Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Revenue from Contract with Customer | Revenues Most of Registrant's revenues are derived from contracts with customers, including tariff-based revenues from its regulated utilities at GSWC and BVESI. ASUS's initial 50-year firm fixed-price contracts with the U.S. government are considered service concession arrangements under ASC 853, Service Concession Arrangements. Accordingly, the services under these contracts are accounted for under Topic 606—Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and the water and/or wastewater systems are not recorded as Property, Plant and Equipment on Registrant’s balance sheets. Although GSWC and BVESI have a diversified base of residential, commercial, industrial, and other customers, revenues derived from residential and commercial customers generally account for approximately 90% of total water and electric revenues. The vast majority of ASUS's revenues are from the U.S. government. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, disaggregated revenues from contracts with customers by segment were as follows:

The opening and closing balances of the receivable from the U.S. government, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers, which are related entirely to ASUS, were as follows:
(dollar in thousands) |  | March 31, 2021 |  | December 31, 2020
Unbilled receivables |  | $ | 13,302 |  |  | $ | 14,924 |
Receivable from the U.S. government |  | $ | 75,979 |  |  | $ | 74,670 |
Contract assets |  | $ | 13,726 |  |  | $ | 10,257 |
Contract liabilities |  | $ | 1,049 |  |  | $ | 1,800 |
Contract Assets - Contract assets are those of ASUS and consist of unbilled revenues recognized from work-in-progress construction projects, where the right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. The classification of this asset as current or noncurrent is based on the timing of when ASUS expects to bill these amounts. Contract Liabilities - Contract liabilities are those of ASUS and consist of billings in excess of revenue recognized. The classification of this liability as current or noncurrent is based on the timing of when ASUS expects to recognize revenue. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which were included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period were $838,000. Contracted services revenues recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods were not material. As of March 31, 2021, Registrant's aggregate remaining performance obligations, which are entirely for the contracted services segment, were $3.2 billion. Registrant expects to recognize revenue on these remaining performance obligations over the remaining term of each of the 50-year contracts, which range from 34 to 47 years. Each of the contracts with the U.S. government is subject to termination, in whole or in part, prior to the end of its 50-year term for convenience of the U.S. government.
