Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 4, 2005, SJWTX Water, Inc. ("SJWTX Water"), a newly
formed Texas corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp.,
and Canyon Lake Water Supply Corporation, a Texas nonprofit water
supply corporation ("CLWSC"), signed an Asset Purchase Agreement
pursuant to which SJWTX Water agreed to purchase substantially all
the assets of CLWSC related to its water system.

The Asset Purchase Agreement will become effective when CLWSC
receives written notification from the Texas Water Development
Board that:  (i) certain CLWSC Bond Debt held by the Texas Water
Development Board may be discharged or otherwise purchased by
SJWTX Water at closing and (ii) the Texas Water Development Board
will authorize certain amendments to CLWSC's organizational
documents necessary for CLWSC to consummate the transaction as
contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The purchase price of the assets consists of (i) $3.2 million in
cash payable to CLWSC at closing, (ii) SJWTX Water's assumption,
retirement or recapitalization of all of CLWSC's outstanding debt
and bond obligations (approximately $20 million), and (iii) SJWTX
Water's payment of certain CLWSC transaction expenses.

Once the Asset Purchase Agreement becomes effective, the
acquisition will be subject to the satisfaction of various closing
conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, including
obtaining the required approval of the members of CLWSC, the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality, and any other approvals
required under the parties' governing documents and agreements and
applicable laws and regulations.
