Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segments Business Segments
AWR has 3 reportable segments, water, electric and contracted services. Since July 1, 2020, GSWC has 1 segment, water. Prior to July 1, 2020, GSWC also had an electric segment. On July 1, 2020, GSWC completed the transfer of the electric utility assets and liabilities from its electric division to BVESI, now a wholly owned direct subsidiary of AWR. As a result of this transfer, from July 1, 2020 onward, operating results and cash flows of the electric segment, as well as its assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020, are no longer included in GSWC's financial statements, but continue to be included in AWR's consolidated financial statements (Note 20). On a stand-alone basis, AWR has no material assets other than its equity investments in its subsidiaries and note receivables therefrom, and deferred taxes.
All activities of GSWC and BVESI are geographically located within California.  Activities of ASUS and the Military Utility Privatization Subsidiaries are conducted in California, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.  Each of the Military Utility Privatization Subsidiaries is regulated, if applicable, by the state in which the subsidiary primarily conducts water and/or wastewater operations.  Fees charged for operations and maintenance and renewal and replacement services are based upon the terms of the contracts with the U.S. government which have been filed, as appropriate, with the commissions in the states in which ASUS’s subsidiaries are incorporated.
The tables below set forth information relating to the water and electric operating segments, ASUS and the Military Utility Privatization Subsidiaries and other matters. The utility plant balances are net of respective accumulated provisions for depreciation. Capital additions reflect capital expenditures paid in cash and exclude U.S. government-funded and third-party prime funded capital expenditures for ASUS and property installed by developers and conveyed to GSWC and BVESI.
