Item. 8.01. Other Events
PARAGRAPH CORRECTION in press release announcement filed April 28, 2006,
regarding Tidewater Utilities, Inc., a subsidiary of Middlesex Water Company,
filing petition for an increase in rates.
Incorrect Paragraph
-------------------
Presently, the average household served by Tidewater is charged approximately
$40.58 per month for 5,000 gallons of water. The new rate structure, based on

monthly bill of $56.24. Water charges for residential customers would consist of
a $54.08 quarterly facilities charge and a consumption charge of $5.72 per 1,000
gallons.
Corrected Paragraph

Presently, the average household served by Tidewater is charged approximately
$33.61 per month for 5,000 gallons of water. The new rate structure, based on
