Middlesex Water’s Tidewater completes Ocean View water system acquisition

Middlesex Water’s (MSEX) Tidewater Utilities completed its acquisition of the water system assets of the Town of Ocean View in Sussex County, Delaware for $4.6M. The newly acquired TOV water system serves approximately 900 customers, who have been receiving water supply from TUI since the system was constructed in 2008. TUI also has been providing water distribution, meter reading, customer billing, and operational services to TOV during this time through its subsidiary, White Marsh Environmental Systems. On February 19, the Delaware Public Service Commission approved TUI’s application to purchase the water assets of TOV and the right to provide water service to its existing customers.
