Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
General | General In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in SJW Group’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. SJW Group is a holding company with five wholly-owned subsidiaries: San Jose Water Company (“SJWC”), SJWNE LLC, SJWTX, Inc., SJW Land Company, and SJW Holdings, Inc. SJWNE LLC is the holding company for Connecticut Water Service, Inc. (“CTWS”) whose wholly-subsidiaries are The Connecticut Water Company (“Connecticut Water”), The Maine Water Company (“Maine Water”), New England Water Utility Services, Inc. (“NEWUS”), and Chester Realty, Inc. SJWC, Connecticut Water, SJWTX, Inc. doing business as Canyon Lake Water Service Company (“CLWSC”), Maine Water and NEWUS are referred to as “Water Utility Services.” SJW Land Company and Chester Realty, Inc. are collectively referred to as “Real Estate Services.” Revenue Water sales are seasonal in nature and influenced by weather conditions. The timing of precipitation and climatic conditions can cause seasonal water consumption by customers to vary significantly. Due to the seasonal nature of the water business, the operating results for interim periods are not indicative of the operating results for a 12-month period. Revenue is generally higher in the warm, dry summer months when water usage and sales are greater, and lower in the winter months when cooler temperatures and increased precipitation curtail water usage resulting in lower sales. The major streams of revenue for SJW Group are as follows:

Fair Value Measurement The following instruments are not measured at fair value on SJW Group’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022, but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of such instruments as of March 31, 2022, approximates their carrying value as reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of such financial instruments were 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, 2022. 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 SJW Group’s long-term debt was approximately $1,493,425 and $1,651,825 as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, and was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the current rates for similar financial instruments of the same duration and creditworthiness of the company. The book value of long-term debt was $1,530,475 and $1,532,041 as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Connecticut Water Service, Inc.’s (“CTWS”) additional retirement benefits under the supplemental executive retirement plans and retirement contracts are funded by investment assets held by a Rabbi Trust. The fair value of the money market funds, mutual funds and fixed income investments in the Rabbi Trust was $3,469 and $3,797 as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common stockholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with restricted common stock awards under SJW Group’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Incentive Plan”), shares potentially issuable under the performance stock plans assumed through the business combination with CTWS, and shares potentially issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 10,860 and 8,579 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively.
