Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
     On October 24, 2007, the Board of Directors of California Water Service Group (the “Company”) adopted an amendment to the Company’s Restated Bylaws (the “Amendment”) amending the provision of the Restated Bylaws relating to annual meetings of stockholders. The Amendment provides that annual meetings of stockholders will be held at such time on such date as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors, in accordance with applicable law. Prior to the adoption of the Amendment, the Restated Bylaws provided that annual meetings of stockholders were to be held during the month of April on such a date and time as designated by the Board. This description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the actual language of the Amendment, as reflected in the Amended and Restated Bylaws attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
     The Company will hold its 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 27, 2008. The date of this meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Thus, any stockholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices no later than January 6, 2008. 
     The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 1720 North First Street, San Jose, California 95112-4598, and any such proposals must be addressed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary.
