<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This filing and the following documents contain forward-looking statements within the meaning established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (&#147;Act&#148;). The forward-looking statements are intended to qualify under provisions of the federal securities laws for &#147;safe harbor&#148; treatment established by the Act. Forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections, and management&#146;s judgment about California Water, the water utility industry and general economic conditions. Such words as would, expects, intends, plans, believes, estimates, assumes, anticipates, projects, predicts, forecasts or variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may vary materially from what is contained in a forward-looking statement. Factors that may cause a result different than expected or anticipated include, but are not limited to: the failure to consummate the proposed transaction with SJW upon the terms set forth in California Water&#146;s Acquisition Proposal; governmental and regulatory commissions&#146; decisions; changes in regulatory commissions&#146; policies and procedures; the timeliness of regulatory commissions&#146; actions concerning rate relief; changes in environmental compliance and water quality requirements; electric power interruptions; changes in customer water use patterns and the effects of conservation; the impact of weather and climate on water availability, water sales and operating results; civil disturbances or terrorist threats or acts, or apprehension about the possible future occurrences of acts of this type; labor relations matters as we negotiate with the unions; restrictive covenants in or changes to the credit ratings on our current or future debt that could increase our financing costs or affect our ability to borrow, make payments on debt or pay dividends; and, other risks and unforeseen events. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements included in this paragraph, as well as our Annual 10-K, Quarterly 10-Q, and other reports filed from time-to-time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. California Water assumes no obligation to provide public updates of forward-looking statements except to the extent required by law.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">I am writing you regarding the proposed merger between San Jose Water and Connecticut Water which was announced publicly, but is not expected to come before the CPUC for its approval.&#160; I understand that California Water Service Company (Cal Water) is also interested in merging with San Jose Water, and that if this were to occur instead of the merger with Connecticut Water, the matter would be presented to the CPUC for review and approval.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">It is my understanding that Cal Water is proposing to buy and merge with San Jose Water Company, another large California water utility.&#160; I have also represented employees at that company, which has generally experienced good labor relations.&#160; If this merger is successful,&nbsp;I believe the outcome would be good for the combined company&#146;s employees, its customers and the communities that it serves.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Dear President Picker and Commissioners,</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As the Mayor of San Jos&#233;, America&#146;s l0th largest city,&nbsp;I have concerns about the proposed &#147;merger of equals&#148; between San Jos&#233; Water Group (SJW Group)&#151;the holding company for San Jos&#233; Water Company (SJWC), which serves nearly 80 percent of San Jos&#233;&#146;s residents and businesses, along with many of our neighboring cities&#151;and Connecticut Water Service Company.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Specifically,&nbsp;I express concerns about potential harms to San Jos&#233;&#146;s one million residents, and I request that you require that SJWC and SJW Group file an application for the merger to be reviewed by the California Public Utilities Commission (&#147;Commission&#148;). I seek the Commission&#146;s determination of whether this merger serves the public interest prior to allowing the merger to proceed. The Commission might do so by issuing an Order to Show Cause to require SJWC and SJW Group to demonstrate why the Commission should not review the merger, and impose any sanctions for SJW Group&#146;s failure to timely file an application seeking the Commission&#146;s review and approval.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">Recent history provides ample basis for my concerns about SJWC&#146;s rate practices and service levels. We have heard from hundreds of residents and ratepayers who have objected to the steep rate increases from which SJWC has benefitted, including controversial methodology for imposing drought surcharges. Last year, a local advocacy group identified at least $1.8 million in overcharges, which SJWC eventually admitted that it had improperly imposed on ratepayers. We have reason to believe that the Commission has ample basis to investigate tariff billing issues,</font>  </font>and the size of refund due to SJWC&#146;s ratepayers.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a ratepayer itself, the City of San Jos&#233; has formally joined General Rate Case as a party, both to protect our interests as a ratepayer, as well as those of our residents and businesses. This only came about after filing multiple letters to the Commission to ask for increased scrutiny to the company&#146;s &#147;Cost of Capital&#148; and General Rate Case applications. We have hosted public participation hearings in City Hall on these issues, including one later this month. Our City Council has also endorsed Senate Bill 959 (Beall), which would require the Commission to post water utilities&#146; Advice Letters online for public review when considering a rate change petition, an obvious response by our local Senator to years of frustration experienced by local ratepayers.</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font style="font-size:10.0pt;">We appreciate that SJWC&#146;s executives and equity owners may have strong financial incentives to consummate this merger. SJWC&#146;s customers, however, deserve assurance that the proposed merger with a company 3,000 miles away will provide verifiable benefits to the more than</font>  </font>200,000 families and businesses served by SJWC. Only with the Commission&#146;s leadership and objective inquiry can we have assurance that our communities will benefit from the proposed merger, so I respectfully request that the Commission exert its jurisdiction over the matter.</p>
