Item 8.01  Other Events.

Effective February 6, 2009, SJWTX, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
SJW Corp., acquired from the City of Bulverde, Texas (the "City")and
Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, a conservation and reclamation
district and political subdivision of the state of Texas("GBRA") the
right and obligation to provide water service within the retail water
service area of the City, and certain areas outside the City
("Bulverde Service Area"), and substantially all of the retail water
service assets of GBRA associated with GBRA's existing facilities
located within such service area.  The agreements by which GBRA had a
long term right to construct and operate a retail water system within
such service area were also terminated.  The purchase price for the
assets is approximately $2,800,000 to GBRA and approximately $900,000
to the City, comprised of both cash and the payoff of certain
existing liabilities of the City (which includes certain payments to
GBRA). As previously reported in a Form 8-K filed on September 11,
2008, SJWTX, Inc. entered into the agreements for such acquisition
with the City and GBRA on September 10, 2008.

The addition of the Bulverde Service Area increases the retail area
served by SJWTX, Inc. to approximately 235 square miles, an increase
of more than 54%.  There is not an appreciable increase in the number
of new water service connections as part of the acquisition.  Given
the Bulverde area's planned development and proximity to San Antonio,
expansion of SJWTX, Inc.'s retail business into this area should
improve its annual growth in new customers.
