New Brunswick, New Jersey through our intake and 
pumping station, located on state-owned land bordering the canal.  Water is transported through  two raw water 
pipelines for treatment and distribution at our CJO Water Treatment Plant in Edison, New Jersey.   

The CJO Water Treatment Plant includes chemical storage and chemical feed equipment, two dual rapid mixing 
basins, four upflow clarifiers which are also called superpulsators, four underground reinforced chlorine contact 
tanks, twelve rapid filters containing gravel, sand and anthracite for water treatment and a steel washwater tank. 
The CJO Water Treatment Plant also includes a computerized Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitions system 
to  monitor  and  control  the  CJO  Water  Treatment  Plant  and  the  water  supply  and  distribution  system  in  the 
Middlesex System.  There is an on-site State certified laboratory capable of performing bacteriological, chemical, 
process control and advanced instrumental chemical sampling and analysis. The firm design capacity of the CJO 
Water Treatment Plant is  55 mgd (60 mgd maximum capacity). The  five  electric  motor-driven,  vertical turbine 
pumps presently installed have an aggregate capacity of 85 mgd. 

In addition, there is a 15 mgd auxiliary pumping station located at the CJO Water Treatment Plant location. It has 
a dedicated substation and emergency power supply provided by a diesel-driven generator. It pumps from the 10 
million gallon distribution storage reservoir directly into the distribution system.  

The transmission and distribution system is comprised of 741 miles of mains and includes 23,200 feet of 48-inch 
concrete  transmission  main  connecting  the  CJO  Water  Treatment  Plant  to  our  distribution  pipe  network  and 
related storage facilities. Also included is a 58,600 foot transmission main and a 38,800 foot transmission main, 
augmented  with  a  long-term,  non-exclusive  agreement  with  the  East  Brunswick  system  to  transport  water  to 
several of our contract customers.  

The  Middlesex  System’s  storage  facilities  consist  of  a  10  million  gallon  reservoir  at  the  CJO  Water  Treatment 
Plant, 5 million gallon and 2 million gallon reservoirs in Edison (Grandview) and a 2 million gallon reservoir at 
the Park Avenue Well Field.  

In New Jersey, we own the properties on which the Middlesex System’s 31 wells are located, the properties on 
which our storage tanks are located as well as the property where the CJO Water Treatment Plant is located.  We 
also  own  our  headquarters  complex  located  at  1500  Ronson  Road,  Iselin,  New  Jersey,  consisting  of  a  27,000 
square foot office building and an adjacent 16,500 square foot maintenance facility.  

Tidewater System  

The Tidewater System is comprised of 85 production plants that vary in pumping capacity from 46,000 gallons 
per  day  to  4.4  mgd.  Water  is  transported  to  our  customers  through  745  miles  of  transmission  and  distribution 
mains. Storage facilities include 47 tanks, with an aggregate capacity of 8.3 million gallons.  The Delaware office 
property,  located  on  an  eleven-acre  parcel  owned  by  White  Marsh,  consists  of  two  office  buildings  totaling 
approximately 17,000 square feet.  In addition, Tidewater maintains a field operations center servicing its largest 

16 

  
 
  
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
service territory area in Sussex County, Delaware. The operations center is located on a 2.9 acre parcel owned by

The Company has paid dividends on its common stock each year since 1912. The payment of future dividends is 
contingent upon the future earnings of the Company, its financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by 
the Board of Directors at its discretion. 

If four or more quarterly dividends are in arrears, the preferred shareholders, as a class, are entitled to elect two 
members to the Board of Directors in addition to Directors elected by holders of the common stock. In the event 
dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears, no dividends may be declared or paid on the common stock of the 
Company.  

The  Company  periodically  issues  shares  of  common  stock  in  connection  with  its  Middlesex  Water  Company 
Investment  Plan  (the  Investment  Plan),  a  direct  share  purchase  and  sale  and  dividend  reinvestment  plan  for 
Middlesex  common  stock.  In  July  2015,  the  Company  registered  an  additional  700,000  common  shares  for 
potential  issuance  under  the  Investment  Plan  with  the  United  States  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission, 
increasing  the  number  of  NJBPU-authorized  shares  to  3.0  million.  The  Company  raised  approximately  $1.5 
million through the issuance of 0.1 million shares under the Investment Plan during 2015.  

The  Company  has  a  stock  compensation  plan  for  certain  management  employees  (the  2008  Restricted  Stock 
Plan).  The  Company  maintains  an  escrow  account  for  0.1  million  awarded  shares  of  the  Company's  common 
stock  for  the  2008  Restricted  Stock  Plan.  Such  stock  is  subject  to  an  agreement  requiring  forfeiture  by  the 
employee  in  the  event  of  termination  of  employment  within  five  years  of  the  award  other  than  as  a  result  of 
retirement, death, disability or change in control. The maximum number of shares authorized for grant under the 
2008 Restricted Stock Plan is 0.3 million shares and 0.1 million shares remain available for future awards under 
the 2008 Restricted Stock Plan.

Recent Developments 

Middlesex Base Water Rate Increase - In the third quarter of 2015, Middlesex implemented a base water rate 
increase of $5.0 million. The base water rate increase was necessitated by declining consumption by Middlesex’s 
Commercial  and  Industrial  class  customers,  increasing  benefit  costs  for  active  and  retired  employees,  capital 
infrastructure  investments,  and  regulation-driven  increases  in  other  operations  and  maintenance  costs.    See 
“Rates” below for further discussion of this base water rate increase.  

Pinelands and Twin Lakes Rate Increase Requests – In the fourth quarter of 2015, Pinelands Water, Pinelands 
Wastewater and Twin  Lakes filed base rate  increase requests  with  their respective utility commissions, seeking 
permission  to  increase  base  rates  by  approximately  $0.3  million,  $0.2  million  and  $0.2  million  per  year, 
respectively.  See “Rates” below for further discussion of these base rate increase requests.  

Income Taxes - The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued final regulations pertaining to the deductibility of 
costs that qualify as repairs on tangible property. The regulations, which the Company adopted by filing a change 
in accounting method request with its 2014 Federal income tax return, redefine the characteristics previously used 
by  the  Company  to  determine  tax  deductibility  of  expenditures  associated  with  tangible  property.  Under  the 
regulations,  the  IRS  has  provided  guidelines  for  certain  industries,  but  not  for  regulated  public  water  utilities. 
Consequently, the Company undertook a comprehensive study to support the adoption and integration of the new 
regulations  into  its  tax  policies  prospectively,  and  to  also  determine  the  level  of  deductibility  for  income  tax 
purposes for expenditures incurred on projects completed in prior years where such expenditures were capitalized, 
but  may  now  be  considered  currently  deductible  as  repairs  under  the  new  regulations.    Included  in  its  2014 
21 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
Federal  income  tax  return,  filed  in  September  2015,  the  Company  submitted  support  which  results  in  a  net 
reduction  of  $17.6  million  in  taxes  due  to  the  federal  government.    While  the  Company  believes  that  the 
deduction for qualifying tangible property repair costs included in its tax return is proper, it could be challenged 
under an examination by the IRS. Therefore, the Company has recorded a provision against refundable taxes of 
$2.3 million. The Company believes that  the net  operating  loss carry-forward, expiring in 2034,  resulting from 
adoption of the regulations (approximately $7.8 million) is more likely than not to be recovered. 

It  is  probable  that  any  net  tax  benefits  that  resulted  from  adopting  the  study  findings  will  be  considered  in 
determining the revenue requirement used to set base rates for the Company in a future  regulatory proceeding. 
Consequently, adoption of the new regulations did not and will not have a significant impact on the Company’s 
financial  statements  or  effective  tax  rate.  Adoption  of  these  new  regulations  resulted  in  a  $10.3  million  federal 
income tax refund request, a $1.5 million increase in regulatory assets for additional expenses incurred expected 
to be recovered from customers in the future, a $5.0 million decrease in accrued taxes for the amount of refund 
applied against future tax payments and a $16.8 million increase in accumulated deferred income taxes. 

The Company has been notified by the IRS that the Company’s 2014 federal income tax return has been selected 
for examination. 

Strategy for Growth 

Our strategy is focused on five key areas:  

(cid:120)  Prudent acquisitions of investor- and municipally-owned water and wastewater utilities; 

(cid:120)  Timely  and  adequate  recovery  of  prudent  investments  in  utility  plant  required  to  maintain  appropriate 

utility services; 

(cid:120)  Operate municipal and industrial water and wastewater systems under contract; 

Invest  in  renewable  energy  projects  that  are  complementary  to  the  provision  of  water  and  wastewater 
services, and to our core water and wastewater competencies; and 

Invest  in  other  products,  services  and  opportunities  that  complement  our  core  water  and  wastewater 
competencies.

Rates 

Middlesex  -  In  August  2015,  Middlesex’s  Petition  to  the  New  Jersey  Board  of  Public  Utilities  (the  NJBPU) 
seeking permission to increase base water rates was concluded, based on a negotiated settlement, resulting in an 
increase in annual operating revenues of $5.0 million.  The base water rate increase request of $9.5 million, filed 
in  March  2015,  was  necessitated  by  declining  consumption  by  Middlesex’s  Commercial  and  Industrial  class 
customers,  increasing  benefit  costs  for  active  and  retired  employees,  capital  infrastructure  investments  and 
regulation-driven increases in other operations and maintenance costs.  The new base water rates are designed to 
recover the increased costs and lost revenues, as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $219.0 million, 
based  on  a  return  on  equity  of  9.75%.    The  rate  increase  became  effective  on  August  29,  2015,  which  was 
significantly  earlier  than  under  standard  procedural  schedules.    Concurrent  with  the  increase  Middlesex  was 
required to reset its Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) to zero. A DSIC is a rate-mechanism that 
allows water utilities to recover investments in, and generate a return on, qualifying capital improvements to their 
water  distribution  system  made  between  base  rate  proceedings.  The  Middlesex  DSIC  had  been  in  effect  since 
May 2015, and had generated less than $0.1 million of revenues. 

In June 2014, Middlesex’s Petition to the NJBPU seeking permission to increase base water rates was partially 
approved, granting an increase in annual operating revenues of $4.2 million.  The originally-filed base water rate 
increase  request  of  $10.6  million,  filed  in  November  2013  (subsequently  revised  to  $8.1  million,  primarily 
resulting from lower employee benefit plan costs), was necessitated by capital investments Middlesex had made, 
22 

  
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
or  committed  to  make,  increased  operations  and  maintenance  costs  and  reduced  revenues  resulting  from  the 
expiration  of  a  wholesale  water  sales  contract  with  the  Borough  of  Sayreville,  New  Jersey  in  August  2013.  In 
addition, Middlesex’s largest retail water customer, Hess Corporation, ceased its oil refining operations at its Port 
Reading, New Jersey facility in February 2013.  The new base water rates were designed to recover the increased 
costs and lost revenues, as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $208.6 million, based on a return on 
equity of 9.75%.  The rate increase became effective on July 20, 2014. 

Tidewater  -  The  Delaware  Public  Service  Commission  (the  DEPSC)  approved  a  $0.8  million  increase  in 
Tidewater’s  annual  base  water  rates,  effective  August  19,  2014.    The  originally-filed  base  water  rate  increase 
request of $3.9 million, filed in November 2013 (subsequently revised to $2.5 million, primarily resulting from 
lower employee benefit plan costs), was necessitated by capital investments Tidewater had made, or committed to 
make, as  well as increased operations and maintenance  costs.    In  connection with the rate increase application, 
Tidewater implemented a DEPSC approved 6.5% interim rate increase, subject to refund, on February 6, 2014.  
Since  the  final  required  and  approved  rate  increase  was  less  than  the  interim  rate  increase,  Tidewater  refunded 
$0.4  million  of  previously  deferred  revenues  to  customers  in  the  form  of  a  one-time  credit  to  each  customer 
account.   

Effective  January  1,  2016,  Tidewater  increased  its  DEPSC-approved  DSIC  rate,  which  is  expected  to  generate 
additional revenues of approximately $0.2 million annually. 

In  April  2014,  the  DEPSC  approved  Tidewater’s  50-year  agreement  with  the  United  States  Department  of 
Defense  for  the  privatization  of  the  water  system  of  Dover  Air  Force  Base  (DAFB)  in  Dover,  Delaware.    On 
October 1, 2014, Tidewater assumed ownership of the DAFB water utility assets and began providing regulated 
water service to DAFB under Tidewater’s DEPSC approved tariff rates.   

TESI - On October 1, 2013, TESI closed on its DEPSC-approved purchase of the wastewater utility assets of the 
Plantations  development  (the  Plantations)  for  $0.4  million  and  began  providing  wastewater  services  to  the  600 
residential  customers  in  the  Plantations  in  Delaware.    Upon  commencing  service  to  the  Plantations,  annual 
revenues  were  approximately  $0.2  million.    In  October  2014,  TESI  implemented  a  33.5%  Plantations  base 
wastewater rate increase (approximately $0.1 million annually). 

Pinelands - In October 2015, Pinelands Water and Pinelands Wastewater filed separate petitions with the NJBPU 
seeking permission to increase base rates by approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million per year, respectively.  
These  requests  were  necessitated  by  capital  infrastructure  investments  both  companies  have  made,  or  have 
committed  to  make,  increased  operations  and  maintenance  costs  and  lower  non-fixed  fee  revenues  for  both 
companies.  We cannot predict whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny, or  reduce the  amount of the 
requests.  A decision by the NJBPU in either matter is not expected until the third quarter of 2016.   

In  March  2013,  the  NJBPU  approved  a  combined  $0.2  million  increase  in  Pinelands  Water  and  Pinelands 
Wastewater’s annual base water and wastewater revenues.  In its initial request, filed in August 2012, Pinelands 
had  sought  an  increase  of  $0.3  million  on  a  combined  basis.    The  rate  increase  for  water  service,  which  was 
approximately 50% of the approved increase, was phased-in over one year. 

Southern Shores - Under the terms of a multi-year DEPSC-approved agreement expiring in 2020, customer rates 
will increase on January 1st of each year to generate additional annual revenue of $0.1 million with each increase.  

Twin Lakes - In November 2015, Twin Lakes filed a Petition with the PAPUC seeking permission to increase its 
base water rates by approximately $0.2 million per year.  This request was necessitated by capital infrastructure 
investments Twin Lakes has made, or committed to make, and increased operations and maintenance costs. We 
cannot  predict  whether  the  PAPUC  will  ultimately  approve,  deny,  or  reduce  the  amount  of  the  requests.    A 
decision by the PAPUC is not expected until the third quarter of 2016.

Outlook

Revenues in 2016 are expected to be favorably impacted by the full year effect of Middlesex’s August 2015 base 
water  rate  increase  and,  if  approved,  base  rate  increases  for  Pinelands  Water,  Pinelands  Wastewater  and  Twin 
Lakes.    In  addition,  revenues  are  expected  to  be  favorably  impacted  by  the  increase  in  the  Tidewater  DSIC, 
effective  since  January  1,  2016.    Our  2015  revenues  were  impacted  by  favorable  weather-related  increased 
customer demand.  See “Rates” above for further discussion these matters. 

Revenues and earnings are influenced by weather. Changes in water usage patterns, as well as increases in capital 
expenditures  and  operating  costs,  are  significant  factors  in  determining  the  timing  and  extent  of  rate  increase 
requests.  We continue to implement plans to further streamline operations and further reduce operating costs.

A market-driven higher discount rate is expected to result in lower employee benefit plan expense in 2016. See 
Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of Employee Benefit Plans. 

Our ability to increase operating income and net income is based significantly on four factors: weather, adequate 
and  timely  rate  relief,  effective  cost  management,  and  customer  growth.  These  factors  are  evident  in  the 
discussions below which compare our results of operations from prior years. 

Operating Results by Segment

The  Company  has  two  operating  segments,  Regulated  and  Non-Regulated.  Our  Regulated  segment  contributed 
approximately 88% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and approximately 
94%,  93%  and  93%  of  net  income  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2015,  2014  and  2013,  respectively.  The 
discussion of the Company’s results of operations is on a consolidated basis, and includes significant factors by 
subsidiary.  The  segments  in  the  tables  included  below  are  comprised  of  the  following  companies:  Regulated- 
Middlesex, Tidewater, Pinelands, Southern Shores, TESI and Twin Lakes; Non-Regulated- USA, USA-PA, and 
White Marsh.

Operating Revenues 

Operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased $8.9 million from the same period in 2014   
due to the following factors: 

(cid:120)  Middlesex System revenues increased $5.6 million due to NJBPU-approved rate increases implemented in 
July  2014  (approximately  $2.2  million)  and  August  2015  (approximately  $1.6  million)  and  higher 
weather-driven customer demand (approximately $1.8 million); 

(cid:120)  Tidewater System revenues increased $1.8 million due to higher demand from existing customers and the 

October 2014 acquisition of the Dover Air Force Base system; 

(cid:120)  USA-PA’s revenues  increased $0.8  million  from  scheduled fixed fees increases  under our contract with 
Perth Amboy ($1.0 million) partially offset by lower revenues ($0.2 million) under the same contract for 
supplemental services; 

(cid:120)  TESI’s  revenues  increased  $0.3  million  due  primarily  to  base  wastewater  rate  increases  effective  in 

October 2014 and April 2015;  

(cid:120)  USA’s revenues increased $0.2 million due to a higher amount of billable supplemental services under our 
contract  to  operate  the  Avalon  water,  wastewater  and  storm  water  system  (see  corresponding  expense 
increase in “Operation and Maintenance Expense” below); and 

(cid:120)  All other revenues increased $0.2 million. 

Operation and Maintenance Expenses 

Operation and maintenance expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased $6.0 million from the same 
period in 2014 due to the following factors: 

(cid:120)  Employee benefit expenses increased $3.4 million due to higher employee healthcare insurance costs and 
higher  retirement plan  costs  resulting  from  a  lower  discount rate than in the  prior  year  and the  required 
adoption of new mortality tables, reflecting longer life expectancies. Both factors impacted the calculation 
of the 2015 net periodic plan costs; 

(cid:120)  Variable  production  costs  increased  $0.9  million  due  to  an  increase  in  the  rate  the  Company  pays  for 
residuals  removal  in  our  Middlesex  System  and  increased  production  in  our  Middlesex  and  Tidewater 
systems; 

(cid:120)  USA-PA’s  operation  and  maintenance  costs  increased  $0.9  million  due  mostly  to  higher  subcontractor 

expenditures (see corresponding increase in “Operating Revenues” above);  

(cid:120)  USA’s  operation  and  maintenance  costs  increased  $0.6  million  due  to  expenditures  for  billable 
supplemental services under USA’s contract to operate the Avalon water, sewer and storm water systems 
(see corresponding revenue increase in “Operating Revenues” above); and 
(cid:120)  All other operation and maintenance expense categories increased $0.2 million. 

Depreciation 

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased $0.6 million from the same period in 2014 
due to a higher level of utility plant in service.  

Other Taxes  

Other taxes for the year  ended December 31, 2015 increased $0.8 million from the same period in 2014 due to 
higher revenue related taxes on increased revenues in our Middlesex system.  

Other Income, net 

Other Income, net for the  year ended December 31, 2015 increased $0.7  million from the same period in 2014 
due  higher  allowance  for  funds  used  during  construction,  resulting  from  a  higher  level  of  capital  projects  in 
progress, and lower business development costs at our TESI subsidiary.

Interest Charges 

Interest charges for the year ended December 31, 2015 decreased $0.1 million from the same period in 2014 due 
to lower average interest rates on decreased average total debt outstanding. 

Income Taxes 

Income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased $0.6 million from the same period in 2014 due to 
increased pre-tax operating income in 2015 as compared to 2014.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased $1.6 million as compared with the same period in 
2014.  Basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  increased  to  $1.23  and  $1.22,  respectively,  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2015, as compared to $1.14 and $1.13, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Operating Revenues 

Operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased $2.3 million from the same period in 2013 
due to the following factors: 

(cid:120) Middlesex System revenues decreased $0.5 million: 

o Contract Sales to Municipalities decreased by $1.1 million due to the expiration of the Borough of 
Sayreville,  New  Jersey  (Sayreville)  wholesale  contract  in  August  2013  ($1.2  million),  mitigated 
for  part  of  2014  by  the  NJBPU-approved  rate  increase  implemented  in  July  2014  and  by  higher 
demand for water from customers (collectively $0.l million); and 

o Revenues from General Metered Service (GMS) customers increased $0.6 million from the same 
period in 2013 due to the NJBPU-approved rate increase implemented in July 2014 (approximately 
$1.7  million)  partially  offset  by  decreased  GMS  customer  water  demand  (approximately  $0.9 
million)  as  a  result  of  unfavorable  weather  and  Hess  Corporation  (Hess)  ceasing  its  oil  refining 
operations at its Port Reading, New Jersey facility in February 2013; 

26

(cid:120)  Tidewater System revenues increased $2.5 million: 

o  Higher customer water demand; 
o  Increased fees for new customer connections to our water system; and 
o  The  implementation  of  a  DEPSC-approved  interim  and  final  base  rate  increases  (see  “Rates-

Tidewater” above for further discussion of the Tidewater base water rate increase);  

(cid:120)  TESI’s  revenues  increased  $0.5  million  for  service  to  the  customers  of  the  acquired  Plantations 
wastewater  system,  which  TESI  began  serving  in  October  2013,  and  the  phase-in  of  TESI’s  2012  base 
wastewater rate increase; and 

(cid:120)  USA’s revenues decreased $0.4 million due to a lower level of billable supplemental services under our 
contract  to  operate  the  Avalon  water  utility,  sewer  utility  and  storm  water  system  (see  corresponding 
decrease in “Operations and Maintenance Expense” below; and 
(cid:120)  Operating revenues at all other subsidiaries increased $0.2 million. 

Operation and Maintenance Expense 

Operation  and  maintenance  expenses  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2014  decreased  $1.6  million  due  to  the 
following factors: 

(cid:120)  Employee  benefit  expenses  decreased  $3.0  million  due  to  lower  postretirement  employee  benefit  plan 
costs  resulting  from  improved  performance  in  2013  on  our  investment  of  retirement  plan  funds  and  a 
higher discount rate used for the actuarially determined 2014 expense; 

(cid:120)  Variable  production  costs  decreased  $0.4  million  due  to  lower  customer  water  demand  and  higher  raw 

water quality in our Middlesex System; 

(cid:120)  Expenditures for billable supplemental services related to USA’s Avalon contract decreased $0.4 million 

(see corresponding decrease in ”Operating Revenues” above); 

(cid:120)  Severe  winter  weather  in  early  2014  resulted  in  higher  water  main  break  costs  of  $0.5  million  in  our 

(cid:120) 

Middlesex and Pinelands Systems and higher facilities maintenance expenses of $0.1 million;  
Inspection,  storm  preparation,  maintenance  and  repair  services  increased  $0.4  million  at  Middlesex’s 
production and transmission and distribution facilities; 
Information technology expenses increased $0.2 million due to higher licensing and service contract fees; 

(cid:120) 
(cid:120)  Liability insurance expenses increased $0.2 million; 
(cid:120)  Labor  costs  increased  $0.6  million  due  to  higher  overtime  resulting  from  severe  winter  weather  in  our 

Middlesex System and higher average labor rates; and 

(cid:120)  Operation and maintenance expenses for all other categories increased $0.2 million.  

Depreciation 

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased $0.5 million from the same period in 2013 
due to a higher level of utility plant in service.  

Other Taxes  

Other taxes  for the  year  ended December 31, 2014 were  consistent  with  the same period in  2013 due to lower 
revenue related taxes on lower taxable revenues in our Middlesex system offset by higher payroll taxes.  

Other Income (Expense), net 

Other Income, net for the  year ended December 31, 2014 decreased $0.5 million from the same period in 2013 
due to business development costs at our TESI subsidiary.  

Interest Charges 

Interest charges for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased $0.2 million from the same period in 2013 due 
to lower average interest rates on long-term debt and lower average long-term debt outstanding.

Income Taxes 

Income  taxes  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2014  increased  $1.3  million  from  the  same  period  in  2013, 
primarily due to increased operating income in 2014 as compared to 2013 and a higher effective tax rate, resulting 
from Middlesex’s subsidiaries who pay state income taxes contributing a higher percentage of 2014 consolidated 
pre-tax income.     

Net Income and Earnings Per Share 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased $1.8 million from the same period in 2013. Basic 
and diluted earnings per share increased to $1.14 and $1.13, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2014 
as compared to $1.04 and $1.03, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

Cash Flows from Operating Activities 

Cash  flows  from  operating  activities  are  largely  based  on  four  factors:  weather,  adequate  and  timely  rate 
increases, effective cost management and customer growth. The effect of those factors on net income is discussed 
in the Results of Operations section above.  

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2015,  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  increased  $18.6  million  to  $51.2 
million.  The increase in cash flows from operating activities resulted from a net refund of previously paid federal 
income  taxes  resulting  from  the  Company’s  adoption  of  final  IRS  regulations  pertaining  to  the  deductibility  of 
costs that qualify as repairs on tangible property (approximately $8.8 million), income taxes paid and higher net 
income  (see  “Recent  Developments”  above  for  further  discussion  on  the  Company’s  adoption  of  final  IRS 
regulations pertaining to qualifying repair costs on tangible property).  The $51.2 million of net cash flow from 
operations enabled us to internally fund all utility plant expenditures incurred in 2015.   

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2014,  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  decreased  $1.2  million  to  $32.6 
million.    The  decrease  in  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  resulted  from  the  timing  of  vendor  and  interest 
payments, partially offset by higher earnings and timing of income tax payments.  The $32.6 million of net cash 
flow from operations enabled us to internally fund all of our utility plant expenditures incurred in 2014. 

Increases in certain operating costs impact our liquidity and capital resources. We continually monitor the need 
for timely  rate filing to minimize the lag  between  the  time  we experience  increased operating costs and capital 
expenditures  and  the  time  we  receive  appropriate  rate  relief.    There  can  be  no  assurances  however  that  our 
regulated  subsidiaries’  respective  Utility  Commissions  will  approve  base  water  and/or  wastewater  rate  increase 
requests in whole or in part or when the decisions will be rendered.   

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2015,  cash  flows  used  in  investing  activities  increased  $2.5  million  to  $24.4 
million.  The increase in cash flows used in investing activities resulted from increased utility plant expenditures 
partially offset by increased restricted cash inflows. 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2014,  cash  flows  used  in  investing  activities  increased  $0.4  million  to  $21.8 
million.  The increase in cash flows used in investing activities resulted from increased utility plant expenditures. 

For further discussion on the Company’s future capital expenditures and expected funding sources, see “Capital 
Expenditures and Commitments” below. 

Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, cash flows used in financing activities increased $13.1 million to $26.0 
million.  The increase in cash flows used in financing activities resulted from increased short-term debt refunding 

28 

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and lower net cash inflows from long-term debt, as the Company did not require any additional New Jersey State 
Revolving Fund (SRF) long-term financing in 2015.

For the  year ended December 31,  2014, cash flows used  in financing activities increased $2.3 million to $12.9 
million.  The increase in cash flows used in financing activities resulted from increased short-term debt refunding 
offset  by  higher  net  cash  inflows  from  long-term  debt  financings,  as  Tidewater  drew  down  $8.0  million  on  a 
completed loan transaction.

For further discussion on the Company’s short-term and long-term debt, see “Sources of Liquidity” below. 

Capital Expenditures and Commitments 

To  fund  our  capital  program,  we  use  internally  generated  funds,  short  term  and  long  term  debt  borrowings, 
proceeds from sales of common stock under the Middlesex Water Company Investment Plan (Investment Plan) 
and, when market conditions are favorable, proceeds from sales offerings to the public of our common stock.

Our estimated capital expenditures for the items listed above are primarily comprised of the following: 

(cid:120) Distribution/Network  System-Projects  associated  with  installation  and  relocation  of  water  mains  and 
service  lines  and  wastewater  collection  systems,  construction  of  water  storage  tanks,  installation  and 
replacement of hydrants and meters and our RENEW Program. RENEW is our ongoing initiative to clean 
and  cement-line  unlined  mains  in  the  Middlesex  System.  Certain  mains  may  be  replaced  under  the 
RENEW program, as opposed to cleaned and lined, as asset condition assessments dictate.  In connection 
with our RENEW Program, we expect to spend $12.0 million in 2016 and $10.0 million in both 2017 and 
2018.

(cid:120) Production System-Projects associated with our water production and water/wastewater treatment plants. 
(cid:120) Computer Systems-Purchase and/or upgrade of hardware and software. 
(cid:120) Other-Purchase  of  vehicles  and  other  transportation  equipment,  tools,  furniture,  laboratory  equipment, 

security systems and other general infrastructure needs. 

The  actual  amount  and  timing  of  capital  expenditures  is  dependent  on  the  need  for  replacement  of  existing 
infrastructure,  customer  growth,  residential  new  home  construction  and  sales,  project  scheduling  and  continued 
refinement of project scope and costs.  

To pay for our capital program in 2016, we plan on utilizing: 

Internally generated funds; 

(cid:120)
(cid:120) Proceeds from the Investment Plan;  
(cid:120) Proceeds from the 2016 New Jersey and Delaware SRF programs (up to $14.0 million and $1.2 million, 
respectively).  SRF  programs provide low cost financing for projects that meet certain  water quality and 
system improvement benchmarks; and 

(cid:120) Short-term  borrowings,  if  necessary,  through  $60.0  million  of  available  lines  of  credit  with  several 
financial  institutions.    As  of  December  31,  2015,  there  remains  $57.0  million  of  available  credit  under 
these lines.

Sources of Liquidity 

Short-term  Debt.  The  Company  had  established  lines  of  credit  aggregating  $60.0  million  throughout  2015.  At 
December 31, 2015, the outstanding borrowings under these credit lines were $3.0 million, at a weighted average 
interest rate of 1.41%.   

The weighted average daily amounts of borrowings outstanding under the Company’s credit lines and the weighted 
average interest rates on those amounts were $15.3 million and $27.4 million at 1.19% and 1.41% for the years ended 
December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  

Long-term  Debt.  Subject  to  regulatory  approval,  the  Company  periodically  issues  long-term  debt  to  fund  its 
investments  in  utility  plant  and  other  assets.    To  the  extent  possible,  the  Company  finances  qualifying  capital 
projects under SRF loan programs in New Jersey and Delaware. These government programs provide financing at 
interest rates that are typically below rates available in the broader financial markets. A portion of the borrowings 
under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free. We have qualified to participate in the 2016 New Jersey and Delaware 
SRF programs (up to  $14.0  million  and $1.2 million, respectively) with  an  expected closing  date in November 
2016 for the New Jersey SRF loan.  Tidewater closed on the $1.2 million SRF loan on February 11, 2016. 

In 2014, Tidewater completed a $15.0 million debt transaction.  Tidewater drew down $8.0 million in 2014 and 
the remaining $7.0 million in 2015. $11.0 million of the loan is at a fixed interest rate of 4.45% and $4.0 million 
is  at  a  market-based  variable  interest  rate.  The  proceeds  were  used  to  pay  down  short-term  debt  and  for  other 
general  corporate  purposes.    The  interest  rates  on  the  variable  portion  of  the  loan  can  be  fixed  at  Tidewater’s 
discretion. The final maturity date of all borrowings under this loan agreement is April 2040. 

In  May  2014,  Middlesex  borrowed  approximately  $3.8  million  through  the  New  Jersey  Environmental 
Infrastructure Trust (NJEIT) under the New Jersey SRF loan program and issued first mortgage bonds designated 
as Series VV (approximately $2.8 million) and Series WW (approximately $0.9 million).  The interest rate on the 
Series VV bond is zero and the interest rate on the Series WW bond ranges from 3.0% to 5.0% depending on the 
serial  maturity  date.    The  final  maturity  date  for  both  bonds  is  August  1,  2033.    Proceeds  were  used  for  the 
Middlesex  2014  RENEW  project,  which  is  part  of  a  program  to  clean  and  cement  all  unlined  mains  in  the 
Middlesex system.  

In 2014, Tidewater borrowed $0.6 million, which represented the balance of a $1.1 million project specific loan 
with the Delaware SRF at an interest rate of 3.45% and final maturity of August 1, 2031.  

Substantially all  of the Utility Plant  of  the  Company  is subject to the lien  of its  mortgage,  which includes debt 
service  and  capital  ratio  covenants.  The  Company  is  in  compliance  with  all  of  its  mortgage  covenants  and 
restrictions. 

Common  Stock.  The  Company  periodically  issues  shares  of  common  stock  in  connection  with  the  Investment 
Plan.  The  Company  raised  $1.5  million  through  the  issuance  of  0.1  million  shares  under  the  Investment  Plan 
during 2015. In July 2015, the Company registered an additional 700,000 common shares for potential issuance 
under the Investment Plan with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, increasing the number of 
NJBPU-authorized shares to 3.0 million. 

Contractual Obligations 

In  the  course  of  normal  business  activities,  the  Company  enters  into  a  variety  of  contractual  obligations  and 
commercial commitments. Some of these items result in direct obligations on the Company’s balance sheet while 
others  are  commitments,  some  firm  and  some  based  on  uncertainties,  which  are  disclosed  in  the  Company’s 
consolidated financial statements.

The table above does not reflect any anticipated cash payments for postretirement benefit plan obligations.  The 
effect on the timing and amount of these payments resulting from potential changes in actuarial assumptions and 
returns on plan assets cannot be estimated.  In 2015, the Company contributed $5.0 million to its postretirement 
benefit plans and expects to contribute approximately $4.8 million in 2016. In addition, the table above does not 
reflect the provision against refundable taxes of $2.3 million related to the Company’s adoption of IRS tangible 
property  repair  cost  regulations  due  to  the  uncertainty  of  future  cash  flows  (see  Note  3  of  the  Notes  to 
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion).   

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates  

The  application  of  accounting  policies  and  standards  often  requires  the  use  of  estimates,  assumptions  and 
judgments. The Company regularly evaluates these estimates, assumptions and judgments, including those related 
to  the  calculation  of  pension  and  postretirement  benefits,  unbilled  revenues,  and  the  recoverability  of  certain 
assets, including regulatory assets.   The Company bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical 
experience and current operating environment.  Changes in any of the variables that are used for the Company’s 
estimates, assumptions and judgments may lead to significantly different financial statement results.  

Our critical accounting policies are set forth below.

Regulatory Accounting 

We  maintain  our  books  and  records  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United 
States of America.  Middlesex and certain of its subsidiaries, which account for approximately 88% of Operating 
Revenues and 99% of Total Assets, are subject to regulation in the states in which they operate. Those companies 
are required to maintain their accounts in accordance with regulatory authorities’ rules and guidelines, which may 
differ from other authoritative accounting pronouncements. In those instances, the Company follows the guidance 
in  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  Accounting  Standards  Codification  Topic  980  Regulated
Operations (Regulatory Accounting). 

In  accordance  with  Regulatory  Accounting,  costs  and  obligations  are  deferred  if  it  is  probable  that  these  items 
will be recognized for rate-making purposes in future rates. Accordingly, we have recorded costs and obligations, 
which  will  be  amortized  over  various  future  periods.  Any  change  in  the  assessment  of  the  probability  of  rate-
making treatment will require us to change the accounting treatment of the deferred item. We have no reason to 
believe any of the deferred items that are recorded will be treated differently by the regulators in the future.  

31

Revenues

Revenues from metered customers include amounts billed on a cycle basis and unbilled amounts estimated from 
the last meter reading date to the end of the accounting period. The estimated unbilled amounts are determined by 
utilizing  factors  which  may  include  historical  consumption  usage,  current  weather  patterns  and  economic 
conditions. Differences between estimated revenues and actual billings are recorded in a subsequent period.  

Revenues from unmetered customers are billed at a fixed tariff rate in advance at the beginning of each service 
period and are recognized in revenue ratably over the service period.

Revenues  from  the  Perth  Amboy  management  contract  are  comprised  of  fixed  and  variable  fees.  Fixed  fees, 
which have been set for the life of the contract, are billed monthly and recorded as earned. Variable fees, which 
are based on billings and other factors, are recorded upon approval of the amount by Perth Amboy. The variable 
fees are not a material component of the management contract. 

Revenues from USA’s operations and maintenance contract for the Avalon water utility, sewer utility and storm 
water system are fixed for the life of the contract, are billed monthly and recorded as earned.  USA also provides 
services to Avalon in addition to the base services provided under the operation and maintenance contract.  These 
additional services are recorded as earned and billed upon approval of Avalon. 

Retirement Benefit Plans 

We  maintain  a  noncontributory  defined  benefit  pension  plan  (Pension  Plan)  which  covers  all  currently  active 
employees who were hired prior to April 1, 2007.  In addition, the Company maintains an unfunded supplemental 
plan for its executive officers. 

The Company has a retirement benefit plan other than pensions (Other Benefits Plan) for substantially all of its 
retired employees. Employees hired after March 31, 2007 are not eligible to participate in the Other Benefits Plan. 
Coverage includes healthcare and life insurance.   

The  costs  for  providing  retirement  benefits  are  dependent  upon  numerous  factors,  including  actual  plan 
experience  and  assumptions  of  future  experience.    Future  retirement  benefit  plan  obligations  and  expense  will 
depend on future investment performance, changes in future discount rates and various other demographic factors 
related  to  the  population  participating  in  the  Company’s  retirement  benefit  plans,  all  of  which  can  change 
significantly in future years.

The allocation by asset category of retirement benefit plan assets at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

The primary assumptions used for determining future postretirement benefit plans’ obligations and costs are as 
follows: 

(cid:120) Discount Rate - calculated based on market rates for long-term, high-quality corporate bonds specific to 

our Pension Plan and Other Benefits Plan’s asset allocation;  

(cid:120) Compensation Increase - based on management projected future employee compensation increases; 
(cid:120) Long-Term  Rate  of  Return  -  determined  based  on  historical  returns  and  our  asset  allocation  for  our 

Pension Plan and Other Benefits Plan assets; 

32

(cid:120)  Mortality – In 2014, the Company adopted the use of the recently issued Society of Actuaries’ mortality 
table  (RP  2014)  (Mortality  Improvement  Scale  MP2015  for  the  2015  valuation).  Use  of  the  RP  2014 
mortality  table,  which  extends  the  assumed  life  expectancies  of  our  postretirement  benefit  plan 
participants, resulted in significant increases to our postretirement benefit obligations and costs; and 

(cid:120)  Healthcare Cost Trend Rate - based on management projected future healthcare costs. 

The  discount  rate,  compensation  increase  rate  and  long-term  rate  of  return  utilized  for  determining  our 
postretirement benefit plans’ future obligations as of December 31, 2015 are as follows: 

Discount Rate
Compensation Increase
Long-term Rate of Return

Pension Plan
4.26%
3.00%
7.50%

Other Benefits Plan
4.26%
3.00%
7.50%

For the 2015 valuation, costs and obligations for our Other Benefits Plan assumed a 9.0% annual rate of increase 
in the per capita cost of covered healthcare benefits in 2016 with the annual rate of increase declining 1.0% per 
year for 2017-2019 and 0.5% per year for 2020-2021, resulting in an annual rate of increase in the per capita cost 
of covered healthcare benefits of 5% by year 2021.  

The  following  is  a  sensitivity  analysis  for  certain  actuarial  assumptions  used  in  determining  projected  benefit 
obligations (PBO) and expenses for our postretirement benefit plans:

Discount Rate 1% Increase

ITEM 7A.  QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. 

We are exposed to market risk associated with changes in interest rates and commodity prices. The Company is 
subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal course of business.  Our policy is to manage interest 
rates through the use of fixed rate long-term debt and, to a lesser extent, variable rate long-term and short-term 
debt.  The Company’s interest rate risk related to existing fixed rate, long-term debt is not material due to the term 
of the majority of our First Mortgage Bonds, which have final maturity dates ranging from 2018 to 2047.  Over 
the next twelve months, approximately $5.7 million of the current portion of existing long-term debt instruments 
will mature. The Company manages its interest rate risk related to existing variable-rate long-term and short-term 
debt  by  limiting  our  variable  rate  exposure.    Applying  a  hypothetical  change  in  the  rate  of  interest  charged  by 
10% on those fixed- and variable-rate borrowings would not have a material effect on our earnings.   

Our risks associated with commodity price increases for chemicals, electricity and other commodities are reduced 
through  contractual  arrangements  and  the  ability  to  recover  price  increases  through  rates.  Non-performance  by 
these commodity suppliers could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position 
and cash flows. 

We  are  exposed  to  credit  risk  for  both  our  Regulated  and  Non-Regulated  business  segments.  Our  Regulated 
operations serve residential, commercial, industrial and municipal customers while our Non-Regulated operations 
engage in business activities with developers, government entities and other customers. Our primary credit risk is 
exposure to customer default on contractual obligations and the  associated loss that may be incurred due to the 
non-payment of customer accounts receivable balances. Our credit risk is managed through established credit and 
collection  policies  which  are  in  compliance  with  applicable  regulatory  requirements  and  involve  monitoring  of 
customer  exposure  and  the  use  of  credit  risk  mitigation  measures  such  as  letters  of  credit  or  prepayment 
arrangements.  Our  credit  portfolio  is  diversified  with  no  significant  customer  or  industry  concentrations.  In 
addition,  our  Regulated  businesses  are  generally  able  to  recover  all  prudently  incurred  costs  including 
uncollectible customer accounts receivable expenses and collection costs through rates. 

The  Company's  retirement  benefit  plan  assets  are  exposed  to  the  market  prices  of  debt  and  equity  securities. 
Changes to the Company's retirement benefit plan assets’ value can impact the Company's retirement benefit plan 
expense,  funded  status  and  future  minimum  funding  requirements.  Our  risk  is  reduced  through  our  ability  to 
recover retirement benefit plan costs through rates.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Middlesex Water Company 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of capital stock and 
long-term  debt  of  Middlesex  Water  Company  (the  “Company”)  as  of  December  31,  2015  and  2014,  and  the 
related consolidated statements of income, common stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in 
the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of 
the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial 
statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the 
accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
financial  position  of  Middlesex  Water  Company  as  of  December  31,  2015  and  2014,  and  the  results  of  their 
operations  and  their  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  years  in  the  three-year  period  ended  December  31,  2015,  in 
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board 
(United States), Middlesex Water Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, 
based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated March 4, 2016 expressed an 
unqualified opinion.

MIDDLESEX WATER COMPANY 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Note 1 – Organization, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Developments 

 (a)  Organization  -  Middlesex  Water  Company  (Middlesex)  is  the  parent  company  and  sole  shareholder  of 
Tidewater Utilities, Inc. (Tidewater), Tidewater Environmental Services, Inc. (TESI), Pinelands Water Company 
(Pinelands Water) and Pinelands Wastewater Company (Pinelands Wastewater) (collectively, Pinelands), Utility 
Service Affiliates, Inc. (USA), Utility Service Affiliates (Perth Amboy) Inc. (USA-PA) and Twin Lakes Utilities, 
Inc. (Twin Lakes).  Southern Shores Water Company, LLC (Southern Shores) and White Marsh Environmental 
Systems, Inc. (White Marsh) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tidewater.  

Middlesex Water Company has operated  as a water utility in New Jersey  since 1897, in Delaware, through our 
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Tidewater,  since  1992  and  in  Pennsylvania,  through  our  wholly-owned  subsidiary, 
Twin  Lakes,  since  2009.    We  are  in  the  business  of  collecting,  treating,  distributing  and  selling  water  for 
domestic, commercial, municipal, industrial and fire protection purposes. We also operate New Jersey municipal 
water, wastewater and storm water systems under contract and provide unregulated water and wastewater services 
in New Jersey and Delaware through our subsidiaries. We also have an investment in a joint venture, Ridgewood 
Green RME, LLC, that owns and operates facilities which optimize the production of electricity at the Village of 
Ridgewood,  New  Jersey  wastewater  treatment  plant  and  other  municipal  facilities.    Our  rates  charged  to 
customers  for  water  and  wastewater  services,  the  quality  of  services  we  provide  and  certain  other  matters  are 
regulated  in  New  Jersey,  Delaware  and  Pennsylvania  by  the  New  Jersey  Board  of  Public  Utilities  (NJBPU), 
Delaware  Public  Service  Commission  (DEPSC)  and  Pennsylvania  Public  Utilities  Commission  (PAPUC), 
respectively. Our USA, USA-PA and White Marsh subsidiaries are not regulated utilities.  

(b) Principles of Consolidation – The financial statements for Middlesex and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the 
Company) are reported on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been 
eliminated.    Other  financial  investments  in  which  the  Company  holds  a  50%  or  less  voting  interest  and  cannot 
exercise control over the operation and policies of the investments are accounted for under the equity method of 
accounting.  Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its investment interests in Non Utility 
Assets and its percentage share of the earnings or losses of the investees in Other Income (Expense). 

(c)  System  of  Accounts  –  Middlesex,  Pinelands  Water  and  Pinelands  Wastewater  maintain  their  accounts  in 
accordance  with  the  Uniform  System  of  Accounts  prescribed  by  the  NJBPU.  Tidewater,  TESI  and  Southern 
Shores maintain their accounts in accordance with DEPSC requirements.  Twin Lakes maintains its accounts in 
accordance with PAPUC requirements. 

(d)  Regulatory  Accounting  -  We  maintain  our  books  and  records  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America.  Middlesex and certain of its subsidiaries, which account for 
88% of Operating Revenues and 99% of Total Assets, are subject to regulation in the state in which they operate. 
Those  companies  are  required  to  maintain  their  accounts  in  accordance  with  regulatory  authorities’  rules  and 
guidelines,  which  may  differ  from  other  authoritative  accounting  pronouncements.    In  those  instances,  the 
Company  follows  the  guidance  provided  in  Accounting  Standards  Codification  (ASC)  980,  Regulated 
Operations. 

In accordance with ASC 980, Regulated Operations, costs and obligations are deferred if it is probable that these 
items  will  be  recognized  for  rate-making  purposes  in  future  rates.  Accordingly,  we  have  recorded  costs  and 
obligations, which will be amortized over various future periods. Any change in the assessment of the probability 
of  rate-making  treatment  will  require  us  to  change  the  accounting  treatment  of  the  deferred  item.  We  have  no 
reason to believe any of the  deferred items that are recorded will  be  treated differently by the regulators in the 
future.  For additional information, see Note 2 – Rate and Regulatory Matters. 

(e)  Retirement  Benefit  Plans  -  We  maintain  a  noncontributory  defined  benefit  pension  plan  (Pension  Plan) 
which covers substantially all active employees who were hired prior to April 1, 2007.  In addition, the Company 
41 

 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
maintains an unfunded supplemental plan for its executive officers. The Company has a retirement benefit plan 
other  than  pensions  (Other  Benefits  Plan)  for  substantially  all  of  its  retired  employees.  Employees  hired  after 
March 31, 2007 are not eligible to participate in this plan. Coverage includes healthcare and life insurance.   

The  Company’s  costs  for  providing  retirement  benefits  are  dependent  upon  numerous  factors,  including  actual 
plan  experience  and  assumptions  of  future  experience.    Retirement  benefit  plan  obligations  and  expense  are 
determined based on investment performance, discount rates and various other demographic factors related to the 
population participating in the Company’s retirement benefit plans, all of which can change significantly in future 
years. For more information on the Company’s Retirement Benefit Plans, see Note 7 – Employee Benefit Plans. 

(f) Utility Plant – Utility Plant is stated at original cost as defined for regulatory purposes. Property accounts are 
charged with the cost of betterments and major replacements of property. Cost includes direct material, labor and 
indirect  charges  for  pension  benefits  and  payroll  taxes.  The  cost  of  labor,  materials,  supervision  and  other 
expenses incurred in making repairs and minor replacements and in maintaining the properties is charged to the 
appropriate expense accounts. At December 31, 2015, there was no event or change in circumstance that would 
indicate that the carrying amount of any long-lived asset was not recoverable. 

(g) Depreciation – Depreciation is computed by each regulated member of the Company utilizing a rate approved 
by  the  applicable  regulatory  authority.  The  accumulated  provision  for  depreciation  is  charged  with  the  cost  of 
property retired, less salvage.  The following table sets forth the range of depreciation rates for the major utility 
plant  categories  used  to  calculate  depreciation  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2015,  2014  and  2013.  These 
rates have been approved by the NJBPU, DEPSC or PAPUC: 

Source of Supply  1.15% -   3.44% 
Pumping 
2.87% -   5.39% 
Water Treatment  1.65% -   7.09% 
2.08% - 17.84% 
General Plant 

Transmission and Distribution (T&D): 
1.10%  -   3.13% 
T&D – Mains 
2.12%  -   3.16% 
T&D – Services 
1.61%  -   4.63% 
T&D – Other 

Non-regulated  fixed  assets  consist  primarily  of  office  buildings,  furniture  and  fixtures,  and  transportation 
equipment. These assets are recorded at original cost and depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful 
lives, ranging from 3 to 40 years. 

(h) Preliminary Survey and Investigation (PS&I) Costs – In the design of water and wastewater systems that 
the Company ultimately intends to construct, own and operate certain expenditures are incurred to advance those 
project activities. These PS&I costs are recorded as deferred charges on the balance sheet because these costs are 
expected  to  be  recovered  through  future  rates  charged  to  customers  as  the  underlying  projects  are  placed  into 
service  as  utility  plant.    If  it  is  subsequently  determined  that  costs  for  a  project  recorded  as  PS&I  are  not 
recoverable through rates charged to our customers, the applicable PS&I costs are recorded as Other Expense on 
the statement of income at that time.  

(i)  Customers’  Advances  for  Construction  (CAC)  –  Utility  plant  and/or  cash  advances  are  provided  to  the 
Company by customers, real estate developers and builders in order to extend utility service to their properties.   
These  transactions  are  recorded  as  CAC.  Contractual  Refunds  of  CACs  in  the  form  of  cash  are  made  by  the 
Company  and  are  based  on  either  additional  operating  revenues  generated  from  new  customers  or  as  new 
customers are connected to the respective system.  After all refunds are made and/or contract terms have expired, 
any remaining balance is transferred to Contributions in Aid of Construction. 

Contributions in Aid of Construction (CIAC) – CIAC include direct non-refundable contributions of utility 
plant and/or cash and the portion of CAC that becomes non-refundable. 

CAC  and  CIAC  are  not  depreciated  in  accordance  with  regulatory  requirements.    In  addition,  these  amounts 
reduce the investment base for purposes of setting rates.  

42 

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(j) Allowance  for  Funds  Used  During  Construction  (AFUDC)  -  Middlesex  and  its  regulated  subsidiaries 
capitalize AFUDC, which represents the cost of financing projects during construction. AFUDC is added to the 
construction costs of individual projects exceeding specific cost and construction period thresholds established for 
each company and then depreciated along with the rest of the utility plant’s costs over its estimated useful life. 
AFUDC is  calculated  using  each company’s  weighted cost  of debt and equity as approved in their most recent 
respective regulatory rate order. The AFUDC rates for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 for 
Middlesex and Tidewater are as follows: 

Middlesex
Tidewater

2015
6.72%
7.92%

2014
7.03%
7.91%

2013
7.34%
7.91%

(k) Accounts  Receivable  –  We  record  bad  debt  expense  based  on  historical  write-offs  combined  with  an 
evaluation  of  current  conditions.  The  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  was  $0.8  million  and  $0.7  million  as  of 
December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, bad debt 
expense was $0.8 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively.  For the years ended December 31, 2015, 
2014  and  2013,  write-offs  were  $0.6  million,  $0.6  million  and  $0.9  million,  respectively.  Receivables  not 
expected to be received in 2016 are included as non-current assets in Operations Contracts, Developer and Other 
Receivables. 

(l) Revenues - Retail customer invoices for regulated utility service are typically comprised of two components; a 
fixed service charge and a volumetric or consumption charge. Revenues from retail customers, except Tidewater 
fixed service charges, include amounts billed in arrears on a cycle basis and unbilled amounts estimated from the 
last meter reading date to the end of the accounting  period. The estimated unbilled amounts are determined by 
utilizing  factors  which  include  historical  volumetric  or  consumption  usage  and  current  climate  and  economic 
conditions.  Actual  billings  may  differ  from  our  estimates.  Tidewater  customers  are  billed  in  advance  for  their 
fixed service charge and these revenues are recognized as the service is provided to the customer.    

Southern Shores is an unmetered system. Customers are billed a fixed service charge in advance at the beginning 
of each month and revenues are recognized as earned. 

Customers in portions of the TESI system are billed a fixed service charge in arrears.   

Revenues  from  the  City  of  Perth  Amboy  management  contract  are  comprised  of  fixed  and  variable  fees.  Fixed 
fees, which have been set for the life of the contract, are billed monthly and recorded as earned. Variable fees, 
which are not significant, are recorded upon approval of the amount by the City of Perth Amboy. 

Revenues  from  USA’s  operations  and  maintenance  contract  for  the  Borough  of  Avalon,  New  Jersey  (Avalon) 
water  utility,  sewer utility  and storm  water system are fixed for the life of the contract,  are  billed monthly  and 
recorded  as  earned.    USA  also  provides  services  to  Avalon  in  addition  to  the  base  services  provided  under  the 
operation and maintenance contract.  These additional services are recorded as earned and billed upon approval of 
Avalon.

(m) Deferred Charges and Other Assets - Unamortized Debt Expense is amortized over the lives of the related 
issues. Restricted Cash represents proceeds from loans entered into through state financing programs and is held 
in trusts. The proceeds are restricted for specific capital expenditures and debt service requirements.   

(n) Income Taxes - Middlesex files a consolidated federal income tax return for the Company and income taxes 
are allocated based on the separate return method.  Investment tax credits have been deferred and are amortized 
over the estimated useful life of the related property.  For more information on income taxes, see Note 3 – Income 
Taxes.

(o) Statements of Cash Flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid 
investments with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents 
represent bank balances and money market funds with investments maturing in less than 90 days. 

 (p) Use of Estimates - Conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 
requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  in  the  financial 
statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

(q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

Revenue  Recognition  -  In  May  2014,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued  an  update  to 
authoritative guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. The update replaces most of the existing 
guidance with a single  set  of  principles  for  recognizing revenue from  contracts with  customers. The FASB has 
deferred  the  effective  date  of  these  new  revenue  recognition  standards  by  one  year  to  January  1,  2018.      The 
Company is currently analyzing the impact this standard will have on our financial statements. 

Consolidation - In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that amends the consolidation analysis for variable 
interest entities (“VIEs”) as well as voting interest entities. The amendments under the new guidance modify the 
evaluation  of  whether  limited  partnerships  and  similar  legal  entities  are  VIEs  or  voting  interest  entities  and 
eliminate  the  presumption  that  a  general  partner  should  consolidate  a  limited  partnership.  The  guidance  is 
effective January 1, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance may be applied retrospectively to each 
prior  reporting  period  presented  or  retrospectively  with  a  cumulative  effect  adjustment  to  retained  earnings  for 
initial application of the guidance at the date of adoption. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material 
impact on the Company’s financial statements. 

Debt  Issuance  Costs  -  In  April  2015,  the  FASB  issued  an  update  to  authoritative  guidance  related  to  the 
presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet, requiring companies to present debt issuance costs as a 
direct deduction from the carrying value of debt, which the Company will adopt beginning January 1, 2016. The 
new guidance must be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. The adoption of this guidance will 
have no impact on the Company’s statements of income or cash flows and will not have a material impact on the 
Company’s balance sheet. 

Inventory  -  In  July  2015,  the  FASB  issued  guidance  on  simplifying  the  measurement  of  inventory.  The  new 
guidance replaces the current lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost or net realizable value test when 
cost  is  determined  on  a  first-in,  first-out  or  average  cost  basis.  The  guidance  is  effective  January  1,  2017  with 
early  adoption  permitted.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance  is  not  expected  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the 
Company’s financial statements. 

Deferred  Income  Taxes  –  In  November  2015,  the  FASB  issued  guidance  on  the  classification  of  deferred  tax 
assets  and  deferred  tax  liabilities,  requiring  entities  to  present  them  as  noncurrent  on  the  balance  sheet.  The 
guidance is effective January 1, 2016 and will not have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheet. 

Recognition  and  Measurement  of  Financial  Assets  and  Financial  Liabilities  -  In  January  2016,  the  FASB 
issued guidance which (i) requires all investments in equity securities, including other ownership interests such as 
partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies, to be carried at fair value through net 
income,  (ii)  requires  an  incremental  recognition  and  disclosure  requirement  related  to  the  presentation  of  fair 
value  changes  of  financial  liabilities  for  which  the  fair  value  option  has  been  elected,  (iii)  amends  several 
disclosure  requirements,  including  the  methods  and  significant  assumptions  used  to  estimate  fair  value  or  a 
description of the changes in the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value, and (iv) requires disclosure 
of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost at the amount that would be received 
to  sell  the  asset  or  paid  to  transfer  the  liability.  The  guidance  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after 
December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be applied retrospectively with a 
cumulative  effect  adjustment  to  retained  earnings  for  initial  application  of  the  guidance  at  the  date  of  adoption 

44 

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(modified retrospective method). The Company is currently analyzing the impact this standard will have on our 
financial statements. 

There are no other new adopted or proposed accounting guidance that the Company is aware of that could have a 
material impact on the Company’s financial statements. 

(r) Recent Developments 

Middlesex Base Water Rate Increase - In the third quarter of 2015, Middlesex implemented a base water rate 
increase of $5.0 million. The base water rate increase was necessitated by declining consumption by Middlesex’s 
Commercial  and  Industrial  class  customers,  increasing  benefit  costs  for  active  and  retired  employees,  capital 
infrastructure investments, and regulation-driven increases in other operations and maintenance costs.  See Note 2 
– Rate and Regulatory Matters below for further discussion of this base water rate increase.  

Pinelands and Twin Lakes Rate Increase Requests – In the fourth quarter of 2015, Pinelands Water, Pinelands 
Wastewater and Twin  Lakes  filed  base rate  increase requests with their respective utility commissions, seeking 
permission  to  increase  base  rates  by  approximately  $0.3  million,  $0.2  million  and  $0.2  million  per  year, 
respectively.  See Note 2 – Rate and Regulatory Matters below for further discussion of these base rate increase 
requests.  

Note 2 - Rate and Regulatory Matters 

Rate Matters 

Middlesex - In August 2015, Middlesex’s Petition to the NJBPU seeking permission to increase base water rates 
was  concluded,  based  on  a  negotiated  settlement,  resulting  in  an  increase  in  annual  operating  revenues  of  $5.0 
million.  The base water rate increase request of $9.5 million, filed in March 2015, was necessitated by declining 
consumption by Middlesex’s Commercial and Industrial class customers, increasing benefit costs for active and 
retired  employees,  capital  infrastructure  investments  and  regulation-driven  increases  in  other  operations  and 
maintenance  costs.  The new  base  water rates  are  designed to recover the increased  costs and lost revenues, as 
well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $219.0 million, based on a return on equity of 9.75%.  The rate 
increase  became  effective  on  August  29,  2015,  which  was  significantly  earlier  than  under  standard  procedural 
schedules.   Concurrent  with the increase Middlesex was required to  reset its Distribution System  Improvement 
Charge  (DSIC)  to  zero.  A  DSIC  is  a  rate-mechanism  that  allows  water  utilities  to  recover  investments  in,  and 
generate a return on, qualifying capital improvements to their water distribution system made between base rate 
proceedings. The Middlesex DSIC had been in effect since May 2015, and had generated less than $0.1 million of 
revenues. 

In June 2014, Middlesex’s Petition to the NJBPU seeking permission to increase base water rates was partially 
approved, granting an increase in annual operating revenues of $4.2 million.  The originally-filed base water rate 
increase  request  of  $10.6  million,  filed  in  November  2013  (subsequently  revised  to  $8.1  million,  primarily 
resulting from lower employee benefit plan costs), was necessitated by capital investments Middlesex had made, 
or  committed  to  make,  increased  operations  and  maintenance  costs  and  reduced  revenues  resulting  from  the 
expiration  of  a  wholesale  water  sales  contract  with  the  Borough  of  Sayreville,  New  Jersey  in  August  2013.  In 
addition, Middlesex’s largest retail water customer, Hess Corporation, ceased its oil refining operations at its Port 
Reading, New Jersey facility in February 2013.  The new base water rates were designed to recover the increased 
costs and lost revenues, as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $208.6 million, based on a return on 
equity of 9.75%.  The rate increase became effective on July 20, 2014. 

Tidewater  -  The  DEPSC  approved  a  $0.8  million  increase  in  Tidewater’s  annual  base  water  rates,  effective 
August 19, 2014.  The originally-filed base water rate increase request of $3.9 million, filed in November 2013 
(subsequently  revised  to  $2.5  million,  primarily  resulting  from  lower  employee  benefit  plan  costs),  was 
necessitated by capital investments Tidewater had made, or committed to make, as well as increased operations 
and  maintenance  costs.    In  connection  with  the  rate  increase  application,  Tidewater  implemented  a  DEPSC 

45 

 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
approved  6.5%  interim  rate  increase,  subject  to  refund,  on  February  6,  2014.    Since  the  final  required  and 
approved  rate  increase  was  less  than  the  interim  rate  increase,  Tidewater  refunded  $0.4  million  of  previously 
deferred revenues to customers in the form of a one-time credit to each customer account.  

Effective  January  1,  2016,  Tidewater  increased  its  DEPSC-approved  DSIC  rate,  which  is  expected  to  generate 
additional revenues of approximately $0.2 million annually. 

In  April  2014,  the  DEPSC  approved  Tidewater’s  50-year  agreement  with  the  United  States  Department  of 
Defense  for  the  privatization  of  the  water  system  of  Dover  Air  Force  Base  (DAFB)  in  Dover,  Delaware.    On 
October 1, 2014, Tidewater assumed ownership of the DAFB water utility assets and began providing regulated 
water service to DAFB under Tidewater’s DEPSC approved tariff rates.

TESI - On October 1, 2013, TESI closed on its DEPSC-approved purchase of the wastewater utility assets of the 
Plantations development (the Plantations) for $0.4 million and began providing wastewater services to the 600 
residential customers in the Plantations in Delaware.  Upon commencing service to the Plantations, annual 
revenues were approximately $0.2 million.  In October 2014, TESI implemented a 33.5% Plantations base 
wastewater rate increase (approximately $0.1 million annually). 

Pinelands - In October 2015, Pinelands Water and Pinelands Wastewater filed separate petitions with the NJBPU 
seeking permission to increase base rates by approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million per year, respectively.  
These  requests  were  necessitated  by  capital  infrastructure  investments  both  companies  have  made,  or  have 
committed  to  make,  increased  operations  and  maintenance  costs  and  lower  non-fixed  fee  revenues  for  both 
companies.  We cannot predict whether the NJBPU will  ultimately approve, deny, or reduce the amount of the 
requests.  A decision by the NJBPU in either matter is not expected until the third quarter of 2016.   

In  March  2013,  the  NJBPU  approved  a  combined  $0.2  million  increase  in  Pinelands  Water  and  Pinelands 
Wastewater’s annual base water and wastewater revenues.  In its initial request, filed in August 2012, Pinelands 
had  sought  an  increase  of  $0.3  million  on  a  combined  basis.    The  rate  increase  for  water  service,  which  was 
approximately 50% of the approved increase, was phased-in over one year. 

Southern Shores - Under the terms of a multi-year DEPSC-approved agreement expiring in 2020, customer rates 
will increase on January 1st of each year to generate additional annual revenue of $0.1 million with each increase.   

Twin Lakes - In November 2015, Twin Lakes filed a Petition with the PAPUC seeking permission to increase its 
base water rates by approximately $0.2 million per year.  This request was necessitated by capital infrastructure 
investments Twin Lakes has made, or committed to make, and increased operations and maintenance costs. We 
cannot  predict  whether  the  PAPUC  will  ultimately  approve,  deny,  or  reduce  the  amount  of  the  requests.    A 
decision by the PAPUC is not expected until the third quarter of 2016.

Regulatory Matters 

We  have  recorded  certain  costs  as  regulatory  assets  because  we  expect  full  recovery  of,  or  are  currently 
recovering, these costs in the rates we charge customers. These deferred costs have been excluded from rate base 
and, therefore, we are not earning a return on the unamortized balances.  These items are detailed as follows:

Retirement  benefits  include  pension  and  other  retirement  benefits  that  have  been  recorded  on  the  Consolidated 
Balance  Sheet  in  accordance  with  the  guidance  provided  in  ASC  715,  Compensation  –  Retirement  Benefits.  
These  amounts  represent  obligations  in  excess  of  current  funding,  which  the  Company  believes  will  be  fully 
recovered in rates set by the regulatory authorities.  

The  recovery  period  for  income  taxes  is  dependent  upon  when  the  temporary  differences  between  the  tax  and 
book treatment of various items reverse. 

The Company uses composite depreciation rates for its regulated utility assets, which is currently an acceptable 
method  under  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  is  widely  used  in  the  utility  industry.  Historically, 
under the composite depreciation method, the anticipated costs of removing assets upon retirement are provided 
for  over  the  life  of  those  assets  as  a  component  of  depreciation  expense.  The  Company  recovers  certain  asset 
retirement  costs  through  rates  charged  to  customers  as  an  approved  component  of  depreciation  expense.  As  of 
December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has approximately $10.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively, of 
expected costs of removal recovered currently in rates in excess of actual costs incurred as regulatory liabilities.  

The Company is recovering in current rates acquisition premiums totaling $0.6 million over the remaining lives of 
the underlying Utility Plant. These deferred costs have been included in rate base as utility plant and a return is 
being earned on the unamortized balances during the recovery periods.

The statutory review periods for income tax returns for the years prior to 2012 have been closed.  The Company 
has been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that the Company’s 2014 federal income tax return has 
been  selected  for  examination.    In  the  event  that  there  is  interest  and  penalties  associated  with  income  tax

adjustments  in  future  examinations,  these  amounts  will  be  reported  under  interest  expense  and  other  expense, 
respectively.  Other  than  the  effects  of  the  provision  against  refundable  taxes  discussed  below,  there  are  no 
unrecognized tax benefits resulting from prior period tax positions.   

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  The components of the net 
deferred tax liability are as follows:

The  IRS  has  issued  final  regulations  pertaining  to  the  deductibility  of  costs  that  qualify  as  repairs  on  tangible 
property. The regulations, which the Company adopted by filing a change in accounting method request with its 
2014  Federal  income  tax  return,  redefine  the  characteristics  previously  used  by  the  Company  to  determine  tax 
deductibility  of  expenditures  associated  with  tangible  property.  Under  the  regulations,  the  IRS  has  provided 
guidelines  for  certain  industries,  but  not  for  regulated  public  water  utilities.  Consequently,  the  Company 
undertook  a  comprehensive  study  to  support  the  adoption  and  integration  of  the  new  regulations  into  its  tax 
policies prospectively, and to also determine the level of deductibility for income tax purposes for expenditures 
incurred  on  projects  completed  in  prior  years  where  such  expenditures  were  capitalized,  but  may  now  be 
considered  currently  deductible  as  repairs  under  the  new  regulations.    Included  in  its  2014  Federal  income  tax 
return, filed in September 2015, the Company submitted support which results in a net reduction of $17.6 million 
in taxes due to the federal government.  While the Company believes that the deduction for qualifying tangible 
property repair costs included in its tax return is proper, it could be challenged under an examination by the IRS. 
Therefore, the Company has recorded a provision against refundable taxes of $2.3 million. The Company believes 
that  the  net  operating  loss  carry-forward,  expiring  in  2034,  resulting  from  adoption  of  the  regulations 
(approximately $7.8 million) is more likely than not to be recovered. 

It  is  probable  that  any  net  tax  benefits  that  resulted  from  adopting  the  study  findings  will  be  considered  in 
determining the revenue requirement used to set base rates for the Company in a  future regulatory proceeding. 
Consequently, adoption of the new regulations did not and will not have a significant impact on the Company’s 
financial  statements  or  effective  tax  rate.  Adoption  of  these  new  regulations  resulted  in  a  $10.3  million  federal 
income tax refund request, a $1.5 million increase in regulatory assets for additional expenses incurred expected 
to be recovered from customers in the future, a $5.0 million decrease in accrued taxes for the amount of refund 
applied against future tax payments and a $16.8 million increase in accumulated deferred income taxes. 

Note 4 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities 

Water  Supply  -  Middlesex  has  an  agreement  with  the  New  Jersey  Water  Supply  Authority  (NJWSA)  for  the 
purchase of untreated water through November 30, 2023, which provides for an average purchase of 27.0 million 
gallons a day (mgd). Pricing is set annually by the NJWSA through a public rate making process. The agreement 
has  provisions  for  additional  pricing  in  the  event  Middlesex  overdrafts  or  exceeds  certain  monthly  and  annual 
thresholds. 

Middlesex also has an agreement with a non-affiliated regulated water utility for the purchase of treated water. 
This  agreement,  which  expires  February  27,  2021,  provides  for  the  minimum  purchase  of  3.0  mgd  of  treated 
water with provisions for additional purchases.

Contract  Operations  -  USA-PA  operates  the  City  of  Perth  Amboy,  New  Jersey’s  (Perth  Amboy)  water  and 
wastewater systems under a 20-year agreement, which expires in 2018.  In connection with the agreement with 
Perth Amboy, USA-PA entered into a 20-year subcontract with a wastewater operating company for the operation 
and maintenance of the Perth Amboy wastewater collection system. The subcontract provides for the sharing of 
certain fixed and variable fees and operating expenses.   

Guarantees  -  In  September  2013,  Middlesex  entered  into  an  agreement  with  the  County  of  Monmouth,  New 
Jersey (Monmouth County) to serve as guarantor of the performance of Applied Water Management, Inc. (AWM) 
to operate a leachate pretreatment facility, owned by Monmouth County, at the Monmouth County Reclamation 
Center in Tinton Falls, New Jersey.  Middlesex expects  to act as  guarantor  of AWM’s  performance through at 
least August 2018 and is contractually obligated to act as guarantor of AWM’s performance through 2028 unless 
another guarantor, acceptable to Monmouth County, is identified.  In addition, Middlesex entered into agreements 
with AWM and Natural Systems Utilities, Inc. (NSU), the parent company of AWM, whereby, Middlesex earns a 
fee  for  providing  the  guaranty  of  AWM’s  performance  to  Monmouth  County,  Middlesex  provides  operational 
support to the project if  necessary, and  AWM  and  NSU, serving  as  guarantor  to  Middlesex  with  respect  to  the 
performance of AWM, indemnify Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to 
Monmouth County.  

Middlesex believes it is unlikely any payments would need to be made under Middlesex’s guaranty of AWM’s 
performance to Monmouth County. If asked to perform under the guaranty to Monmouth County, and, if AWM 
and NSU, as guarantor to Middlesex, do not fulfill their obligations to indemnify Middlesex against any claims 
that  may  arise  under  the  Middlesex  guaranty  to  Monmouth  County,  Middlesex  would  be  required  to  fulfill  the 
remaining  operational  commitments  of  AWM.  As  of  December  31,  2015  and  December  31,  2014,  the  liability 
recognized in Other Non-Current Liabilities on the balance sheet for the guaranty is approximately $0.2 million 
and $0.3 million, respectively. 

Construction –The Company has projected to spend up to $47.3 million in 2016, $45.4 million in 2017 and $67.0 
million in 2018 on its construction program.  The actual amount and timing of capital expenditures is dependent 
on the need for replacement of existing infrastructure, customer growth, residential new home construction and 
sales, project scheduling and continued refinement of project scope and costs. There is no assurance that projected 
customer growth and residential new home construction and sales will occur.  

Litigation – The Company is a defendant in lawsuits in the normal course of business. We believe the resolution 
of pending claims and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated 
financial statements. 

Change  in  Control  Agreements  –  The  Company  has  Change  in  Control  Agreements  with  certain  of  its  officers 
that provide compensation and benefits in the event of termination of employment in connection with a change in 
control of the Company.

The  maturity  dates  for  the  Notes  Payable  as  of  December  31,  2015  are  in  January  2016  and  are  extendable  at  the 
discretion of the Company.   

Interest rates for short-term borrowings are below the prime rate with no requirement for compensating balances. 

Note 6 - Capitalization 

All the transactions discussed below related to the issuance of securities were approved by either the NJBPU or 
DEPSC, except where otherwise noted. 

Common Stock 

The  Company  periodically  issues  shares  of  common  stock  in  connection  with  its  Middlesex  Water  Company 
Investment  Plan  (the  Investment  Plan),  a  direct  share  purchase  and  sale  and  dividend  reinvestment  plan  for 
Middlesex  common  stock.  In  July  2015,  the  Company  registered  an  additional  700,000  common  shares  for 
potential  issuance  under  the  Investment  Plan  with  the  United  States  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission, 
increasing the number of NJBPU-authorized shares to 3.0 million.  The cumulative number of shares issued under 
the  Investment  Plan  at  December  31,  2015  is  2.3  million.    For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2015,  2014  and 
2013, the Company  raised approximately  $1.5  million, $1.5 million and $1.7 million,  respectively, through the 
issuance of shares under the Investment Plan. 

The Company issues shares under a restricted stock plan for certain management employees, which is described 
in Note 7 – Employee Benefit Plans. 

The Company  maintains a stock plan for its outside directors (the Outside Director Stock Compensation Plan). 
For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, 4,795, 5,082 and 5,432 shares, respectively, of common 
stock were granted and issued to the Company’s outside directors under the Outside Director Stock Compensation 
Plan and 72,120 shares remain available for future awards.  The maximum number of shares authorized for grant 
under the Outside Director Stock Compensation Plan is 100,000.   

In the event dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears, no dividends may be declared or paid on the common 
stock of the Company.  At December 31, 2015, no preferred stock dividends were in arrears. 

Preferred Stock 

If four or more quarterly dividends are in arrears, the preferred shareholders, as a class, are entitled to elect two 
members to the Board of Directors in addition to Directors elected by holders of the common stock.  

At December 31, 2015 and 2014,  there  were 0.1  million  shares of  preferred  stock  authorized  and  less than 0.1 
million shares of preferred stock outstanding. There were no preferred stock dividends in arrears.   

50 

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company may not pay any dividends on its common stock unless full cumulative dividends to the preceding 
dividend  date  for  all  outstanding  shares  of  preferred  stock  have  been  paid  or  set  aside  for  payment.  All  such 
preferred dividends have been paid. In addition, if Middlesex were to liquidate, holders of preferred stock would 
be  paid  back  the  stated  value  of  their  preferred  shares  before  any  distributions  could  be  made  to  common 
stockholders.  

The conversion feature of the no par $7.00 Series Cumulative and Convertible Preferred Stock allows the security 
holders  to  exchange  one  convertible  preferred  share  for  twelve  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock.    In 
addition, the Company may redeem up to 10% of the outstanding convertible stock in any calendar year at a price 
equal  to  the  fair  value  of  twelve  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock  for  each  share  of  convertible  stock 
redeemed.  In 2014, 4,293 shares (approximately $0.5 million) of the Company’s no par $7.00 Series Cumulative 
and Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 51,516 shares of common stock. 

The conversion feature of the no par $8.00 Series Cumulative and Convertible Preferred Stock allows the security 
holders  to  exchange  one  convertible  preferred  share  for  13.714  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock.    The 
preferred shares are convertible into common stock at the election of the security holder or Middlesex. In 2013, 
4,000  shares  (approximately  $0.5  million)  of  the  Company’s  no  par  $8.00  Series  Cumulative  and  Convertible 
Preferred Stock were converted into 54,856 shares of common stock.  

Long-term Debt 

In 2014, Tidewater completed a $15.0 million debt transaction.  Tidewater drew down $8.0 million in 2014 and 
the remaining $7.0 million in 2015. $11.0 million of the loan is at a fixed interest rate of 4.45% and $4.0 million 
is  at  a  market-based  variable  interest  rate.  The  proceeds  were  used  to  pay  down  short-term  debt  and  for  other 
general  corporate  purposes.    The  interest  rates  on  the  variable  portion  of  the  loan  can  be  fixed  at  Tidewater’s 
discretion. The final maturity date of all borrowings under this loan agreement is April 2040. 

In  May  2014,  Middlesex  borrowed  approximately  $3.8  million  through  the  New  Jersey  Environmental 
Infrastructure  Trust  (NJEIT)  under  the  New  Jersey  State  Revolving  Fund  (SRF)  loan  program  and  issued  first 
mortgage  bonds  designated  as  Series  VV  (approximately  $2.8  million)  and  Series  WW  (approximately  $0.9 
million).  The interest rate on the Series VV bond is zero and the interest rate on the Series WW bond ranges from 
3.0% to 5.0% depending on the serial maturity date.  The final maturity date for both bonds is August 1, 2033.  
Proceeds were used for the Middlesex 2014 RENEW project, which is part of a program to clean and cement all 
unlined mains in the Middlesex system. 

In 2014, Tidewater borrowed $0.6 million, which represented the balance of a $1.1 million project specific loan 
with the Delaware SRF at an interest rate of 3.45% and final maturity of August 1, 2031.  

Bond Series QQ, RR and SS are term bonds with single maturity dates subsequent to 2020. Principal repayments 
for all series of the Company’s long-term debt except for Bond Series X, Y, Z and AA extend beyond 2020.  The 
aggregate annual principal repayment obligations for all long-term debt over the next five years are shown below:

The  weighted  average  interest  rate  on  all  long-term  debt  at  both  December  31,  2015  and  2014  was  3.87%  and 
3.99%, respectively. Except for the Amortizing Secured Notes ($45.4 million), all of the Company’s outstanding 
long-term  debt  has  been  issued  through  the  New  Jersey  Economic  Development  Authority  ($55.4  million),  the 
NJEIT program ($30.2 million) and the Delaware SRF program ($9.3 million).

Restricted  cash  proceeds  from  New  Jersey  SRF  loans  are  held  in  trusts  until  authorized  for  distribution.  In 
addition, certain restricted cash proceeds from New Jersey SRF loans are held for debt service requirements.  

In 2015 and 2013, the NJEIT de-obligated principal payments of $0.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively, on 
several series of SRF long-term debt. There were no de-obligated principal payments in 2014. 

Substantially all of the  Utility Plant of  the  Company is  subject  to  the lien  of  its mortgage,  which  includes debt 
service  and  capital  ratio  covenants.  The  Company  is  in  compliance  with  all  of  its  mortgage  covenants  and 
restrictions.  

Earnings Per Share 

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the three years ended 
December  31,  2015.  Basic EPS is computed on the  basis of  the weighted  average number of  shares outstanding.  
Diluted EPS assumes the conversion of both the Convertible Preferred Stock $7.00 Series and $8.00 Series.

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 
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 the Company’s long-term debt relating  to Bonds and SRF Notes 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 Bonds and SRF Bonds in the table below are classified 
as Level 2 measurements. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s bonds were as follows:

For other long-term debt for which there was no quoted market price and there is not an active trading market, it 
was not practicable to estimate their fair value (for details, including carrying value, interest rate and due date on 
these  series  of  long-term  debt,  please  refer  to  those  series  noted  as  “Amortizing  Secured  Note”  and  “State 
Revolving  Trust  Note”  on  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Capital  Stock  and  Long-Term  Debt).  The  carrying 
amount of these instruments was $54.7 million and $50.8 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 
Customer advances for construction have a carrying amount of $20.5 million and $22.0 million at December 31, 
2015  and  2014,  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.  

Note 7 - Employee Benefit Plans   

Pension Benefits 

The  Company’s  Pension  Plan  covers  all  active  employees  hired  prior  to  April  1,  2007.  Employees  hired  after 
March  31,  2007  are  not  eligible  to  participate  in  this  plan,  but  can  participate  in  a  defined  contribution  profit 
sharing plan that provides an annual contribution at the discretion of the Company, based upon a percentage of 
the participants’ annual paid compensation. In order to be eligible for contribution, the eligible employee must be 
employed  by  the  Company  on  December  31st  of  the  year  to  which  the  contribution  relates.  In  addition,  the 
Company  maintains  an  unfunded  supplemental  plan  for  its  executive  officers.    The  Accumulated  Benefit 
Obligation for the Company’s Pension Plan at December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $62.3 million and $61.9 million, 
respectively. 

Other Benefits 

The  Company’s  Other  Benefits  Plan  covers  substantially  all  of  its  current  retired  employees.  Employees  hired 
after March 31, 2007 are not eligible to participate in this plan. Coverage includes healthcare and life insurance. 
Accrued retirement benefit costs are recorded each year.   

Regulatory Treatment of Over/Underfunded Retirement Obligations 

Because  the  Company  is  subject  to  regulation  in  the  states  in  which  it  operates,  it  is  required  to  maintain  its 
accounts  in  accordance  with  the  regulatory  authority’s  rules  and  guidelines,  which  may  differ  from  other 
authoritative  accounting  pronouncements.  In  those  instances,  the  Company  follows  the  guidance  of  ASC  980, 
Regulated  Operations.  Based  on  prior  regulatory  practice,  and  in  accordance  with  the  guidance  in  ASC  980, 
Regulated Operations, the Company records underfunded Pension Plan and Other Benefits Plan obligation costs, 
which  otherwise  would  be  recognized  in  Other  Comprehensive  Income  under    ASC  715,  Compensation  – 
Retirement Benefits, as a Regulatory Asset, and expects to recover those costs in rates charged to customers.

The  compensation  increase  assumption  for  the  Other  Benefits  Plan  is  attributable  to  life  insurance  provided  to 
qualifying employees upon their retirement.  The insurance coverage will be determined based on the employee’s 
base compensation as of their retirement date. 

The  Company  adopted  the  use  of  the  most  recent  Society  of  Actuaries’  mortality  table  (RP  2014)  (Mortality 
Improvement  Scale  MP2015  for  the  2015  valuation).  RP  2014  was  first  used  in  the  determination  of  our 
postretirement  benefit  obligations  as  of  December  31,  2014  and  costs  for  2015.  Use  of  the  RP  2014  mortality 
table,  which  extends  the  assumed  life  expectancies  of  our  postretirement  benefit  plan  participants,  resulted  in 
significant increases to our postretirement benefit obligations and costs. 

For the 2015 valuation, costs and obligations for our Other Benefits Plan assumed a 9.0% annual rate of increase 
in the per capita cost of covered healthcare benefits in 2016 with the annual rate of increase declining 1.0% per 
year for 2017-2019 and 0.5% per year for 2020-2021, resulting in an annual rate of increase in the per capita cost 
of covered healthcare benefits of 5% by year 2021.

Two outside investment firms each manage a portion of the Pension Plan asset portfolio. One of those investment 
firms also manages the Other Benefits Plan asset portfolio. Quarterly meetings are held between the Company’s 
Pension Committee of the Board of Directors and the investment managers to review their performance and asset 
allocation.  If  the  actual  asset  allocation  is  outside  the  targeted  range,  the  Pension  Committee  reviews  current 
market  conditions  and  advice  provided  by  the  investment  managers  to  determine  the  appropriateness  of 
rebalancing the portfolio. 

The  objective  of  the  Company  is  to  maximize  the  long-term  return  on  retirement  plan  assets,  relative  to  a 
reasonable level of risk, maintain a diversified investment portfolio and maintain compliance with the Employee 
Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974.  The  expected  long-term  rate  of  return  is  based  on  the  various  asset 
categories  in  which  plan  assets  are  invested  and  the  current  expectations  and  historical  performance  for  these 
categories. 

Equity  securities  include  Middlesex  common  stock  in  the  amounts  of  $1.0  million  (2.0%  of  total  Pension  Plan 
assets) and $0.9 million (1.8 % of total Pension Plan assets) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements 

Accounting  guidance  provides  a  fair  value  hierarchy  that  prioritizes  the  inputs  to  valuation  techniques  used  to 
measure  fair  value.    The  hierarchy  gives  the  highest  priority  to  unadjusted  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for 
identical  assets  or  liabilities  (Level  1  measurements)  and  the  lowest  priority  to  unobservable  inputs  (Level  3 
measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows: 

(cid:120)  Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or 

liabilities in accessible active markets. 

(cid:120)  Level  2  –  Inputs  to  the  valuation  methodology  that  are  observable,  either  directly  or  indirectly,  such  as 
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs 
that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the 
assets  or  liabilities.    If  the  asset  or  liability  has  a  specified  contractual  term,  the  Level  2  input  must  be 
observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. 

(cid:120)  Level  3  –  Inputs  to  the  valuation  methodology  are  unobservable  and  significant  to  the  fair  value 

measurement. 

Certain investments in cash and cash equivalents, equity securities, and commodities are valued based on quoted 
market prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 investments.  Certain investments in cash and cash 
equivalents, equity securities and fixed income securities are valued using prices received from pricing vendors 
that utilize observable inputs and are therefore classified as Level 2 investments.

Benefit Plans Contributions 

For  the  Pension  Plan,  Middlesex  made  total  cash  contributions  of  $3.3  million  in  2015  and  expects  to  make 
approximately $3.3 million of cash contributions in 2016. 

For the Other Benefits Plan, Middlesex made total cash contributions of $1.7 million in 2015 and expects to make 
approximately $1.5 million of cash contributions in 2016. 

401(k) Plan 

The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan, which covers substantially all employees with more than 
1,000 hours of service. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company matches 100% of a participant’s contributions, 
which do not exceed 1% of a participant’s compensation, plus 50% of a participant’s contributions exceeding 1%, 
but not more than 6%.  The Company’s matching contributions were $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.5 million 
for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 

For  those  employees  hired  after  March  31,  2007,  and  still  actively  employed  on  December  31,  2015,  the 
Company  approved,  and  will  fund,  a  discretionary  contribution  of  $0.4  million  which  was  based  on  5.0%  of 
eligible  2015  compensation.    For  both  of  the  years  ended  December  31,  2014  and  2013,  the  Company  made 
discretionary contributions of $0.3 million for those qualifying employees. 

Stock-Based Compensation 

The  Company  has  a  stock  compensation  plan  for  certain  management  employees  (the  2008  Restricted  Stock 
Plan). The Company maintains an escrow account for 0.1 million shares of the Company's common stock for the 
2008  Restricted  Stock  Plan.  Such  stock  is  subject  to  an  agreement  requiring  forfeiture  by  the  employee  in  the 
event  of  termination  of  employment  within  five  years  of  the  award  other  than  as  a  result  of  retirement,  death, 
disability or change in  control. The maximum number of shares authorized for  grant under the 2008 Restricted 
Stock Plan is 0.3 million shares, for which 0.1 million remain as unissued shares. 

The Company recognizes compensation expense at fair value for the restricted stock awards in accordance with  
ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.  Compensation expense is determined by the market value of the 
stock on the date of the award and is being amortized over a five-year period.

Note 8 – Business Segment Data 

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, Delaware and Pennsylvania. This segment also includes regulated wastewater 
systems in New Jersey and Delaware. The  Company is subject  to  regulations as to  its  rates, services and other 
matters by the states of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania 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.  

Inter-segment transactions relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance charges on 
inter-segment loan activities are based on interest rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third 
party lender.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

(1)  Disclosure  controls  and  procedures  are  controls  and  other  procedures  that  are  designed  to  ensure  that 
information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, 
processed,  summarized  and  reported,  within  the  time  periods  specified  in  the  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission’s  rules  and  forms.  Disclosure  controls  and  procedures  include,  without  limitation,  controls  and 
procedures  designed  to  ensure  that  information  required  to  be  disclosed  in  Company  reports  filed  under  the 
Exchange  Act  is  accumulated  and  communicated  to  management,  including  the  Company’s  Chief  Executive 
Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. 
As  required  by  Rule  13a-15  under  the  Exchange  Act,  an  evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  the  design  and 
operation  of  the  Company’s  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  was  conducted  by  the  Company’s  Chief 
Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. 
Based upon that evaluation the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer 
concluded:  

(a) Disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.  
(b) No changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that 
has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting. 
Accordingly, management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in 
all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  

 (2) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

The management of Middlesex Water Company (Middlesex or the Company) is responsible for establishing and 
maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  defined  in  Exchange  Act  Rule  13A-15(f)  and 
15d-15(f). Middlesex’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s 
management  and  Board  of  Directors  of  adequate  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  published  financial 
statements. 

All  internal  control  systems,  no  matter  how  well  designed,  have  inherent  limitations.  Therefore,  even  those 
systems  determined  to  be  effective  can  provide  only  reasonable  assurance  with  respect  to  the  adequacy  of 
financial  statement  preparation  and  presentation.  Middlesex’s  management  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  the 
Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2015.  In  making  this  assessment, 
management  used  the  criteria  set  forth  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Based on our assessment, we 
believe  that  as  of  December  31,  2015,  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  operating  as 
designed and is effective based on those criteria. 

Middlesex’s independent registered public  accounting firm has  audited the  effectiveness  of our  internal control 
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 as stated in their report which is included herein.

(3) Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

Board of Directors and Stockholders 
Middlesex Water Company  

We have audited Middlesex Water Company’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31, 2015 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Middlesex Water Company's management is responsible for 
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control 
over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective 
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial 
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material 
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed 
risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe 
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

An  entity’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the 
reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with 
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America.  An  entity’s  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures  that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail, 
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that 
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations 
of management and directors of the entity; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of 
unauthorized  acquisition,  use,  or  disposition  of  the  entity’s  assets  that  could  have  a  material  effect  on  the  financial 
statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  

In  our  opinion,  Middlesex  Water  Company  maintained,  in  all  material  respects,  effective  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). 

We  also  have  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United 
States),  the  consolidated  balance  sheets  and  consolidated  statements  of  capital  stock  and  long-term  debt  and  the  related 
consolidated  statements  of  income,  common  stockholders’  equity,  and  cash flows  of Middlesex Water  Company  and  our 
report dated March 4, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion.
