Natural Systems Utilities and Middlesex Water Company Announce Joint Venture to Serve Village of Ridgewood, NJ

January 2, 2012/in Press Release

PRESS RELEASE (Hillsboro and Iselin, NJ —January 6, 2012)

Natural Systems Utilities and Middlesex Water Company (NASDAQ:MSEX) yesterday announced the formation of a joint venture, Ridgewood Green RME, LLC, (Ridgewood Green) and the signing of a 20-year public-private partnership with the Village of Ridgewood, NJ whereby Ridgewood Green will design, build, own and operate facilities to optimize the production of electricity at Ridgewood’s municipal wastewater treatment plant. Ridgewood Green will work to optimize the treatment process through the conversion of biogas at the plant to electricity via anaerobic digestion, installation of solar arrays to produce additional electricity and the addition of ultraviolet light for wastewater disinfection. Renewable energy is expected to provide all the electricity required to operate the wastewater treatment plant. In addition, the joint venture has partnered with Bio-Organic Catalyst, LLC (BOC) to provide a very effective organic product to enhance production of biogas as well as reduce odors and grease build-up at the plant. Further value is expected to be derived from a reduction in the amount of residuals, which are a byproduct of the treatment process that will no longer need to be transported off site. Jay Johnston, Executive Vice President of BOC led the development of the contract with the Village and has demonstrated significant success using the product at the plant over the past three years. “NSU and Middlesex Water have developed this environmentally-friendly and cost-effective model for Ridgewood with the assistance of several key partners, including Bio-Organic Catalyst, LLC, HydroQual Engineers and Advanced Solar Products,” said Donald Rodgers, NSU President. “Each of our partners brings significant expertise that contributes to the optimization of the performance of the new facilities,” added Rodgers. “We commend the Village of Ridgewood officials for their foresight in implementing an environmentally progressive and economically self-sufficient initiative,” said Dennis Doll, Middlesex Water Company President and CEO. “This business model capitalizes on the inherent relationship between water, wastewater and renewable energy and provides for an appropriate sharing of environmental and economic value for the benefit of all parties,” added Doll
