Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Liquidity and Capital Resources:

        On November 1, 1994 San Jose Water Company ("SJWC") will
        retire its 4.65% Series M first mortgage bonds in the
        amount of $2,000,000, plus accrued interest.

        SJWC's 1994 construction budget of $10,100,000 will be
        funded by cash flow from operations and the commercial
        bank line of credit.  SJWC does not currently intend to
        issue long-term debt in 1994.

        As of March 31, 1994, SJWC had $1,100,000 outstanding on
        its commercial bank line of credit.  The line of credit
        provides for unsecured borrowings of up to $15,000,000 at
        rates which approximate the bank's reference rate.


        Results of Operations:

        First Quarter of 1994

        First quarter 1994 operating revenue increased $1,815,000
        or 10.6%, from the first quarter 1993, while operating
        expense increased $2,338,000, or 15.7%.  The increase in
        revenue results primarily from a 14% increase in usage
        over the first quarter of 1993.  The increase in
        operating expense is due primarily to a 1.1 billion
        gallon, or 71% decrease in surface water supplies.
        Surface water is the least costly of SJWC's sources of
        water supply.

        Consolidated earnings per common share for the first
        quarter of 1994 were $0.25, as compared to earnings of
        $0.43 per common share in the first quarter of 1993.

        Since the water business is highly seasonal in nature, a
        comparison of the revenues and expenses of the current
        quarter with the immediately preceding quarter would not
        be meaningful.  The first quarter is normally the quarter
        with the lowest average usage per metered customer and is
        not indicative of the results for the calendar year.

        Water Supply

        SJWC and its wholesale supplier, the Santa Clara Valley
        Water District, terminated mandatory water rationing
        effective March 14, 1993.  In place of the terminated
        mandatory water rationing plan the Company instituted a
        voluntary conservation program intended to achieve a 15%
        reduction in usage from the 1987 pre-drought usage
        levels.

        During the recent six year drought, customers installed
        various water savings devices, changed landscaping to
        include drought resistant plants and modified water
        consumption behavior.  SJWC actively promotes these and
        other effective water conservation programs in conjunction
        with various governmental agencies.  Over time, these
        conservation efforts may result in permanently lowering
        water usage.

        Regulatory Affairs

        Concurrent with the end of mandatory rationing the
        Company terminated its mandatory rationing memorandum
        account and ceased to levy conservation fees upon
        customers who exceed their allotted usage.  The Company
        will no longer be able to recover revenue lost due to
        mandatory water rationing or conservation through the
        mandatory water rationing memorandum account, nor will it
        be able to collect penalties and a surcharge.

        The CPUC has authorized the Company to establish a
        voluntary conservation memorandum account which will
        track revenue lost due to voluntary conservation.  If the
        Company elects to recover amounts recorded in the
        voluntary conservation memorandum account it will endeavor
        to do so in its next general rate case.
