Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operation.

         Dominguez Services Corporation (the Company) has two wholly-owned
         subsidiaries: Dominguez Water Company and its operating subsidiaries
         (Dominguez), which are involved in regulated water supply and
         distribution, and DSC Investments, which is involved in non-regulated,
         water-related services and investments.

         FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act")
         provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage
         registrants to provide prospective information about their companies
         without fear of litigation so long as the statements are identified as
         forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful, cautionary
         statements identifying important factors that could cause actual
         results to differ materially from those projected in the statement.
         Words such as "estimates," "expects," "anticipates," "plans,"
         "believes," "projects," and similar expressions identify
         forward-looking statements.

         Certain statements in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking and, as such,
         involve risk and uncertainty. Uncertainties arise from management
         estimates about weather, environmental issues, legal contingencies and
         other matters which management cannot predict or are outside of their
         control, such as Y2K compliance by the Company's vendors. Actual
         results may vary from those projected or implied. This Form 10-Q should
         be read in conjunction with the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form
         10-K which includes: consolidated financial statements and footnote
         disclosures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles; management's discussion and analysis of financial condition
         and results of operations; and a detailed description of the Company's
         business.

         MERGER AGREEMENT

         As previously announced, on November 13, 1998, the Company executed an
         Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Merger Agreement) to merge
         with California Water Service Group (CWSG). On March 22, 1999, the
         Company and CWSG executed an amendment to the Merger Agreement, which
         provides that each share of the Company's common stock will be
         converted into the right to receive a number of CWSG common shares
         which is intended to provide $33.75 of value for each of the Company's
         shares. The amendment to the Merger Agreement also provides that the
         minimum and maximum conversion ratios will be 1.25 and 1.49 CWSG shares
         for each Company share.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         On April 7, 1999, the Company mailed the proxy prospectus to
         shareholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 1999. At a
         Special Meeting of Shareholders held on May 12, 1999, the Merger
         Agreement was approved.

         On February 5, 1999, the Company's regulated water company (Dominguez)
         and CWSG's regulated utility (Cal Water) filed a joint application the
         California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) requesting its approval
         for the proposed merger. In May a preliminary hearing was held and a
         schedule was set calling for the CPUC Staff to issue its report in mid
         October and for evidentiary hearings to begin November 1, 1999.

         On October 12, 1999 Staff issued its report ("Staff Report") opposing
         Dominguez' merger with Cal Water. The Staff Report asserts that
         Dominguez' ratepayers will bear the risk of higher costs associated
         with the write up in rate base with no substantial benefits. However,
         the Staff Report did not take into consideration Cal Water's guarantee
         that Dominguez customers' rates will never increase as a result of the
         merger. Under the guarantee, if higher merger costs are not offset by
         lower operating costs, a permanent adjustment is recorded to reduce
         operating costs to eliminate any rate impact. The Company and Cal Water
         continue to believe that the merger is in the best interest of their
         ratepayers, and the proposed guarantee, if needed, serves to protect
         the ratepayers.

         Evidentiary hearings scheduled for November 1, 1999 have been continued
         and are expected to resume November 15, 1999. At that time, the Company
         and the CPUC Staff will have the opportunity to present their arguments
         before the CPUC Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). The ALJ is then
         scheduled to issue a proposed decision in December. The Commission will
         then consider the ALJ's proposed decision and issue its final decision,
         expected in January 2000.

         Merger expenses for the first nine months of 1999 recorded as
         "extraordinary item" totaled $224,165, or $134,499 net of tax effect.
         Expenses associated with the merger recorded as "extraordinary item"
         for the year ended 1998 totaled $814,000, or $499,000 net of tax
         effect.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, earnings per share were
         $0.44, compared to $0.34 in the same period in 1998. Revenues for the
         quarter ended September 30, 1999, were $8,274,112 and net income was
         $685,816, compared to revenues of $7,682,087 and net income of $511,600
         for the same period last year.

                                       11
<PAGE>

         Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 1999
         were $0.88 and $0.87 respectively, which compared with $0.77 for both
         basic and diluted earnings per share for the same period last year.
         Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, were $21,199,543
         and net income was $1,372,213, compared to revenues of $19,285,778 and
         net income of $1,161,199 for the same period last year.

         For the twelve months ended September 30, 1999, earnings per share were
         $.73, compared to $1.04 in the same period in 1998. Revenues for the
         twelve months ended September 30, 1999 were $27,180,900 and net income
         was $1,135,051, compared to revenues of $25,764,394 and net income of
         $1,563,569 for the same period last year.

         Water sales for the first nine months of the year increased by 11.9%
         from the same period last year. Revenues increased by 9.9%, or
         $1,914,000. The Redwood Valley Water Company joined Dominguez at the
         beginning of the year and recorded $506,000 in revenue for the first
         nine months of the year.

         Dominguez South Bay purchased 16,829 acre feet of water during the nine
         months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 16.4% from the 14,463
         acre feet purchased during the same period last year. Water costs for
         Dominguez South Bay increased 15.2% during the nine months ended
         September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period last year. Purchased
         water increased during the beginning part of the year as several wells
         were not producing at their full capacity. A new well will be placed in
         production in November, increasing Dominguez South Bay the capacity to
         pump all of its water rights.

         REGULATORY AFFAIRS

         The Company requested authorization from the CPUC to increase rates for
         its South Bay, Kern River Valley, and Antelope Valley service areas.
         The Company has reached a settlement with CPUC staff and expects final
         authorization by mid-December 1999. Rate increases will become
         effective in January 2000 and are expected to generate additional
         revenues of approximately $1,420,000 in 2000, $330,000 in 2001, and
         $110,000 in 2002.

         WATER QUALITY

         Dominguez is subject to water quality regulations promulgated by the
         United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California
         Department of Health Services (DHS). Both groundwater and purchased
         water are subject to extensive analysis. With occasional minor
         exceptions, the Company meets all current primary drinking water
         standards.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         Dominguez is subject to other applicable environmental regulations
         related to the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous materials.
         Dominguez is currently in compliance with all such regulations.

         WATER SUPPLY

         As of May 1, 1999, the water supply outlook is excellent. California
         State Water Project (SWP) reservoirs are at levels that allow the SWP
         to supply 100% of the contractor requests for 1999. The Metropolitan
         Water District has not yet indicated if a full complement of Colorado
         River Water is available. Dominguez expects an ample supply of imported
         water to be available for reminder of 1999.

         Dominguez expects recycled water to be available in its South Bay area
         by the end of 1999. Over the next several years, Dominguez anticipates
         converting industrial and irrigation users to recycled water. Margins
         on recycled water sales will be equal to those of replaced potable
         sales.

         SALE OF CSC

         On December 20, 1996, DSC Investments, the non-regulated subsidiary of
         the Company, invested $350,000 in Chemical Services Company (CSC) to
         acquire a 20% equity ownership interest with the option to acquire an
         additional 40% over the next five years. In April 1999, the Company
         notified CSC that the Company did not intend to exercise its option to
         acquire an additional equity ownership in CSC. Furthermore, the Company
         sold back to the principals of CSC the Company's 20% equity ownership
         in CSC, which resulted in a gain of $120,000.

         YEAR 2000 UPDATE

         READINESS: The Company established earlier this year a Year 2000 (Y2K)
         team to assess Y2K preparedness issues and ensure Y2K business system
         compliance. Additionally, the Company has developed and is in the
         process of implementing a long-range technology plan that includes
         computer system assessments and upgrades.

         Generally, all major information systems and technology are centralized
         at the Company's South Bay headquarters. Several years ago, the Company
         transitioned from a central mini computer with "dumb" terminals to
         personal computers and function-specific servers integrated via a local
         area network. To date, this transition has progressed to the current
         fully integrated system, which includes customer billing, accounting,
         human resources, well monitoring, and electronic mail throughout all
         the Company's locations.

                                       13
<PAGE>

         The Company's Information Systems department has inventoried its
         various software programs and obtained Y2K compliance letters from all
         of its software vendors.

         Lastly, the Company has identified and is in the process of contacting
         suppliers and vendors with whom it has a material business relationship
         in order to assess their Y2K preparedness, as well as obtain compliance
         letters from them. The purpose of these contacts is to determine that
         suppliers and vendors will not encounter Y2K problems that may disrupt
         the Company's business processes. To date, the Company is in the
         process of obtaining Y2K compliance assurances from its two major
         suppliers, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and
         Southern California Edison, and is working to resolve all other
         outstanding vendor-supplier issues. The Company has also surveyed all
         of its operating districts to assess specific needs within each
         district.

         COSTS: To date, Y2K preparedness costs have been immaterial.
         Additionally, neither information systems nor other technology projects
         have been deferred as a result of Y2K efforts.

         RISKS: OPERATIONS. The greatest risk posed by Y2K is the interruption
         of Dominguez' primary water supply source. This may occur as a result
         of wholesale suppliers (i.e. Metropolitan Water District) being unable
         to provide water to Dominguez or power sources being unavailable for
         Dominguez to operate its wells. Another risk Dominguez may encounter is
         that it may not be able to generate customer bills if the power sources
         are not available. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the
         potential financial impacts of the risk scenarios described, which
         could be material.

         LEGAL. The Company is evaluating the increased risk of litigation due
         to potential Y2K problems and its insurance policies to determine if
         additional actions and insurance coverage are warranted.

         CONTINGENCY PLANS: The Company has prepared contingency plans for all
         of its districts to ensure continued water service to customers in the
         event primary water sources are interrupted. In all districts Company
         maintains portable auxiliary power generators, which can supply power
         to operate wells for a limited time in the event that the primary power
         source is interrupted.

         The Company is also in the process of identifying high profile water
         customers such as hospitals and preparing contingency plans for
         continued water service for those customers in the event of a Y2K
         disruption.

         Staffing and emergency procedures have been addressed and plans have
         been put into place. The Company's formal contingency plan was filed
         with the CPUC on July 1, 1999.


                                       14

         STRATEGIC GROWTH PLAN

         At the beginning of the year, the Company completed the purchase of two
         previously announced northern California acquisitions, the Lucerne
         Water Company and the Armstrong and Rancho del Paradiso Water
         Companies. These acquisitions have been folded into the Company's
         newest operating subsidiary, Redwood Valley Water Company, which will
         provide the infrastructure needed for the Company's continued growth
         and expansion in northern California.

         In August, the Company completed the acquisition of Hawkins Water
         Service, a 52-customer system, which was integrated into Redwood Valley
         Water Company's operation. The Company has also received approval from
         the CPUC to acquire Coast Springs Water Company, with 237 customers,
         and expects to close the transaction in the fourth quarter.

         The Company has signed letters of intent to acquire Geyserville Water
         Works, a 292 customers system in northern California, and Mullen Water
         Company, with 43 customers in the Kern River Valley service area.

         DIVIDEND INCREASED

         The Board of Directors has declared the Company's 147th consecutive
         quarterly dividend at $0.24 per share on common stock to be paid on
         December 15, 1999, to shareholders of record as of December 1, 1999.
