           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                          June 30, 1994



     NOTE I - General

       In the opinion of SJW Corp., the accompanying
       unaudited consolidated financial statements
       contain all adjustments, consisting only
       of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the
       fair presentation of the results for the interim
       periods.

       The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

       Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying
       consolidated financial statements.

       PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

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

        Liquidity and Capital Resources:

        San Jose Water Company's ("SJWC") liquidity and capital
        are provided through cash flow from operations and
        through long-term debt and a line of credit.  Results of
        operations are described in a following section.

        SJWC will redeem at maturity, on November 1, 1994, its
        4.65% Series M first mortgage bonds in the amount of
        $2,000,000.  No other redemption or sinking fund payments
        for other first mortgage bonds or long-term debt will be
        made in 1994.

        SJWC's weighted average cost of long-term debt at June
        30, 1994, including the amortization of debt issuance
        costs, was 8.23% compared to 8.78% at June 30, 1993.

        SJWC has a commercial bank line of credit that provides
        for unsecured borrowings of up to $15,000,000 at rates
        which approximate the bank's prime or reference rate.  At
        June 30, 1994, SJWC had no outstanding borrowings on its
        line of credit.

        SJWC's 1994 company-financed (excluding capital
        expenditures financed by advances and contributions)
        construction budget of $10,500,000 will be funded by cash
        flow from operations and, if necessary, line of credit borrowings.

        Results of Operations:

        Since the water business is highly seasonal in nature,
        comparisons of the current quarter with the immediately
        preceding quarter are not meaningful.  One quarter's
        results of operations are not indicative of results for
        the entire year.

        Quarter ended June 30, 1994

        Consolidated earnings per common share for the second
        quarter of 1994 were $0.97, compared to earnings of $.74
        per common share in the second quarter of 1993.

        Second quarter 1994 operating revenue increased
        $2,868,000 or 12%, from the second quarter of 1993 due
        primarily to a 14% increase in usage by SJWC customers.
        Total operating expense increased $2,145,000, or 11%, due
        to a lack of surface water which resulted in higher
        production costs.

        Six Months Ended June 30, 1994

        Earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1994
        were $1.22, compared to earnings of $1.17 per common
        share for the same period in 1993.

        Operating revenue increased $4,682,000 or less than 11%
        from 1993, while operating expense increased
        approximately $4,491,000 or 13%.  The primary reason for the
        increase is the change in supply mix from less costly surface
        supplies to more costly purchased and pumped supplies.  The
        substantially lower surface supplies can be expected to
        adversely impact the results of operations for the second half
        of 1994, resulting in 1994 earnings below those of 1993.

        Water Supply:

        June brought little or no precipitation to Santa Clara
        County, thus rainfall totals finished the season (July 1,
        1993 to June 30, 1994) at about 70% of average.  The
        Company's reservoirs, which store surface supplies, are
        at base levels and will not be available to meet water
        needs.  Ground water levels for basins in Santa Clara County
        remain considerably above pre-drought levels.

        The California Department of Water Resources reported the
        Sacramento River Index for 1993-1994 as "critical".
        Statewide runoff is now expected to be only 45% of
        average, which is comparable to the 1991 and 1992 drought
        years.

        As a result of relatively low statewide precipitation and
        runoff, imported supplies will be below contract
        entitlements during 1994.

        Average metered usage for both the second quarter and
        year to date increased 14% over similar periods in 1993.

        Regulatory Affairs:

        On June 22, 1994 the California Public Utilities Commission
        rendered its decision on its investigation into the financial
        and operational risks of regulated water utilities.  They
        concluded that no fundamental changes are required in their
        ratemaking procedures at this time based on the risks of an
        endemic water shortage and increased costs of water quality.
        They authorized interest on expense balancing accounts
        and will permit water companies to apply to broaden the
        coverage of existing water quality memorandum accounts.
        The Company and other investor owned water utilities in
        California sought to demonstrate that water shortages and
        increased water quality costs increased operating and
        financial risks and that water utilities should be accorded
        a higher rate of return on equity.
