Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Operations and Basis of Presentation | Organization and Operations and Basis of Presentation California Water Service Group (the Company) is a holding company that provides water utility and other related services in California, Washington, New Mexico and Hawaii through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. California Water Service Company (Cal Water), Washington Water Service Company (Washington Water), New Mexico Water Service Company (New Mexico Water), and Hawaii Water Service Company, Inc. (Hawaii Water) provide regulated utility services under the rules and regulations of their respective state’s regulatory commissions (jointly referred to herein as the Commissions). CWS Utility Services and HWS Utility Services LLC provide non-regulated water utility and utility-related services. The Company operates in one reportable segment, providing water and related utility services. Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and therefore do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP and the SEC for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 , included in its annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018. The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. These include, but are not limited to, estimates and assumptions used in determining the Company’s regulatory asset and liability balances based upon probability assessments of regulatory recovery, revenues earned but not yet billed, asset retirement obligations, allowance for doubtful accounts, pension and other employee benefit plan liabilities, and income tax-related assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring transactions that are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the results for the periods covered. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period. Due to the seasonal nature of the water business, the results for interim periods are not indicative of the results for a 12-month period. Revenue and income are generally higher in the warm, dry summer months when water usage and sales are greater. Revenue and income are generally lower in the winter months when cooler temperatures and rainfall curtail water usage and sales. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Operating revenue The following tables disaggregate the Company’s operating revenue by source for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Revenue from contracts with customers $ 209,541 $ 197,007 Regulatory balancing account revenue 9,442 14,724 Total operating revenue $ 218,983 $ 211,731 Nine Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Revenue from contracts with customers $ 515,567 $ 472,412 Regulatory balancing account revenue 8,295 32,487 Total operating revenue $ 523,862 $ 504,899 Revenue from contracts with customers The Company principally generates operating revenue from contracts with customers by providing regulated water and wastewater services at tariff-rates authorized by the Commissions in the states in which they operate and non-regulated water and wastewater services at rates authorized by contracts with government agencies. Revenue from contracts with customers reflects amounts billed for the volume of consumption at authorized per unit rates, for a service charge, and for other authorized charges. The Company satisfies its performance obligation to provide water and wastewater services over time as services are rendered. The Company applies the invoice practical expedient and recognizes revenue from contracts with customers in the amount for which the Company has a right to invoice. The Company has a right to invoice for the volume of consumption, for the service charge, and for other authorized charges. The measurement of sales to customers is generally based on the reading of their meters, which occurs on a systematic basis throughout the month. At the end of each month, the Company estimates consumption since the date of the last meter reading and a corresponding unbilled revenue is recognized. The estimate is based upon the number of unbilled days that month and the average daily customer billing rate from the previous month (which fluctuates based upon customer usage). Contract terms are generally short-term and at will by customers and, as a result, no separate financing component is recognized for the Company's collections from customers, which generally require payment within 30 days of billing. The Company applies judgment, based principally on historical payment experience, in estimating its customers’ ability to pay. Certain customers are not billed for volumetric consumption, but are instead billed a flat rate at the beginning of each monthly service period. The amount billed is initially deferred and subsequently recognized over the monthly service period, as the performance obligation is satisfied. The deferred revenue balance, which is included in "accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets, is inconsequential. In the following tables, revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by class of customers for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Residential $ 138,939 $ 131,608 Business 38,538 35,678 Industrial 8,987 7,919 Public authorities 12,180 11,480 Other 10,897 10,322 Total revenue from contracts with customers $ 209,541 $ 197,007 Nine Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Residential $ 340,107 $ 309,645 Business 97,720 87,246 Industrial 24,507 21,281 Public authorities 25,875 23,500 Other 27,358 30,740 Total revenue from contracts with customers $ 515,567 $ 472,412 Regulatory balancing account revenue The Company’s ability to recover revenue requirements authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in its triennial General Rate Case (GRC), is decoupled from the volume of the sales. Regulatory balancing account revenue is revenue related to rate mechanisms authorized in California by the CPUC, which allow the Company to recover the authorized revenue and are not considered contracts with customers. The Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (WRAM) allows the Company to recognize the adopted level of volumetric revenues. The variance between adopted volumetric revenues and actual billed volumetric revenues for metered accounts is recorded as regulatory balancing account revenue. Cost-recovery rates, such as the Modified Cost Balancing Account (MCBA), provide for recovery of the adopted levels of expenses for purchased water, purchased power, pump taxes, water conservation program costs and certain other operating expenses. Variances between adopted and actual costs are recorded as regulatory balancing account revenue. Each district's WRAM and MCBA regulatory assets and liabilities are allowed to be netted against one another. The Company recognizes regulatory balancing account revenues that have been authorized for rate recovery, are objectively determinable and probable of recovery, and are expected to be collected within 24 months. To the extent that regulatory balancing account revenue is estimated to be collectible beyond 24 months, recognition is deferred. Non-regulated Revenue The following tables disaggregate the Company’s non-regulated revenue by source for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Operating and maintenance revenue $ 2,816 $ 1,903 Other non-regulated revenue 1,328 1,143 Non-regulated revenue from contracts with customers $ 4,144 $ 3,046 Lease revenue $ 559 $ 496 Total non-regulated revenue $ 4,703 $ 3,542 Nine Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Operating and maintenance revenue $ 8,278 $ 5,870 Other non-regulated revenue 4,053 3,362 Non-regulated revenue from contracts with customers $ 12,331 $ 9,232 Lease revenue $ 1,636 $ 1,511 Total non-regulated revenue $ 13,967 $ 10,743 Operating and maintenance services are provided for non-regulated water and wastewater systems owned by private companies and municipalities. The Company negotiates formal agreements with the customers, under which they provide operating, maintenance and customer billing services related to the customers’ water system. The formal agreements outline the fee schedule for the services provided. The agreements typically call for a fee-per-service or a flat-rate amount per month. The Company satisfies its performance obligation of providing operating and maintenance services over time as services are rendered; as a result, the Company employs the invoice practical expedient and recognizes revenue in the amount that it has the right to invoice. Contract terms are generally short-term and, as a result, no separate financing component is recognized for its collections from customers, which generally require payment within 30 days of billing. Other non-regulated revenue primarily relates to services for the design and installation of water mains and other water infrastructure for customers outside the regulated service areas and insurance program administration. Other non-regulated revenue is inconsequential. The Company is the lessor in operating lease agreements with telecommunications companies under which cellular phone antennas are placed on the Company's property. Lease revenue is not considered revenue from contracts with customers and is recognized following current operating lease standards. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Cash and cash equivalents 66,421 94,776 Restricted cash (included in "taxes, prepaid expenses and other assets") 671 576 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statements of cash flows $ 67,092 $ 95,352 Adoption of New Accounting Standards In May of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (codified in ASC 606), which amends the existing revenue recognition guidance. The Company completed an evaluation of the new revenue standard and implemented the standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts. The reported results for 2018 reflect the application of ASC 606 guidance, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Other than increased disclosures regarding revenues related to contracts with customers, the implementation did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see "Operating Revenue" section of note 2 above). In August of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . This update adds and clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The Company will continue to classify proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims on the basis of the nature of the loss and from the settlement of Company-owned life insurance policies as cash inflows on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company implemented the standard on January 1, 2018 and retrospectively applied the standard in the comparative period. The standard does not have a significant impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements. In November of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash . The update requires the Company to combine restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period balances in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company implemented the standard on January 1, 2018 and retrospectively applied the standard in the comparative period. The following table shows the effect of the accounting change to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows line item As Reported on Form 10-Q Adjusted Balance on Form 10-Q Increase (Decrease) from Retrospective Adoption Change in restricted cash $ (679 ) $ — $ 679 Net cash used in investing activities $ (183,511 ) $ (182,832 ) $ 679 Change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 2,849 $ 3,528 $ 679 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of period $ 25,492 $ 25,935 $ 443 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period $ 28,341 $ 29,463 $ 1,122 In March of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . The update requires employers to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of net benefit cost, including interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost/credit and actuarial gain/loss, and settlement and curtailment effects, are to be presented as non-operating items. In addition, the standard only allows the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization. The standard became effective as of January 1, 2018. The presentation amendments were applied retrospectively and the capitalization amendments were applied prospectively on and after the effective date. The Company applied the practical expedient that permits the Company to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan footnote from the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements . The Commissions have authorized the Company to recover the other components of net periodic benefit cost through the Company’s capital program and thus on and after the effective date, the other components of net periodic benefit cost that have previously been recorded as part of utility plant have been recognized as a regulatory asset (see note 9). As a result, the changes required by the standard did not have a material impact on the results of operations. The following tables show the effect of the accounting change to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017: Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income line item As Reported on Form 10-Q Adjusted Balance on Form 10-Q Increase (Decrease) from Retrospective Adoption Administrative and general $ 24,886 $ 22,749 $ (2,137 ) Income taxes $ 17,348 $ 18,219 $ 871 Total operating expenses $ 170,535 $ 169,269 $ (1,266 ) Net operating income $ 41,196 $ 42,462 $ 1,266 Other components of net periodic benefit cost $ — $ (2,137 ) $ 2,137 Income tax benefit (expense) on other income and expenses $ (841 ) $ 30 $ 871 Net other income (loss) $ 1,230 $ (36 ) $ (1,266 ) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income line item As Reported on Form 10-Q Adjusted Balance on Form 10-Q Increase (Decrease) from Retrospective Adoption Administrative and general $ 73,931 $ 66,908 $ (7,023 ) Income taxes $ 26,099 $ 27,941 $ 1,842 Total operating expenses $ 430,394 $ 425,213 $ (5,181 ) Net operating income $ 74,505 $ 79,686 $ 5,181 Other components of net periodic benefit cost $ — $ (7,023 ) $ 7,023 Income tax expense on other income and expenses $ (2,947 ) $ (1,105 ) $ 1,842 Net other income (loss) $ 4,315 $ (866 ) $ (5,181 ) New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted In February of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which amends the guidance relating to the definition of a lease, recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, and the related disclosure requirements. In July of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases: Targeted Improvements , which amends the new leasing guidance such that entities may elect not to restate their comparative periods in the period of adoption. The guidance requires lessees to recognize an asset and liability on the balance sheet for all of their lease obligations. Operating leases were previously not recognized on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the standard using the modified retrospective method for its existing leases and expects this standard to increase lease assets and lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company intends to elect certain practical expedients and will carry forward historical conclusions related to (1) contracts that contain leases, (2) existing lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company will also apply the practical expedient that will allow the Company to elect, as an accounting policy, by asset class, to include both lease and nonlease components as a single component and account for it as a lease. The Company will apply the short-term lease exception for lessees which will allow the Company to not have to apply the recognition requirements of the new leasing guidance for short-term leases and to recognize lease payments in net income on a straight line basis over the lease term. The Company does not expect that the guidance will have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and lease disclosures. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share are noted in the table below. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts were exercised or converted into common stock. RSAs are included in the weighted average common shares outstanding because the shares have all the same voting and dividend rights as issued and unrestricted common stock. RSUs are not included in diluted shares for financial reporting until authorized by the Organization & Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Company makes annual contributions to fund the amounts accrued for in the qualified pension plan. The Company also maintains an unfunded, non-qualified, supplemental executive retirement plan. The costs of the plans are charged to expense or are capitalized in utility plant as appropriate. The Company offers medical, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits for retirees and their spouses and dependents. Participants are required to pay a premium, which offsets a portion of the cost. Cash contributions by the Company related to pension plans were $42.3 million and $22.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Cash contributions by the Company related to other postretirement benefit plans were $8.0 million and $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The total 2018 estimated cash contribution to the pension plans is $42.3 million and to the other postretirement benefit plans is $9.7 million .

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Short-term and Long-term Borrowings | Short-term and Long-term Borrowings Both short-term unsecured credit agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for credit facilities of this type including, among other things, limitations and prohibitions relating to additional indebtedness, liens, mergers, and asset sales. Also, these unsecured credit agreements contain financial covenants governing the Company and its subsidiaries’ consolidated total capitalization ratio and interest coverage ratio. The outstanding borrowings on the Company line of credit were $75.1 million and $55.1 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. There were no borrowings on the Cal Water line of credit as of September 30, 2018 and $220.0 million of borrowings as of December 31, 2017. The average borrowing rate for borrowings on the Company and Cal Water lines of credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 2.88% compared to 1.97% for the same period last year. On September 13, 2018, Cal Water sold $300.0 million of floating rate First Mortgage Bonds due in September of 2020 in a private placement. The floating interest rate was set at three-month LIBOR plus 70 basis points, will accrue quarterly, and be payable in arrears. The bonds are redeemable at a premium of 102% , or at par after June 13, 2019. The bonds will also rank equally with all of Cal Water's other First Mortgage Bonds and will be secured by liens on Cal Water's properties, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company adjusts its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company also records the tax effect of unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items. The provision for income taxes is shown in the tables below: Three Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Income tax expense $ 10,957 $ 18,189 Nine Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Income tax expense $ 13,498 $ 29,046 The income tax expense decreased $7.2 million to $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 mostly due to the federal income tax rate reduction from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, an increase in tax benefits of $0.9 million , and a decrease in pre-tax income. The income tax expense decreased $15.5 million to $13.5 million in the first nine months of 2018, as compared to $29.0 million in the first nine months of 2017. The decrease was mainly due to the federal income tax rate reduction from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018, an increase in tax benefits of $0.9 million , and a decrease in pre-tax income. The Company's 2018 effective tax rate, before discrete items, is estimated to be in the range from 22% to 25% . For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a provisional re-measurement of its deferred tax balances (related mostly to timing differences for plant-related items) which was offset by a change from a net deferred income tax regulatory asset to a net regulatory liability. The Company is continuing to work with state regulators to finalize the customer net refund of $108.0 million to ensure compliance with federal normalization rules. The final transition impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) may differ from the recorded amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, regulatory decisions that could differ from the Company’s determination of how the impacts of the TCJA are allocated between customers and shareholders. In addition, while the Company was able to make reasonable estimates of the impact of the reduction in federal tax rate and the elimination of bonus depreciation due to the enactment of the TCJA, the Company has not completed analysis for areas of the TCJA around Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), full expensing of fixed assets, and other asset related items of the TCJA. Changes in interpretations, guidance on legislative intent, and any changes in accounting standards for income taxes in response to the TCJA could impact the recorded amounts. The Company will finalize and record any adjustments related to the TCJA within the one year measurement period provided under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The balances relating to TCJA impact continue to be provisional as of September 30, 2018. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $12.0 million and $10.2 million as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 are approximately $2.3 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in an adjustment to the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly within the next 12 months. |

The short-term regulatory assets were $38.0 million as of September 30, 2018 and $36.8 million as of December 31, 2017 . As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the short-term regulatory assets primarily consist of net WRAM and MCBA receivables. The short-term portions of regulatory liabilities were $43.3 million as of September 30, 2018 and $59.3 million as of December 31, 2017 . The short-term regulatory liabilities as of September 30, 2018 , primarily consist of 1,2,3 trichloropropane (TCP) settlement proceeds. As of December 31, 2017 , the short-term regulatory liabilities primarily consist of TCP settlement proceeds and net WRAM and MCBA liability balances. The tax accounting and cost of capital memorandum account regulatory liabilities are related to the estimated customer refunds due to changes in the federal income tax rate and to the cost of capital decision for Cal Water. The other components of net periodic benefit cost regulatory asset are authorized by the Commissions and are probable for rate recovery through the capital program (see Note 2). |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company has significant commitments to lease certain office spaces and water systems and to purchase water from water wholesalers. These commitments are described in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Effective April 3, 2018, the City of Commerce has renewed a lease agreement for Cal Water to operate the City of Commerce’s water system for the next 15 years . Cal Water has operated the City of Commerce water system since 1985 and is responsible for all operations, maintenance, water quality assurance, and customer service programs to provide a reliable supply of water that meets federal and state standards to customers served by the City of Commerce system. The City of Commerce will remain responsible for financing infrastructure improvements and setting its customers’ water rates. As of September 30, 2018, there were no other significant changes from December 31, 2017. Contingencies Groundwater Contamination The Company has undertaken litigation against third parties to recover past and anticipated costs related to groundwater contamination in our service areas. The cost of litigation is expensed as incurred and any settlement is first offset against such costs. The CPUC’s general policy requires all proceeds from groundwater contamination litigation to be used first to pay transactional expenses, then to make customers whole for water treatment costs to comply with the CPUC’s water quality standards. The CPUC allows for a risk-based consideration of contamination proceeds which exceed the costs of the remediation described above and may result in some sharing of proceeds with the shareholder, determined on a case by case basis. The CPUC has authorized various memorandum accounts that allow the Company to track significant litigation costs to request recovery of these costs in future filings and uses of proceeds to comply with CPUC’s general policy. Other Legal Matters From time to time, the Company is involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The status of each significant matter is reviewed and assessed for potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount of the range of loss can be estimated, a liability is accrued for the estimated loss in accordance with the accounting standards for contingencies. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based on the best information available at the time. While the outcome of these disputes and litigation matters cannot be predicted with any certainty, management does not believe when taking into account existing reserves the ultimate resolution of these matters will materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a liability of $3.8 million and $6.1 million , respectively, for known legal matters. The decrease is mainly due to several large claims being resolved in the first nine months of 2018. The cost of litigation is expensed as incurred and any settlement is first offset against such costs. Any settlement in excess of the cost to litigate is accounted for on a case by case basis, dependent on the nature of the settlement. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities | Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures provides a single definition of fair value and requires certain disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. A hierarchical framework for disclosing the observability of the inputs utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value is established by this guidance. The three levels in the hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access. Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include: • Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; • Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; • Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and • Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Specific valuation methods include the following: Accounts receivable and accounts payable carrying amounts approximated the fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. Long-term debt fair values were estimated using the published quoted market price, if available, or the discounted cash flow analysis, based on the current rates available using a risk-free rate (a U.S. Treasury securities yield curve) plus a risk premium of 1.70% . Advances for construction fair values were estimated using broker quotes from companies that frequently purchase these investments.

Revenue | Operating revenue The following tables disaggregate the Company’s operating revenue by source for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Revenue from contracts with customers $ 209,541 $ 197,007 Regulatory balancing account revenue 9,442 14,724 Total operating revenue $ 218,983 $ 211,731 Nine Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Revenue from contracts with customers $ 515,567 $ 472,412 Regulatory balancing account revenue 8,295 32,487 Total operating revenue $ 523,862 $ 504,899 Revenue from contracts with customers The Company principally generates operating revenue from contracts with customers by providing regulated water and wastewater services at tariff-rates authorized by the Commissions in the states in which they operate and non-regulated water and wastewater services at rates authorized by contracts with government agencies. Revenue from contracts with customers reflects amounts billed for the volume of consumption at authorized per unit rates, for a service charge, and for other authorized charges. The Company satisfies its performance obligation to provide water and wastewater services over time as services are rendered. The Company applies the invoice practical expedient and recognizes revenue from contracts with customers in the amount for which the Company has a right to invoice. The Company has a right to invoice for the volume of consumption, for the service charge, and for other authorized charges. The measurement of sales to customers is generally based on the reading of their meters, which occurs on a systematic basis throughout the month. At the end of each month, the Company estimates consumption since the date of the last meter reading and a corresponding unbilled revenue is recognized. The estimate is based upon the number of unbilled days that month and the average daily customer billing rate from the previous month (which fluctuates based upon customer usage). Contract terms are generally short-term and at will by customers and, as a result, no separate financing component is recognized for the Company's collections from customers, which generally require payment within 30 days of billing. The Company applies judgment, based principally on historical payment experience, in estimating its customers’ ability to pay. Certain customers are not billed for volumetric consumption, but are instead billed a flat rate at the beginning of each monthly service period. The amount billed is initially deferred and subsequently recognized over the monthly service period, as the performance obligation is satisfied. The deferred revenue balance, which is included in "accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets, is inconsequential. In the following tables, revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by class of customers for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Residential $ 138,939 $ 131,608 Business 38,538 35,678 Industrial 8,987 7,919 Public authorities 12,180 11,480 Other 10,897 10,322 Total revenue from contracts with customers $ 209,541 $ 197,007 Nine Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Residential $ 340,107 $ 309,645 Business 97,720 87,246 Industrial 24,507 21,281 Public authorities 25,875 23,500 Other 27,358 30,740 Total revenue from contracts with customers $ 515,567 $ 472,412 Regulatory balancing account revenue The Company’s ability to recover revenue requirements authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in its triennial General Rate Case (GRC), is decoupled from the volume of the sales. Regulatory balancing account revenue is revenue related to rate mechanisms authorized in California by the CPUC, which allow the Company to recover the authorized revenue and are not considered contracts with customers. The Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (WRAM) allows the Company to recognize the adopted level of volumetric revenues. The variance between adopted volumetric revenues and actual billed volumetric revenues for metered accounts is recorded as regulatory balancing account revenue. Cost-recovery rates, such as the Modified Cost Balancing Account (MCBA), provide for recovery of the adopted levels of expenses for purchased water, purchased power, pump taxes, water conservation program costs and certain other operating expenses. Variances between adopted and actual costs are recorded as regulatory balancing account revenue. Each district's WRAM and MCBA regulatory assets and liabilities are allowed to be netted against one another. The Company recognizes regulatory balancing account revenues that have been authorized for rate recovery, are objectively determinable and probable of recovery, and are expected to be collected within 24 months. To the extent that regulatory balancing account revenue is estimated to be collectible beyond 24 months, recognition is deferred. Non-regulated Revenue The following tables disaggregate the Company’s non-regulated revenue by source for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Operating and maintenance revenue $ 2,816 $ 1,903 Other non-regulated revenue 1,328 1,143 Non-regulated revenue from contracts with customers $ 4,144 $ 3,046 Lease revenue $ 559 $ 496 Total non-regulated revenue $ 4,703 $ 3,542 Nine Months Ended September 30 2018 2017 Operating and maintenance revenue $ 8,278 $ 5,870 Other non-regulated revenue 4,053 3,362 Non-regulated revenue from contracts with customers $ 12,331 $ 9,232 Lease revenue $ 1,636 $ 1,511 Total non-regulated revenue $ 13,967 $ 10,743 Operating and maintenance services are provided for non-regulated water and wastewater systems owned by private companies and municipalities. The Company negotiates formal agreements with the customers, under which they provide operating, maintenance and customer billing services related to the customers’ water system. The formal agreements outline the fee schedule for the services provided. The agreements typically call for a fee-per-service or a flat-rate amount per month. The Company satisfies its performance obligation of providing operating and maintenance services over time as services are rendered; as a result, the Company employs the invoice practical expedient and recognizes revenue in the amount that it has the right to invoice. Contract terms are generally short-term and, as a result, no separate financing component is recognized for its collections from customers, which generally require payment within 30 days of billing. Other non-regulated revenue primarily relates to services for the design and installation of water mains and other water infrastructure for customers outside the regulated service areas and insurance program administration. Other non-regulated revenue is inconsequential. The Company is the lessor in operating lease agreements with telecommunications companies under which cellular phone antennas are placed on the Company's property. Lease revenue is not considered revenue from contracts with customers and is recognized following current operating lease standards. |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted | Adoption of New Accounting Standards In May of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (codified in ASC 606), which amends the existing revenue recognition guidance. The Company completed an evaluation of the new revenue standard and implemented the standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts. The reported results for 2018 reflect the application of ASC 606 guidance, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Other than increased disclosures regarding revenues related to contracts with customers, the implementation did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see "Operating Revenue" section of note 2 above). In August of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . This update adds and clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The Company will continue to classify proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims on the basis of the nature of the loss and from the settlement of Company-owned life insurance policies as cash inflows on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company implemented the standard on January 1, 2018 and retrospectively applied the standard in the comparative period. The standard does not have a significant impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements. In November of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash . The update requires the Company to combine restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period balances in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company implemented the standard on January 1, 2018 and retrospectively applied the standard in the comparative period. The following table shows the effect of the accounting change to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows line item As Reported on Form 10-Q Adjusted Balance on Form 10-Q Increase (Decrease) from Retrospective Adoption Change in restricted cash $ (679 ) $ — $ 679 Net cash used in investing activities $ (183,511 ) $ (182,832 ) $ 679 Change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 2,849 $ 3,528 $ 679 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of period $ 25,492 $ 25,935 $ 443 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period $ 28,341 $ 29,463 $ 1,122 In March of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . The update requires employers to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of net benefit cost, including interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost/credit and actuarial gain/loss, and settlement and curtailment effects, are to be presented as non-operating items. In addition, the standard only allows the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization. The standard became effective as of January 1, 2018. The presentation amendments were applied retrospectively and the capitalization amendments were applied prospectively on and after the effective date. The Company applied the practical expedient that permits the Company to use the amounts disclosed in its pension and other postretirement benefit plan footnote from the prior comparative periods as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements . The Commissions have authorized the Company to recover the other components of net periodic benefit cost through the Company’s capital program and thus on and after the effective date, the other components of net periodic benefit cost that have previously been recorded as part of utility plant have been recognized as a regulatory asset (see note 9). As a result, the changes required by the standard did not have a material impact on the results of operations. The following tables show the effect of the accounting change to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017: Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income line item As Reported on Form 10-Q Adjusted Balance on Form 10-Q Increase (Decrease) from Retrospective Adoption Administrative and general $ 24,886 $ 22,749 $ (2,137 ) Income taxes $ 17,348 $ 18,219 $ 871 Total operating expenses $ 170,535 $ 169,269 $ (1,266 ) Net operating income $ 41,196 $ 42,462 $ 1,266 Other components of net periodic benefit cost $ — $ (2,137 ) $ 2,137 Income tax benefit (expense) on other income and expenses $ (841 ) $ 30 $ 871 Net other income (loss) $ 1,230 $ (36 ) $ (1,266 ) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income line item As Reported on Form 10-Q Adjusted Balance on Form 10-Q Increase (Decrease) from Retrospective Adoption Administrative and general $ 73,931 $ 66,908 $ (7,023 ) Income taxes $ 26,099 $ 27,941 $ 1,842 Total operating expenses $ 430,394 $ 425,213 $ (5,181 ) Net operating income $ 74,505 $ 79,686 $ 5,181 Other components of net periodic benefit cost $ — $ (7,023 ) $ 7,023 Income tax expense on other income and expenses $ (2,947 ) $ (1,105 ) $ 1,842 Net other income (loss) $ 4,315 $ (866 ) $ (5,181 ) New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted In February of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which amends the guidance relating to the definition of a lease, recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, and the related disclosure requirements. In July of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases: Targeted Improvements , which amends the new leasing guidance such that entities may elect not to restate their comparative periods in the period of adoption. The guidance requires lessees to recognize an asset and liability on the balance sheet for all of their lease obligations. Operating leases were previously not recognized on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the standard using the modified retrospective method for its existing leases and expects this standard to increase lease assets and lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company intends to elect certain practical expedients and will carry forward historical conclusions related to (1) contracts that contain leases, (2) existing lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company will also apply the practical expedient that will allow the Company to elect, as an accounting policy, by asset class, to include both lease and nonlease components as a single component and account for it as a lease. The Company will apply the short-term lease exception for lessees which will allow the Company to not have to apply the recognition requirements of the new leasing guidance for short-term leases and to recognize lease payments in net income on a straight line basis over the lease term. The Company does not expect that the guidance will have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and lease disclosures. |
