The FASB has also issued FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) 157-1 and 157-2. FSP 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases,” and other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement. FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities would include all assets and liabilities other than those meeting the definition of a financial asset or financial liability as defined in paragraph 6 of SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SJW Corp.’s adoption of SFAS 157 and FSP 157-2 did not have a material impact on SJW Corp.’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 8.Balancing and Memorandum Account Recovery Procedures

The California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) issued San Jose Water Company’s most recent general rate case decision in November 2009. As part of that decision, the over-collected balance in the Company’s balancing account for expense offsets for the period January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007 of approximately $1,696 has been reviewed and authorized for inclusion in customer rates as a 12-month customer surcredit.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the balance in San Jose Water Company’s remaining balancing accounts for expense offsets was an under-collection of $843 and over-collection of $1,062, respectively, including interest. These balancing accounts are expected to be reviewed for inclusion in customer rates by the CPUC as part of San Jose Water Company’s next general rate case.

On June 2, 2010, San Jose Water Company filed an advice letter with the CPUC requesting authorization to increase revenues by $5,740 or approximately 2.61%. This increase is intended to recover the accumulated balance in the Mandatory Conservation Revenue Adjustment Memorandum Account (“MCRAM”), which covered the period from August 3, 2009 to May 1, 2010. The CPUC authorized San Jose Water Company to establish a MCRAM to track the revenue impact of mandatory conservation upon San Jose Water Company’s quantity revenue resulting from mandatory conservation instituted by Santa Clara Valley Water District. As directed by the CPUC’s Water Division, any revenue increase would be recovered via a surcharge on the existing quantity rate for a period of twelve months following final approval by the CPUC. All revenue would be recognized immediately after final approval by the CPUC.

Business Strategy:

SJW Corp. focuses its business initiatives in four strategic areas:

 

 (1)Regional regulated water utility operations.

 

 (2)Regional nonregulated water utility related services provided in accordance with the guidelines established by the CPUC.

 

 (3)Out-of-region water and utility related services, primarily in the Western United States.

 

 (4)Real estate investment activities in SJW Land Company.

Regional Regulated Activities

SJW Corp.’s regulated utility operation is conducted through San Jose WaterAs part of its pursuit of the above four strategic areas, the Company a wholly owned water utility subsidiary that provides water service to the greater metropolitan San Jose area, and CLWSC, a wholly owned regulated utility subsidiary in the State of Texas. SJW Corp. plans and applies a diligent and disciplined approach to maintaining and improving its water system infrastructure. It also seeks to acquire regulated water systems adjacent to or near its existing service territory.

Regional Nonregulated Activities

Operating in accordance with guidelines established by the CPUC, San Jose Water Company provides nonregulated water services under agreements with municipalities and other utilities. Nonregulated services include water system operations, billing and cash remittance processing, maintenance services, and telecommunication antenna leasing.

San Jose Water Company also seeks appropriate nonregulated business opportunities that complement its existing operations or that allow it to extend its core competencies beyond existing operations. San Jose Water Company seeks opportunities to fully utilize its capabilities and existing capacity by providing services to other regional water systems, benefiting its existing regional customers through increased efficiencies.

Real Estate Investment

SJW Land Company’s real estate investments diversify SJW Corp.’s asset base and balances SJW Corp.’s concentration in regulated assets. SJW Land Company implements its real estate investment strategy by exchanging selected real estate assets for investments with a capital structure and risk and return profile that is consistent with SJW Corp.’s consolidated capital structure and risk and return profile.

Out-of-Region Opportunities

SJW Corp. alsoconsiders from time to time pursues opportunities to participate in out-of-region wateracquire businesses and utility related services, particularly regulated water businesses, primarily in the Western United States. SJW Corp. evaluates out-of-region and out-of-state opportunities that meet SJW Corp.’s risk and return profile.

The factors SJW Corp. considers in evaluating such opportunities include:

regulatory environment;

synergy potential;

general economic conditions;

potential profitability;

13


additional growth opportunities within the region;

water supply, water quality and environmental issues; and

capital requirements.

assets. However, SJW Corp. cannot be certain it will be successful in identifying and consummating any transactionsstrategic business acquisitions relating to such opportunities. In addition, any transaction couldwill involve numerous risks. Some of the risks, includeincluding the possibility of payingincurring more costs than the valuebenefits derived from the acquisition, the assumption of certain known and unknown liabilities related to the acquired assets, the riskdiversion of diverting management’s attention from normal dailyday-to-day operations of the business, the potential for a negative impact toon SJW Corp.’s financial position and operating results, the risks of entering markets in which SJW Corp. has no or limited direct prior experience and the potential loss of key employees of any acquired company. SJW Corp. cannot be certain that any transaction will be successful and will not materially harm its operating results or financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies:

SJW Corp. has identified the accounting policies delineated below as the policies critical to its business operations and the understanding of the results of operations. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. SJW Corp. bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on SJW Corp.’s business operations are discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” where such policies affect SJW Corp.’s reported and expected financial results. SJW Corp.’s critical accounting policies are as follows:

Revenue Recognition

SJW Corp. recognizes its regulated and nonregulated revenue when services have been rendered, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 104,FASB ASC Topic 605 – “Revenue Recognition.”

Metered revenue of San Josethe Water Company and CLWSC (together referred to as the “Water Utility Services”)Services includes billing to customers based on meter readings plus an estimate of water used between the customers’ last meter reading and the end of the accounting period. The Water Utility Services readreads the majority of its customers’ meters on a bi-monthly basis and records its revenue based on its meter reading results. Unbilled revenue from the last meter reading date to the end of the accounting period is estimated based on the most recent usage patterns, production records and the effective tariff rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, which wouldmay result in adjustingan adjustment to the operating revenue in the period which the revision to the Water Utility Services’ estimates are determined. As of June 30, 20092010 and December 31, 2008,2009, accrued unbilled revenue was $16,630$16,577 and $12,896,$12,435 respectively.

Unaccounted-for water on a 12 month-to-date basis for June 30, 2010 and 2009 approximated 7.62% and 2008 approximated 7.97% and 7.02%, respectively, as a percentage of production. The unaccounted-for water estimate is based on the results of past experience, the trend and efforts in reducing the Water Utility Services’ unaccounted-for water through customer conservation, main replacements and lost water reduction programs.

15


Revenues also include a surcharge collected from regulated customers that is paid to the CPUC. This surcharge is recorded both in operating revenues with related expenses charged toand administrative and general expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 20092010 and 2008,2009, the surcharge was $1,393$1,277 and $1,286,$1,393, respectively.

SJW Corp. recognizes its nonregulated revenue based on the nature of the nonregulated business activities. Revenue from San Jose Water Company’s nonregulated utility operations and billing or maintenance agreements are recognized when services have been rendered. Revenue from SJW Land Company properties is generally recognized ratably over the terms of the leases.

Recognition of Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Generally accepted accounting principles for water utilities include the recognition of regulatory assets and liabilities as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 71, “Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation.FASB ASC Topic 980 - ���Regulated Operations.” In accordance with SFAS No. 71,ASC Topic 980, the Water Utility Services, to the extent applicable, record deferred costs and credits on the balance sheet as regulatory assets and liabilities when it is probable that these costs and credits will be recognized in the ratemaking process in a period different from when the costs and credits are incurred. Accounting for such costs and credits is based on management’s judgment and prior historical ratemaking practices, and it occurs when management determines that it is probable that these costs and credits will be recognized in the future revenue of the Water Utility Services through the ratemaking process. The regulatory assets and liabilities recorded by the Water Utility Services, in particular, San Jose Water Company, primarily relate to the recognition of deferred income taxes for ratemaking versus tax accounting purposes and the postretirement pension benefits, medical costs, accrued benefits for vacation and asset retirement obligations that have not been passed through rates. The disallowance of any asset in future ratemaking, including deferred regulatory assets, would require San Jose Water Company to immediately recognize the impact of the costs for financial reporting purposes. No disallowance was recognized as of June 30, 20092010 and December 31, 2008, or for any periods presented. The net2009. Net regulatory assets recorded by San Jose Water Company as of June 30, 20092010 and December 31, 2008 was $73,5182009 were $78,274 and $73,778,$78,525, respectively.

Pension Accounting

San Jose Water Company offers a defined benefit plan, an Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan, and certain postretirement benefits other than pensions to employees retiring with a minimum level of service. Accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits requires an extensive use of assumptions about the discount rate applied to expected benefit obligations, expected return on plan assets, the rate of future compensation increases expected to be received by the employees, mortality, turnover, and medical costs.

The pension plan is administered by a committee that is composed of an equal number of Companycompany and Unionunion representatives (the “Committee”). The Committee has retained an investment consultant, presently Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, to assist it with, among other things, asset allocation strategy, investment policy advice, performance monitoring, and manager due diligence. Investment decisions have been delegated by the Committee to an Investment Manager, presently Wachovia Securities, LLC.investment managers. Investment guidelines provided toin the Investment ManagerPolicy Statement require that at least 25% of the plan assets be invested in bonds or cash.fixed income securities. As of December 31, 2008,2009, the plan assets consist of approximately 45%37% bonds, 3%4% cash equivalents, and 52%59% equities. Furthermore, equities are to be diversified by industry groups and selected to achieve a balance of long-term growth and income combined with a goal of long-term preservation of capital coupled with long-term growth through capital appreciation and income.

The market values of the plan assets are marked to market at the measurement date. The investment trust assets incur unrealized market gains or losses from time to time. Both unrealized market gains and losses on pension assets are amortized over 13.2512.93 years for actuarial expense calculation purposes.

Income Taxes

SJW Corp. estimates its federalFederal and state income taxes as part of the process of preparing the financial statements. The process involves estimating the actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes, including the evaluation of the treatment acceptable in the water utility industry and regulatory environment. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included on the balance sheet. If actual results, due to changes in the regulatory treatment, or significant changes in tax-related estimates or assumptions or changes in law, differ materially from these estimates, the provision for income taxes will be materially impacted.

Balancing Account

Pursuant to Section 792.5 of the California Public Utilities Code, a balancing account must be maintained for each expense item for which revenue offsets have been authorized. The purpose of a balancing account is to track the under-collection or over-collection associated with expense changes and the revenue authorized by the CPUC to offset those expense changes.

A separate Pursuant to Section 792.5 of the California Public Utilities Code, a balancing account must be maintained for each offset expense item (e.g.,items for which revenue offsets have been authorized.

A balancing account is currently being maintained for the following items: purchased water, purchased power and groundwater extraction charges).charges. The amount in the balancing account balance varies with the seasonality of the water utility business such that, during the summer months when the demand for water is at its peak, the account tends to reflect an under-collection while, during the winter months when demand for water is relatively lower, the account tends to reflect an over-collection.

Since the balances have toamounts in the balancing accounts must be approved by the CPUC before they can be incorporated into rates, San Jose Water Company does not recognize the balancing accountaccounts in its revenue until the CPUC authorizes thea change in customers’ rates. However, hadrates related to any balancing account. It is typical for the CPUC to incorporate any over-collected and/or under-collected balances in balancing accounts into customer rates at the time rate decisions are made as part of the Company’s general rate case proceedings by assessing temporary surcredits and/or surcharges. In such circumstances, the Company recognizes an impact to revenue, either positive or negative, as the surcredits and/or surcharges are billed to customer accounts.

In the case where the Company’s balancing or memorandum-type accounts that have been authorized by the CPUC reach certain thresholds or have termination dates, the Company can request the CPUC to recognize the amounts in such accounts in customer rates prior to the next regular general rate case proceeding by filing an advice letter. If such amounts are authorized for inclusion into customer rates, revenue would be recognized during the period in which authorization was made pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 605 and Sub-Topic 980-605 – “Revenue Recognition.”

If the balancing accountor memorandum-type accounts had been recognized in San Jose Water Company’s financial statements, San Jose Water Company’s retained earnings would be decreased by the amount of surcredits in the accountcase of over-collection or increased by the amountsurcharges in the case of the account under-collection, less applicable taxes.

Recognition of Gain/Loss on Utility, Nonutility Property and Real Estate Investments

In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for rate-regulated public utilities, the cost of retired utility plant, including retirement costs (less salvage), is charged to accumulated depreciation. Nodepreciation and no gain or loss is recognized for utility plant used and useful in providing water utility services to customers.

Utility property in the Water Utility Services is property that is used and useful in providing water utility services to customers and is included in rate base for rate-setting purposes. In California, real estate type utility property is subject to California Public Utilities Code Section 851, which states any gain recognized will be divided with two-thirds going to the customers (in the form of rate reduction) and one-third to the shareholders. Net gains or losses from the sale of utility property are recorded as a component of other (expense) income in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

15


Nonutility property in the Water Utility Services is property that is neither used nor useful in providing water utility services to customers and is excluded from the rate base for rate-setting purposes. San Jose Water Company recognizes gain/loss on disposition of nonutility property in accordance with California Public Utilities Code Section 790.

SJW Land Company owns real estate investment property, which consists primarily of land and buildings. Net gains and losses from the sale of real estate investments are recorded as a component of other (expense) income in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2009, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 (“SFAS 168”), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS 168 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS replaces SFAS 162 and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by FASB. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, except for SEC rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative generally accepted accounting principles for SEC registrants.

A substantial portion of San Jose Water Company’s distribution system was constructed during the period from 1945 to 1980. Expenditure levels for renewal and modernization of this part of the system will grow at an increasing rate as these components reach the end of their useful lives. In most cases, replacement cost will significantly exceed the original installation cost of the retired assets due to increases in the costs of goods and services.services and increased regulation. San Jose Water Company also expects to realize an increase in net salvage cost.

San Jose Water Company’sproduction costs

The decrease in water production costs was primarily attributable to an increase in the availability of surface water supply in addition to a decrease in usage due to conservation efforts called for by the Santa Clara Valley Water District. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in higher per unit costs paid for energy.

Sources of Water Supply

The Water Utility Services water supply consists of groundwater from wells, surface water from watershed run offrun-off and diversion, reclaimed water and imported water purchased from Santa Clara Valley Water District (“SCVWD”).regional wholesalers. Surface water is the least expensive source of water. The following table presents the change in sources of water and its availability significantly impacts the water production costs of San Jose Water Company.

Water production costs decreased $1,705 and $1,582supply, in million gallons, for the second quarter and year-to-date of 2009, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower customer demand, which decreased water production costs by $2,794 and $4,018 for the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively. The decreases were partially offset by $1,833 and $2,627 for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, of increased purchased water, groundwater extraction and energy costs.

CLWSC’s primary supply is water pumped from Canyon Lake at two lake intakes. This supply is supplemented by groundwater pumped from wells.

Water Supply and Energy Resources

San Jose Water Company’s water supply is obtained fromconsists of groundwater from wells, local surface water from watershed run offrun-off and diversion, and imported water purchased from the purchase of imported treated water from SCVWDSanta Clara Valley Water District (“SCVWD”) under the terms of a master contract with SCVWD expiring in 2051.

On June 30, 2009,28, 2010, SCVWD’s 10 reservoirs were approximately 56%69% full with 94,851116,279 acre-feet of water in storage. The rainfall from July 1, 20082009 to June 30, 200928, 2010 was approximately 80%121% of the historical season average.

As of June 30, 2009,seasonal average to date. In addition, the rainfall at San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman was measured at 39.5858.53 inches for the season commencingperiod from July 1, 20082009 through June 30, 2009,2010, which is approximately 90%132% of the five-year average. Local surface water is a less costly source of water than groundwater or purchased water and its availability significantly impacts San Jose Water Company’s results of operations.

The continuing dry weather San Jose Water Company believes that its various sources of water supply will be sufficient to meet customer demand in California and concerns about the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta prompted Governor Schwarzenegger on June 3, 2008 to issue an Executive Order (S-06-08) declaring a state-wide water emergency. The order directed state agencies to take immediate action to address drought conditions and water delivery reductions that may exist by expediting grant programs, technical assistance, and water conservation outreach. The order did not mandate water use restrictions or reductions.2010.

On December 15, 2008, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a new Biological Opinion (“BiOp”)(BiOp) and Incidental Take Statement for the Central Valley Project (“CVP”)(CVP) and the State Water Project (“SWP”)(SWP) on the Delta smelt. The operating requirements of BiOp immediately replacereplaced the interim remedy ordered by Federal Judge Oliver Wanger in December 2007. The BiOp prescribes a range of operational criteria that are determined based on hydrology, fish distribution, abundance and other factors. Under a “most likely” scenario, the California Department of Water Resources (“DWR”)(DWR) and United States Bureau of Reclamation (“USBR”)(USBR) estimate that SWP and CVP supplies to SCVWD could be reduced by approximately 1717% to 18% of the supply amount they currently receive. Under a “worst case” BiOp scenario, SWP and CVP supplies to SCVWD could be reduced by approximately 3232% to 33% of the current supply amount they receive. In addition, while there is some overlap with the California Fish & Game Commission’s restrictions to protect longfin smelt, the longfin pumping restrictions, if triggered, could cause significant supply impacts beyond those estimated to comply with Delta smelt requirements.

On March 24, 2009, the SCVWD board of directors unanimously passed a resolution declaringcalling for a mandatory 15% reduction in water use.use, which had been extended through June 2010. To effect mandatory water restrictions, SCVWD must work with other political subdivisions that possess the authority to enact and enforce drought ordinances in order to effect such restrictions. Additionally, water distributors subject to the jurisdiction of the CPUC must receive approval from the CPUC for changes in tariffs and other matters related to the implementation of water restrictions.

San Jose Water Company believes thatworked with the CPUC to develop its various sourceswater conservation plan to comply with the call for a 15% reduction in water use. The CPUC approved the plan, which became effective on August 12, 2009 and remained in effect through June 2010.

On June 15, 2010, the SCVWD board of directors passed a motion of intent to adopt a resolution calling for a three-month, 10% mandatory water conservation through September 30, 2010; and direct staff to bring back a special Board work study session, to include retailers and municipalities, to discuss tiered rates and the effect on water conservation. On July 13, 2010, the SCVWD board of directors passed and adopted this resolution.

CLWSC’s water supply including an increased reliance onconsists of groundwater are sufficient to meet customer demand for the remainder of 2009.

To the extent that San Jose Water Company has to pump water from wells during peak periods to satisfy customer demand when importedand purchased raw water is insufficient, higher energy costs are expected to be incurred. Currently, the CPUC has no established procedure for water utilities to recover the additional costs incurred due to such unanticipated changes in water supply mix. There can be no assurance that such costs will be recovered in full or in part.

CLWSC has long-term contracts withfrom the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (“GBRA”). The terms of theCLWSC has long-term agreements with GBRA, which expire in 2040, 2044 and 2050. The agreements provide CLWSC with 6,4006,700 acre-feet of water annuallyper year from Canyon Lake at prices to be adjusted periodically by the GBRA.

Regulatory Affairs

Almost all of the operating revenue of San Jose Water Company results from the sale of water at rates authorized by the CPUC. The CPUC sets rates that are intended to provide revenue sufficient to recover operating expenses and produce a specified return on common equity. The timing of rate decisions could have an impact on the results of operations.

On November 11, 2006,20, 2009, the CPUC issuedapproved the most recent general rate increase for San Jose Water Company’s most recent General Rate Case decision. TheCompany. In summary, the decision authorized San Jose Water Companyauthorizes a rate increases of approximately $3,500,increase designed to increase revenue by $18,597 or 2.0%, for 2007, $5,400, or 3.0%, for 2008, and $4,000, or 2.2%, for 2009. The rate9.24% in 2010. In accordance with CPUC rules, the subsequent increases for 2008the years 2011 and 2009 are subject to adjustments2012 will be based upon the inflation escalation factors realized at the timeconsumer price indices published in October of the increase. The decision also authorizes additional rate recoveries to be phasedpreceding year. Best estimates of these increases at that time were $7,558 or 3.43% in as capital projects are completed over the three-year period2011, and the recovery of approximately $450 from San Jose Water Company’s balancing and memorandum accounts.$11,088 or 4.87% in 2012. These rate increases are designed to produce a return on common equity of 10.13%, which is comparable with recent authorized returns for water utilities in California.

On November 25, 2008, San Jose Water Company filed The stated revenue increases for a revenue increase2010 through 2012 do not include additional authorized increases associated with scheduled expense and rate base offset filings, rate recovery of planned upgrades to the Montevina Treatment Plant, and the potential supplemental filings for 2009 with the CPUC, and was subsequently granted a revenue increaserate recovery of $4,985investments in alternative energy projects. The new rates for 2010 became effective January 1, 2009.2010.

On November 17, 2008, CLWSC filed a request for a general rate increase for Canyon Lake with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”). The filing contains a request for an increase in revenue of approximately $775, or about 14%. The rates became effective subject to refund on January 16, 2009. A preliminary hearing of the matter has been scheduled for August 26, 2009 and a final resolution is expected by the end of 2009.

On December 24, 2008, San Jose Water Company filed an application with the CPUC seeking authority to issue and sell debt securities not exceeding an aggregate amount of $90,000 over the next three years. This application is required by the CPUC rules and authority must be granted before additional debt can be issued. The authority was granted by the CPUC effective May 11, 2009.

On January 21, 2009,April 2, 2010, San Jose Water Company filed an application with the CPUC requesting general rate increases of $36,207,authorization to increase the annual revenue requirement by $80 or 18.4% in 2010, $15,171, or 6.5% in 2011,about 0.03% and $19,899, or 8.1% in 2012. San Jose Water Companyto increase rates proportionately. This increase is proposing this rate increase due to escalating operating expenses as well as significant system infrastructure replacement requirements over the next several years. The capital budgets for the years noted above are also increasing due to significantly higher construction costs. The infrastructure improvements, such as water main and well replacements, improvements to pumping stations, well fields, water tanks and pipeline replacements are necessary in order to maintain safe and reliable water servicesupport an annual increase of about $410 in the capital budget for meter replacement, in order to customers. The application is currently under review bycomply with the CPUC and a decision onrequirements of the request is expectedCommission’s General Order No. 103. If approved, the rate change should become effective sometime in late 2009, with new rates, if approved, becoming effective January 1,the fourth quarter of 2010.

On April 14, 2009, San Jose Water Company filed an advice letter to seek authority to establish: (1) a Mandatory Conservation Memorandum Account (“MCMA”) to track additional administrative costs and operating costs not recoverable through the existing memorandum type balancing accounts and (2) a Mandatory Conservation Revenue Adjustment Memorandum Account (“MCRAM”) to track the revenue impact of mandatory conservation. The filing is pending before the CPUC.

On April 29, 2009,June 2, 2010, San Jose Water Company filed an advice letter with the CPUC requesting authorization to increase revenues by $5,740 or approximately 2.61%. This increase is intended to recover the implementation of a revenue increase of $1,300 via a rate base offset for plant additions previously authorized in D.06-11-015. The rate increase became effective on June 1, 2009.

Balancing Account Recovery Procedures
