Notes:

1. Due to the seasonal nature of the water business, the results for interim
   periods are not indicative of the results for a twelve month period.

2. The interim financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of
   management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments
   which are necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the
   periods covered. The adjustments consist only of normal recurring
   adjustments.

3. Basic earnings per share are calculated on the weighted average number of
   common shares outstanding during the period and net income available for
   common stock as shown on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Group
   has no dilutive securities, accordingly, dilutive earnings per share is
   not shown.

4. Refer to 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of significant
   accounting policies and detailed information regarding the financial
   statements.

5. Group operates primarily in one business segment providing water utility
   services.

6. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and Statement of Position
   98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" were adopted during

PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q filing of California Water Service Group ("Group") contains 
forward looking statements.  Readers are directed to review the comments
regarding forward looking statements contained in the Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the
1998 Annual Report to shareholders.  The 1998 Annual Report to shareholders
was incorporated by reference in Group's 1998 Form 10-K filing.

RESULTS OF FIRST QUARTER OPERATIONS
First quarter net income was $2,532,000, equivalent to $0.20 per common share.
This represents an $0.08 or 67% increase from the $0.12 earned in last year's
first quarter.
Operating revenue increased $3,900,000 to $39,125,000.  A return to relatively
normal weather during this year's first quarter resulted in an increase in
customer water usage throughout the service territories.  By comparison,
weather during the first quarter last year was unfavorable and depressed sales
and earnings.  In addition, 3,800 new customers were added in the last twelve
months.  Average revenue per customer increased $9.33 or 10%.  A breakdown of
the increase in operating revenue is accounted for in the following 
table:

General rate increases                  $56,000
Step rate increases                     344,000
Total rate increases                    400,000
Increased consumption                 3,169,000
Usage by new customers                  331,000
Net revenue increase                 $3,900,000


Total operating expenses were $34,329,000 in 1999 versus $30,739,000 in 1998, a
12% increase.
Water production costs which include purchased water, purchased power and 
pump taxes and accounted for 36% of total operating expenses, increased 18%.
Well production provided 46% of the supply with 53% purchased from wholesale
suppliers and the remaining 1% obtained from the San Francisco Peninsula
watershed.  The components of water production costs and the changes from
last year are shown in the following table:


                                     First Quarter	
                             1999   Cost            Change		
Purchased water              $10,041,000        $1,220,000		
Purchased power                1,749,000           427,000	
Pump taxes                       614,000           269,000
Total                        $12,404,000        $1,916,000

The purchased water increase was primarily attributable to the increase in
water production and water credits recorded in 1998, but not available this
year.  Increases in wholesale water rates affecting the Southern California
districts were offset by a wholesale rate decrease for the San Francisco
Peninsula districts.  San Francisco Water Department has notified its
wholesale customers that a 37% rate increase will be effective for invoices 
rendered after July 1, 1999.  The Company expects to pass the purchased water
increase onto retail customers.  Purchased power and pump taxes increased in
response to additional pumping to meet customers' demand and due to a shift
in sources of supply.
Other operations expense categories increased $550,000.  The impact of a general
wage increase, which was effective at the start of the year, additional hours
worked and increases in related employee benefits increased expenses.  Cost
associated with the Dominguez merger also increased this category.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $364,000 mainly due to 
increased depreciation expense authorized by the California Public Utilities
Commission ("Commission") in rate case decisions and a greater depreciable
plant investment.  The additional expense is reflected in customer rates.
Federal and state income taxes increased $663,000 because of greater taxable
income.
Other income and expenses was $994,000.  Other income included $600,000 in 
gains from the sale of real estate parcels as part of the ongoing real estate
program.  Netted against other income was $97,000 of other expenses, which
included contributions and costs of maintaining nonregulated properties.
	
REGULATORY MATTERS
1998 rate case applications were filed with the Commission on July 31, 1998 for
rate increases in four districts (Bear Gulch, East Los Angeles, Hermosa Redondo
and Visalia) representing 25% of total regulated customers.  The applications
requested additional annual revenue of about $7,000,000 with a return on
equity of 11.85%.  A stipulated agreement was reached with the Commission staff
and approval of the agreement by the Commission is expected in mid-May.  The
proposed decision authorizes a 9.55% return on equity providing $1,916,000 in
additional revenue during the first twelve months following its effective date.
In addition, the decision is expected to provide another $2,179,000 in revenue
during its first twelve months for environmental compliance, specific capital
budget expenditures and recovery of General Office expenses.  
As proposed, the decision would generate total new revenue of $4,095,000 in the
first twelve months.  
On January 1, 1999, step rate increases became effective that are estimated to
provide revenue of $1,815,000 .
An application to increase rates in the Hawthorne district which the Company
has operated under a long-term lease since 1996 is also being processed.  In
accordance with the lease agreement, this application will be processed by the
Hawthorne city council.  A decision is expected in the third quarter of 1999.
LIQUIDITY
Interest expense on long-term debt increased by $17,000.  In March, Series B 
6.77% $20 million unsecured senior notes due in 2028 were issued, increasing
interest costs.  The note proceeds were used to repay short-term bank
borrowings.  Short-term interest expense increased $158,000 due to additional
borrowings under the bank line of credit.  At March 31, 1999, $2 million was
borrowed under the credit line at an effective interest rate of 6.33%.  At
March 31, 1998, $12.5 million was outstanding under the credit line.  The bank
credit line which expires on April 30, 1999, is in the process of being
renewed.
The first quarter common dividend was paid on January 15, 1999 at $0.27125 per
share.  The $0.27125 represents a $0.00375 or 1.4% increase in the quarterly
dividend rate from last year as approved by the Board of Directors at their
January meeting.  
Annualized, the 1999 dividend rate is $1.085 per common share compared to $1.07
in 1998.  Based on the 12-month earnings per share at March 31, 1999, the
dividend payout ratio is 71%.  At their April 21, 1999 meeting, Directors
declared the second quarter dividend payable May 15, 1999.
About 11% of the outstanding shares participate in the reinvestment program 
under Group's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan ("Plan").  No new
common shares were issued under the Plan during the quarter.  Shares required
for the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase options were purchased on
the open market and distributed to Plan participants.  Shares are also
purchased on the open market to fulfill the requirements of the Company
sponsored Employee Savings Plan (401K).  Purchases are made on a biweekly
basis.  
Book value per common share was $13.30 at March 31, 1999, compared to 
$12.86 a year earlier.
During the quarter, utility plant expenditures totaled $7,928,000 for additions
to and replacements of utility plant.  Of that amount, $6,485,000 was funded
through  Group's construction budget with the remainder funded by developers'
contributions in aid of construction and refundable advances for construction.
The 1999 Group construction budget is $30,700,000.	
	
WATER SUPPLY
Group believes that its various sources of water supply are sufficient to meet 
customer demand for the remainder of the year.  Historically, about half of the
water source is purchased from wholesale suppliers with the other half pumped
from wells.  
Storage in state reservoirs was 125% of historic average as of February 28,
1999, and groundwater levels remain adequate.  An abundant mountain snowpack
provides runoff to streams and reservoirs as it melts during the summer months.
YEAR 2000 
Readiness:  Group's Year 2000 preparedness team has developed and is
implementing a Year 2000 readiness plan.  The Group retained an outside
independent consultant who reviewed and evaluated the Year 2000 readiness
plan.  The consultant's report was positive, but identified certain areas
that require additional attention that is being given to 
implement the consultant's recommendations.  
Generally, computer operations are centralized at a single location.  The 
information technology (IT) group has inventoried its various software
programs and identified modifications required to make the programs Year
2000 ready.  Most computer applications are currently processed on a
mainframe based system, however, as part of a technology upgrade, a local
area network (LAN) computer system that includes Year 
2000 ready servers and personal computers, was installed during 1998.  A new
Year 2000 compatible accounting, purchasing and human resources software
program package is being installed on the LAN system.  Certain accounting
applications have already been migrated to the LAN system and others are in
the process of being converted.  During the first quarter, good progress was
made on installing the new accounting, purchasing and human resources computer
software.  As scheduled, customer billing applications are predominately Y2K
compatible and the remaining work for full readiness is scheduled for 
completion by mid-year.  
Group has also identified non-computer equipment and operating systems that 
potentially contain embedded date sensitive chips.  Steps have been taken to
make the equipment and systems Year 2000 ready.
Suppliers and vendors with whom the Group has a material business 
relationship were contacted during 1998 to assess their Year 2000 preparedness.
The vendors and suppliers were contacted again during the first quarter to 
determine that they will not encounter Year 2000 problems that might disrupt
the 
Group's business processes.  Those contacted include water wholesalers, power 
supply companies, chemical vendors, fuel suppliers, banks and stock registrar.
This process is being repeated in 1999 as operating units continue to work with
suppliers and vendors to assure availability of necessary products and supplies.
A survey of each of  Group's district water operations has also been completed
to assess specific needs within each district.  
Costs: The estimated remediation cost for Year 2000 preparedness is about 
$300,000.  Included in the estimate is the cost of the outside consultant and
computer programming time.  The costs of the new LAN system and software
package were not included in the estimate since their implementation and
installation date were not Year 2000 driven.  No IT projects have been
deferred as a result of the Year 2000 efforts.
Risks: In a worst case scenario, Group may be unable to deliver water to its
some or all of its customers because wholesale suppliers cannot provide water
to the Group or power supplies are not available to operate pumping equipment.
Additionally, it may be impossible to produce customer bills or maintain
accounting functions if power sources are not available or computer billing
programs due not function due to Year 2000 failures.  
Group is not able to estimate the potential financial impact of these
scenarios.	Because there is an increased threat of litigation due to
potential Year 2000 problems, Group is evaluating its insurance policies to
determine if they provide coverage of Year 2000 issues.
Contingency Plans: Each district maintains an emergency response plan that is
reviewed and updated on a regular basis.  These plans are designed to provide
for alternative operating plans and procedures in the event normal procedures
are interrupted.  
The emergency plans are the basis for developing Year 2000 service interruption
plans.  
Fixed site and portable auxiliary power generators are located throughout the
service territories.  These generators are designed to produce electric power
for wells and pumps to supply water to customers in the event power suppliers
experience an outages.  
If a power supplier is unable to deliver electricity, the auxiliary generators
would be used as a substitute source.  
Emergency water connections are maintained between Group's water systems and 
those of adjacent purveyors.  In the event of loss of a wholesale water supply
or a power outage, the emergency connections could be operated to provide a
water supply.
Each district has identified high profile water users, such as hospitals, and 
developed contingency plans for continued service in the event of a Year 2000
disruption.
During the first quarter, each department and operating district completed
another detailed review of its plan to address Y2K issues.  The plans include:
- - Establishing a timeline to ascertain vendors' ability to provide crucial
products and services, informing employees of Y2K efforts and responsibilities,
scheduling maintenance so that water delivery facilities are on line at
year-end, arranging for alternate water and power supplies
- - Conducting "what if" exercises to develop responses to loss of water or power
outages from normal sources
- - Identifying plans to provide water service to critical vendors, such as
hospitals
- - Assuring that measures are in place to maintain water quality and testing
- - Arranging for equipment needs and supplies should Y2K problems develop
- - Scheduling employees to be on duty or available for duty

DOMINGUEZ MERGER	
On March 22, 1999, Group and Dominguez Services Corporation agreed to an 
amendment of the November 13, 1998 merger agreement between the two companies.
The amendment was in response to an unsolicited, competing proposal from
American States Water Company.  The Dominguez board determined that American
States' proposal provided more favorable terms to its shareholders than the
original agreement with Group.  Subsequent to the announcement of the March
22 amendment, American States issued a press release stating that it would
not submit any further proposals to acquire Dominguez.
The amendment changed the terms of the conversion ratio so that each share of 
Dominguez common stock will be converted into the right to receive between 1.25
and 1.49 shares of Cal Water common stock.  The precise conversion ratio will
depend upon the average price of Cal Water stock for a twenty-day period
preceding the transaction's closing date.  The conversion ratio is designed
to give Dominguez shareholders the equivalent of $33.75 for each Dominguez
share.  Dominguez shareholders are scheduled to vote on the merger on
May 12, 1999.  The merger remains subject to various 
regulatory approvals and is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 1999,
however, the Commission has given indications that their process will not be
complete until the first quarter of 2000.


REINCORPORATION IN DELAWARE
As noted in Part II of this report, common and preferred shareholders approved
the proxy proposal to reincorporate California Water Service Group as a
Delaware corporation.  Group will now proceed with its plans for
reincorporation.  California Water Service Company and CWS Utility Services
will remain California corporations.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There were no accounting pronouncements issued during the period that would 
have a significant impact on Group.  
	
MARKET RISK
Group does not hold, trade in or issue derivative financial instruments and 
therefore is not exposed to the risks these instruments present.  
Group's market risk to interest rate exposure is limited because the cost of
long-term financing, including interest costs, are covered in consumer water
rates as approved by the Commission.  Group does not have foreign operations,
therefore, it does not have a foreign currency exchange risk.
Group's sensitivity to commodity prices is most affected by changes in
purchased water and purchased power costs.  Through the Commission's
balancing account procedures, increases in purchased water and purchased
power costs can be passed onto consumers. Group manages other commodity
price exposure primarily through the duration and terms of its vendor
contracts.
