Additional 402(v) Disclosure [Text Block] TSR is cumulative for the measurement periods beginning on December 31, 2019 and ending on December 31 of each of 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, calculated in accordance with Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. The S&P 1000 Utilities Index is the same index we use in our relative TSR plan to help determine compensation for our named executive officers and is described as such in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section.
Narrative Disclosure to Pay Versus Performance Table
Relationship between Financial Performance Measures
The line graphs below compare: (i) the compensation actually paid to our CEO and the average of the compensation actually paid to our remaining named executive officers, with (ii) our cumulative TSR, (iii) Comparator Group TSR, (iv) our Net Income, and (v) our Adjusted Diluted EPS, in each case, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
TSR amounts reported in the graph assume an initial fixed investment of $100, and that all dividends, if any, were reinvested.

Measure Name •Adjusted diluted EPS    
Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block] Adjusted Diluted EPS is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted Diluted EPS is defined as income available to common stockholders, adjusted for certain compensation-related items, and non-recurring items such as merger-related costs, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with deferred restricted common stock awards under SJW Group’s Long-Term Incentive Plan and shares potentially issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Refer to Appendix III of this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
