NW Natural, a Pacific Northwest gas utility expanding into Texas, offers a 3.94% dividend yield with steady growth backed by rate increases and new projects, making its dividend safer for retirees. Middlesex Water, a New Jersey water utility, faces a costly $255 million PFAS cleanup, which could pressure its finances despite a faster dividend growth rate and a 2.54% yield. NW Natural's stable earnings and expansion contrast with Middlesex's environmental liabilities and higher valuation, favoring NW Natural for income-focused retirement investors. Key upcoming factors include Oregon's regulatory decisions for NW Natural and Middlesex's dividend announcements.
