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 Companys 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 Companys 2007

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for inclusion in the Companys 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.
