Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
GENERAL | General In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in SJW Corp.'s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02, “Consolidation” which modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that the general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, modifies the consolidation analysis for reporting entities that are involved in variable interest entities, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships, and provides a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that operate as registered money market funds. ASU 2015-02 became effective for SJW Corp. in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Water sales are seasonal in nature and influenced by weather conditions. The timing of precipitation and climatic conditions can cause seasonal water consumption by customers to vary significantly. Due to the seasonal nature of the water business, the operating results for interim periods are not indicative of the operating results for a 12-month period. Revenue is generally higher in the warm, dry summer months when water usage and sales are greater, and lower in the winter months when cooler temperatures and increased rainfall curtail water usage and sales. In response to the ongoing drought in California, on November 13, 2015, Governor Edmund Brown Jr. issued Executive Order B-36-15 to bolster the state's drought response. On November 24, 2015, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (“SCVWD”) extended their call for 30% conservation and restriction on outdoor watering of ornamental landscapes two days a week through June 30, 2016. On February 2, 2016, the State Water Board adopted an extended and revised emergency regulation to ensure that urban water conservation continues through October 2016. On May 9, 2016 Governor Brown issued an executive order to build on temporary statewide emergency water restrictions and to establish longer term water conservation measures, including permanent monthly water use reporting, new permanent water use standards in California communities and bans on clearly wasteful practices. On May 18, 2016, the State Water Board adopted a new approach to the water conservation regulation and replaced the prior percentage reduction-based water conservation standard with the new approach for ensuring at least a three year supply of water based on local conditions. On June 14, 2016, the SCVWD reduced its conservation target from 30% to 20% and also increased the number of outdoor watering days from two to three effective July 1, 2016 through January 31, 2017. Effective June 15, 2015, San Jose Water Company was authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) to activate Stage 3 of Tariff Rule 14.1 which is a water shortage contingency plan with mandatory water usage reductions and drought surcharges. Tariff Rule 14.1 focuses primarily on restrictions of outdoor water use which accounts for 50% of a typical customer's water usage. On June 24, 2016, San Jose Water Company filed with the CPUC to amend its water shortage contingency plan with mandatory water usage reductions and drought surcharges to reflect the SCVWD's changes. This request was approved by the CPUC with an effective date of July 1. The drought surcharges are not recorded in revenue. Rather, they are recorded in a regulatory liability account which has been authorized by the CPUC to track lost revenues from conservation. The amount recorded in this surcharge account is being used to offset future rate increases that would otherwise be necessary to recover lost revenue due to drought conservation efforts. As of June 30, 2016 , San Jose Water Company had accumulated a balance of approximately $1,716 in the drought surcharge account. San Jose Water Company is continually working to remain in compliance with the various drought rules and regulations and is also working with local governments as well as the SCVWD to communicate consistent messages to the public about use restrictions and related matters because of the ongoing drought. Effective March 31, 2014, San Jose Water Company received approval from the CPUC to institute a Mandatory Conservation Revenue Adjustment Memorandum Account. This account was subsequently replaced with a Water Conservation Memorandum Account (“WCMA”). The WCMA allows San Jose Water Company to track lost revenue associated with reduced sales due to the ongoing drought and the associated calls for water use reduction from the SCVWD. San Jose Water Company records the lost revenue captured in the WCMA regulatory accounts once the revenue recognition requirements of FASB ASU Topic 980 - “Regulated Operations,” subtopic 605-25 are met. For further discussion, please see Note 8 and Note 9. Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with deferred restricted common stock awards under SJW Corp.'s Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Incentive Plan”) and shares potentially issuable under the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , 2,470 and 1,321 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , 4,087 and 1,439 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively. A portion of depreciation expense is allocated to administrative and general expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , the amounts allocated to administrative and general expense were $422 and $392 , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , the amounts allocated to administrative and general expense were $834 and $791 , respectively. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
EQUITY PLANS | Equity Plans SJW Corp. accounts for share-based compensation based on the grant date fair value of the awards issued to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 - “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on the estimated fair value for all share-based payment awards. The Incentive Plan allows SJW Corp. to provide employees, non-employee board members or the board of directors of any parent or subsidiary, consultants, and other independent advisors who provide services to the company or any parent or subsidiary the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in SJW Corp. The types of awards included in the Incentive Plan are restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, or other share-based awards. As of June 30, 2016 , the remaining number of shares available under the Incentive Plan was 993,954 , and an additional 230,182 shares were issuable under outstanding restricted stock units and deferred restricted stock units. In addition, shares are issued to employees under the company's ESPP. Stock compensation costs charged to income are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. A summary of compensation costs charged to income, proceeds from the exercise of stock options and similar instruments, and the tax benefit realized from stock options and similar instruments exercised, that were recorded to additional paid-in capital and common stock, by award type, are presented below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 .

The units vest in three equal successive installments upon completion of each year of service with no dividend equivalent rights. Share-based compensation expense of $27.02 per unit which is based on the award grant date fair value is being recognized over the service period beginning in 2016. On January 26, 2016 , certain officers of SJW Corp. were granted performance-based restricted stock units covering an aggregate target number of SJW Corp.'s shares of common stock equal to 12,473 that will vest based on the actual attainment of specified performance goals measured for the 2016 calendar year and continued service through December 31, 2016. The number of shares issuable under the awards, ranging between 0% to 150% of the target number of shares, is based on the level of actual attainment of specified performance goals. The units do not include dividend equivalent rights. The awards have no market conditions and the share-based compensation expense of $29.46 per unit which is based on the award grant date fair value is being recognized assuming the performance goals will be attained. As of June 30, 2016 , management believes that the performance goals will be met. On April 27, 2016 , restricted stock units covering an aggregate of 7,656 shares of common stock of SJW Corp. were granted to the non-employee board members of SJW Corp. The units vest upon continuous board service through the day immediately preceding the date of the next annual shareholder meeting with no dividend equivalent rights. Share-based compensation expense of $35.79 per unit which is based on the award grant date fair value is being recognized over the service period beginning in 2016. As of June 30, 2016 , the total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted and deferred restricted stock plans was $1,653 . This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.10 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of SJW Corp.'s common stock at 85% of the fair value of shares on the purchase date. Under the ESPP, employees can designate up to a maximum of 10% of their base compensation for the purchase of shares of common stock, subject to certain restrictions. A total of 400,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the ESPP. After considering estimated employee terminations or withdrawals from the plan before the purchase date, SJW Corp.'s recorded expenses were $47 and $87 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, and $43 and $82 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively, related to the ESPP. The total unrecognized compensation costs related to the semi-annual offering period that ends July 29, 2016 for the ESPP is approximately $15 . This cost is expected to be recognized during the third quarter of 2016. |

In 2015, SJW Land Company was notified by the Arizona Department of Transportation (“ADOT”) that in order to achieve their goals of developing a new freeway extension, they, in conjunction with the Federal Highway Commission, would be exercising their powers of eminent domain for SJW Land Company's warehouse building located in Phoenix, Arizona. During the second quarter of 2016, management negotiated a settlement value with ADOT. Final settlement is expected by the end of 2016. The company has reclassified the Arizona property as held-for-sale in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 . Reclassification to held-for-sale represents a change in circumstances in the intended use of such facility and as such, the company has reviewed the asset for impairment. SJW Corp. performed a recoverability test of estimated sales proceeds less cost to sell the property in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360 - “Property, Plant and Equipment.” As a result of this recoverability test, SJW Corp. determined that the carrying value was recoverable and no impairment exists. The mortgage loan for the Arizona warehouse building was due on July 1, 2016. SJW Land Company paid off the remaining loan balance of $2,938 on June 30, 2016. The Arizona warehouse building is included in SJW Corp.'s “Real Estate Services” reportable segment as disclosed in Note 5. Prior to reclassification of the property as held-for-sale, depreciation expense on the building was $68 and $135 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The following represents the major components of the Arizona warehouse building recorded in long-lived assets held-for-sale on SJW Corp.'s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 : June 30, 2016 Land $ 2,064 Buildings and improvements 10,563 Subtotal 12,627 Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization 2,720 Total $ 9,907 |

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN | Defined Benefit Plan San Jose Water Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for its eligible employees. Employees hired before March 31, 2008 are entitled to receive retirement benefits using a formula based on the employee's three highest years of compensation (whether or not consecutive). For employees hired on or after March 31, 2008, benefits are determined using a cash balance formula based on compensation credits and interest credits for each employee. Officers hired before March 31, 2008 are eligible to receive additional retirement benefits under the Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan, and officers hired on or after March 31, 2008 are eligible to receive additional retirement benefits under the Cash Balance Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT AND NONREGULATED BUSINESS REPORTING | Segment and Non-Tariffed Business Reporting SJW Corp. is a holding company with five subsidiaries: (i) San Jose Water Company, a water utility which operates both regulated and non-tariffed businesses, (ii) SJW Land Company and its consolidated variable interest entity, 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P., which operate commercial building rentals, (iii) SJWTX, Inc. which is doing business as Canyon Lake Water Service Company (“CLWSC”), a regulated water utility located in Canyon Lake, Texas, and its consolidated non-tariffed variable interest entity, Acequia Water Supply Corporation, (iv) Texas Water Alliance Limited, a non-tariffed water utility operation which has acquired permits and leases necessary to develop a water supply project in Texas, and (v) SJW Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed in March 2015 for the sole purpose of effectuating a change in the state of incorporation of SJW Corp. from California to Delaware. The CPUC and Public Utilities Commission of Texas (“PUCT”) issued a decision authorizing the reincorporation on May 26, 2016 and March 24, 2016, respectively. We intend to cause the reincorporation to become effective in the second half of 2016, subject to the completion of certain legal formalities, including obtaining required consents by certain third parties. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280 – “Segment Reporting,” SJW Corp. has determined that it has two reportable business segments. The first segment is that of providing water utility and utility-related services to its customers through SJW Corp.'s subsidiaries, San Jose Water Company, Canyon Lake Water Service Company, and Texas Water Alliance Limited, together referred to as “Water Utility Services.” The second segment is property management and investment activity conducted by SJW Land Company, referred to as “Real Estate Services.” SJW Corp.'s reportable segments have been determined based on information used by the chief operating decision maker. SJW Corp.'s chief operating decision maker includes the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and his senior staff. The senior staff reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis that is accompanied by disaggregated information about operating revenue, net income and total assets, by subsidiaries. The tables below set forth information relating to SJW Corp.'s reportable segments and distribution of regulated and non-tariffed business activities within the reportable segments.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Long-Term Liabilities and Bank Borrowings | Long-Term Liabilities and Bank Borrowings SJW Corp.'s contractual obligations and commitments include senior notes, mortgages and other obligations. San Jose Water Company, a subsidiary of SJW Corp., has received advance deposit payments from its customers on certain construction projects. Refunds of the advance deposit payments constitute an obligation of San Jose Water Company solely. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2015-03, “Interest — Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” which became effective for SJW Corp. during the first quarter of 2016. ASU 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs for term debt in the balance sheet by requiring the debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the related debt liability, rather than recorded as an asset. In August 2015, ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements,” was issued to provide clarification to ASU 2015-03. The standard specifies that the SEC would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This standard required application on a retrospective basis. Upon adoption of the standard, SJW Corp. reclassified the presentation of debt issuance costs totaling $3,561 and $3,638 which was originally included in unamortized debt issuance, broker and reacquisition costs against its long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. There was no impact from adopting the new standard on SJW Corp.'s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Changes in Shareholders' Equity, and Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and year ended December 31, 2015 . On June 1, 2016, San Jose Water Company entered into a $125,000 credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the lender (the “Lender”). The Credit Agreement provides an unsecured credit facility with a letter of credit sublimit of $10,000 . Proceeds of borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used to refinance existing debt, for working capital, and for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of June 1, 2021. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and events of default, as well as certain restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and investments, restricted payments, asset sales, and fundamental changes. The Credit Agreement also includes certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a maximum funded debt to capitalization ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. On June 1, 2016, the company entered into a fourth amendment to San Jose Water Company’s existing $85,000 credit agreement, dated as of March 1, 2012, as amended from time to time (the “WF Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) thereby reducing the maximum principal amount available under such line of credit to $3,060 . Pursuant to such amendment, no further borrowing is permitted under the WF Credit Agreement and the WF Credit Agreement will remain outstanding for the sole purpose of reimbursing Wells Fargo for any draws against outstanding letters of credit totaling $3,000 for the California Department of Water Resources' Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (“SDWSRF”) loans and related fees until such letters of credit are replaced or terminated. All outstanding borrowings under the WF Credit Agreement have been paid off as of June 30, 2016 . Under both the Credit Agreement and the WF Credit Agreement total borrowings shall not exceed $125,000 . On June 29, 2016, San Jose Water Company paid off the SDWSRF loans' remaining balance of $1,823 which had a maturity date in 2027. On June 1, 2016, SJW Corp. and SJW Land Company (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a $15,000 credit agreement with the Lender (the “SJW Corp. Credit Agreement”), which provides an unsecured credit facility to the Borrowers with a letter of credit sublimit of $5,000 . The SJW Corp. Credit Agreement matures on June 1, 2021. Borrowings under the SJW Corp. Credit Agreement bear interest under the same terms and conditions as those in the Credit Agreement. The SJW Corp. Credit Agreement replaced the then outstanding $15,000 credit agreement, dated March 1, 2012, as amended from time to time, between the Borrowers and Wells Fargo, which was paid off and terminated. In addition, on June 1, 2016, SJW Corp., as guarantor, and SJWTX, Inc. (the “Borrower”), entered into a $5,000 credit agreement with the Lender (the “SJWTX Credit Agreement”), which provides an unsecured credit facility to the Borrower with a letter of credit sublimit of $1,000 . The SJWTX Credit Agreement matures on June 1, 2021. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT | Fair Value Measurement The following instruments are not measured at fair value on the SJW Corp.'s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2016 , but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of such instruments as of June 30, 2016 approximates their carrying value as reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of such financial instruments are determined using the income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. There have been no changes in valuation technique during the three months ended June 30, 2016 . The fair value of these instruments would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which would be categorized as Level 1. The fair value of pension plan assets is discussed in Note 4. The fair value of SJW Corp.'s long-term debt was approximately $481,687 and $500,035 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, and was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the current rates for similar financial instruments of the same duration and creditworthiness of the company. The book value of the long-term debt was $ 375,793 and $ 380,678 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The fair value of long-term debt would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the fair value of the Company's investment in California Water Service Group was $3,493 and $6,030 , respectively, and would be categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. |

Regulatory Rate Filings | Regulatory Rate Filings On January 5, 2015, San Jose Water Company filed General Rate Case Application No. 15-01-002 requesting authority for an increase of revenue of $34,928 , or 12.22% , in 2016, $9,954 , or 3.11% , in 2017 and $17,567 , or 5.36% , in 2018. On June 9, 2016 the CPUC issued Decision 16-06-004 approving two partial settlements, resolving disputed issues and adopting revenue requirements for San Jose Water Company. The decision authorizes an increase of 8.60% in authorized revenue requirement effective January 1, 2016. Updated rates were implemented on June 14, 2016. Rates and revenue for 2017 and 2018 will be determined based on the forecasted change in the consumer price index from the preceding year. The decision also approved the requested recovery of the net under-collected balance of $3,776 accumulated in various balancing and memorandum accounts. This balance was previously recorded by the Company as revenue through the balancing and memorandum accounts in prior periods in accordance with San Jose Water Company's revenue recognition policy. Since a decision was not reached by the end of 2015, the CPUC authorized San Jose Water Company to implement a surcharge to true-up the difference between interim rates for the period January 1, 2016 to the implementation date of updated rates on June 14, 2016. On June 28, 2016, San Jose Water Company filed Advice Letter 492 seeking recovery of $8,767 which was not collected over the period January 1, 2016 through June 13, 2016 due to the delayed decision. Subsequently, under the CPUC staff's direction, this filing was amended to include previously uncollected revenue from the prior general rate case in the amount of $524 , for a total recovery of $9,291 . San Jose Water Company's request was approved and a surcharge of $0.1832 per CCF was implemented effective July 9, 2016 to recover this balance. On July 30, 2015, San Jose Water Company filed Application No. 15-07-027 with the CPUC seeking the authorization to implement a reincorporation of San Jose Water Company's parent holding company, SJW Corp., from its present form as a California corporation to a Delaware corporation. On May 26, 2016, the CPUC issued Decision 16-05-037 authorizing the reincorporation. On June 10, 2016, San Jose Water Company filed Advice Letter No. 490 with the CPUC requesting authorization to increase revenues by $21,439 , or approximately 6.72% . This increase is intended to recover increased costs for purchased water and ground water production charged by the SCVWD. As directed by the CPUC's Water Division, the revenue increase will be recovered via surcharges on the existing quantity rate. The request was authorized and effective on July 1, 2016. San Jose Water Company filed Advice Letters 491 and 493 on June 24, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively, with the CPUC to revise the existing Tariff Rule 14.1 which is a water shortage contingency plan with mandatory water usage reductions and drought surcharges. The applicable tariffs were revised to reflect the locally-developed conservation standard of a 20% reduction from 2013 usage levels. With these advice letters San Jose Water Company proposed to ease the existing drought allocations and existing drought rules. San Jose Water Company's requested changes were approved by the CPUC with an effective date of July 1, 2016. Effective September 1, 2014, CLWSC became subject to the economic regulation of the PUCT. Prior to that time, CLWSC was subject to economic regulation by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”). Both the PUCT and TCEQ authorize rate increases after the filing of an Application for a Rate/Tariff Change. Rate cases may be filed as they become necessary, provided there is no current rate case outstanding. Further, rate cases may not be filed more frequently than once every 12 months. |
Balancing and Memorandum Accoun
Balancing and Memorandum Account Recovery Procedures | 6 Months Ended |
Jun. 30, 2016 | |
Regulated Operations [Abstract] | |
BALANCING AND MEMORANDUM ACCOUNT RECOVERY PROCEDURES | Balancing and Memorandum Account Recovery Procedures In California, San Jose Water Company has established a balancing account mechanism for the purpose of tracking the under-collection or over-collection associated with expense changes and the revenue authorized by the CPUC to offset those expense changes. San Jose Water Company also maintains memorandum accounts to track revenue impacts due to catastrophic events, certain unforeseen water quality expenses related to new federal and state water quality standards, energy efficiency, WCMA, drought surcharges, Monterey Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism, and other approved activities or as directed by the CPUC. Balancing and memorandum accounts are recognized by San Jose Water Company when it is probable that future recovery of previously incurred costs or future refunds that are to be credited to customers will occur through the ratemaking process. In addition, in the case of special revenue programs such as the WCMA, San Jose Water Company follows the requirements of ASC Topic 980-605-25—“Alternative Revenue Programs” in determining revenue recognition, including the requirement that such revenues will be collected within 24 months of the year-end in which the revenue is recorded. A reserve will be recorded for amounts SJW Corp. estimates will not be collected within the 24-month period. This reserve is based on the difference between authorized usage in the last general rate case decision and an estimate of actual usage over the recovery period, offset by applicable drought surcharges. In assessing the probability criteria for balancing and memorandum accounts between general rate cases, San Jose Water Company considers evidence that may exist prior to CPUC authorization that would satisfy ASC Topic 980 subtopic 340-25 recognition criteria. Such evidence may include regulatory rules and decisions, past practices, and other facts and circumstances that would indicate that recovery or refund is probable. When such evidence provides sufficient support, the balances are recorded in SJW Corp.'s financial statements. Based on ASC Topic 980-605-25, San Jose Water Company recognized $3,747 and $6,761 of lost revenues accumulated in the 2016 WCMA account for three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. This regulatory asset was offset by a regulatory liability in the amount of $3,747 and $6,761 for three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively, created by Tariff Rule 14.1 drought surcharges collected during the same period as allowed for in Advice Letter 473A which was approved by the CPUC and became effective June 15, 2015. These amounts have been recorded in the 2016 WCMA row shown in the tables below. On June 28, 2016, San Jose Water Company filed Advice Letter 492 for a surcharge of $8,767 to true-up the difference between interim rates and 2015 General Rate Case authorized rates, which is expected to be collected during a 12-month recovery period once approved.
