Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT | Fair Value Measurement The following instruments are not measured at fair value on SJW Group’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020, but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, a money market fund, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of such instruments as of March 31, 2020, 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 techniques during the three months ended March 31, 2020. 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. SJW Group has investments in company owned life insurance which are valued at cash surrender value of the policies as reported by the insurer. These contracts are based principally on a referenced pool of investment funds that actively redeem shares, are observable and measurable, and are presented in “Investments” on SJW Group’s consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2020, the value of the company owned life insurance was $7,207 of which $3,650 was related to assets to fund CTWS’s supplemental retirement plan agreements. As of December 31, 2019, the value of the company owned life insurance was $7,086 of which $3,829 was related to assets to fund CTWS’s supplemental retirement plan agreements. In addition to life insurance contracts, CTWS’s supplemental retirement plan agreements are also funded with a Rabbi Trust. The following tables summarize the fair values of the Rabbi Trust investment assets to fund CTWS’s additional retirement benefits under the supplemental executive retirement plans and retirement contracts by major categories as of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019:
