                            DIRECTORS RETIREMENT PLAN
                        (as amended on February 22, 2006)

This document summarizes the California Water Service Group ("Group") Retirement
Plan  ("Plan")  for  members of the Board of  Directors.  The Plan is  effective
January  1, 1998.  It  replaces  the former  California  Water  Service  Company
Directors Retirement Plan (the "Former Plan"). The Plan is intended to recognize
a director's service commitment to the Group by providing retirement income.

1. The Group  has  established  a  mandatory  retirement  age for  directors.  A
director  must retire no later than the Annual  Meeting that follows the date of
the director's 75th birthday. An employee director must retire as an employee or
a  director  no later  that the  Annual  Meeting  that  follows  the date of the
director's 70th birthday.

2. Any current  non-employee  director  who retires  subsequent  to February 22,
2006,  after serving on the Board for a total of five or more years will receive
a retirement  benefit  equivalent to $22,000 per year. This benefit will be paid
for the  number  of years the  director  served  on the  Board,  up to 10 years.
Retirement  benefit  payments  will be made monthly at the same time as retainer
payments are made to active directors. In December 2005, the Director Retirement
Plan was cancelled for future Directors.

3. The Board reserves the right to adopt resolutions which alter, amend, modify,
or terminate the Plan at any time.  However,  future resolutions may not, in any
way, reduce the benefits to which a director shall have become entitled prior to
adoption of the resolution.

4. In the event of a Director's  death prior to retirement who has served on the
Board for a period of at least five years, the Director's designated beneficiary
will receive  annual  benefits to which the director was  entitled.  The benefit
will be determined under terms of the Plan as if the Director had retired on the
date of his or her death.  Benefit  payments will be made to the  beneficiary in
accordance  with the  provisions  of Paragraph 2. Benefits will be payable for a
period equal to the number of years the Director served on the Board,  including
service on the Board of  California  Water  Service  Company prior to January 1,
1998, up to a maximum of 10 years. Payment of the survivor benefit will commence
the month following the Director's death.

5. In the event of a Director's death following  retirement,  the balance of his
or her  retirement  benefit,  if any,  will be  paid to the  retired  Director's
designated  beneficiary,  or in  accordance  with his or her will or the laws of
descent and distribution.

<PAGE>

6. A Director may, from time to time, revoke his or her beneficiary  designation
and file a new beneficiary designation with the Board.

7. Benefits  earned under the former Plan and for which payment had commenced as
of the adoption date of this Plan will  continue to be paid in  accordance  with
provisions of the former plan.

8. This Plan is a  nonqualified,  nonfunded  plan. In the event of bankruptcy of
the Group, the participants will be general creditors of the Group.Exhibit 10.34

of  Common  Stock  subject  to your SAR and the  Grant  Value  per  share may be
adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments.

     3. WHOLE SHARES.  You may exercise your SAR only for whole shares of Common
Stock.

     4.  SECURITIES  LAW  COMPLIANCE.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary
contained  herein,  you may not  exercise  your SAR  unless the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered  under the Securities Act.
The  exercise  of your SAR also  must  comply  with  other  applicable  laws and
regulations governing your SAR, and you may not exercise your SAR if the Company
determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws
and regulations.

     together  with the exercise  price to the  Secretary of the Company,  or to
     such other person as the Company may  designate,  during  regular  business
     hours,  together  with such  additional  documents  as the Company may then
     require.

          (b) By  exercising  your SAR you agree  that,  as a  condition  to any
     exercise  of your  SAR,  the  Company  may  require  you to  enter  into an
     arrangement  providing  for the  payment  by you to the  Company of any tax
     withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of (1) the exercise
     of your SAR, (2) the lapse of any  substantial  risk of forfeiture to which
     the shares of Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise,  or (3) the
     disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise.

     7. VALUE OF SAR. Upon exercise of your SAR, you will be entitled to receive
from the  Company an amount  equal to the  Appreciation  in the shares of Common
Stock covered by the SAR that are  exercised.  For this purpose,  "Appreciation"
means the  excess of (i) the  aggregate  Fair  Market  Value (on the date of the
exercise of the Stock Appreciation  Right) of the shares of Common Stock covered
by the SAR that are  exercised,  over (ii) the  aggregate  Grant  Value for such
shares.

     8. PAYMENT.  The Company  shall satisfy its  obligation to pay amounts owed
upon  exercise of this SAR in shares of Common  Stock.  Payment of such  amounts
will commence as soon as administratively practicable after the date of exercise

the laws of descent and  distribution,  and (ii) with the prior written approval
of the Company, by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust, in a form
accepted by the Company,  in which the SAR is to be passed to beneficiaries upon
the death of the trustor (settlor).

     10. SAR NOT A SERVICE  CONTRACT.  Your SAR is not an  employment or service
contract, and nothing in your SAR will be deemed to create in any way whatsoever
any  obligation  on your part to  continue  in the  employ of the  Company or an
Affiliate,  or of the Company or an Affiliate to continue  your  employment.  In
addition,  nothing in your SAR will obligate the Company or an Affiliate,  their
respective stockholders,  Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees to continue
any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company
or an Affiliate.

     11. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

          (c) At the time your SAR is exercised,  in whole or in part, or at any
     time  thereafter  as  requested  by  the  Company,   you  hereby  authorize
     withholding  from  payroll  and any  other  amounts  payable  to  you,  and
     otherwise  agree to make  adequate  provision as instructed by the Company,
     for any sums required to satisfy the federal,  state, local and foreign tax
     withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise
     in connection with the exercise of your SAR.

<PAGE>

          (d) The Company may, in its sole  discretion,  and in compliance  with
     any applicable legal conditions or restrictions,  withhold from the amounts
     otherwise  payable  to you upon the  exercise  of your  SAR an  amount  not
     exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law.

     12. NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your SAR or the Plan will be given
in writing and will be deemed  effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of
notices  delivered by mail by the Company to you, five days after deposit in the
United States mail,  postage  prepaid,  addressed to you at the last address you
provided to the Company.

     13.  GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT.  Your SAR is subject to all the provisions of
the Plan,  the  provisions  of which are hereby made a part of your SAR,  and is
further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations, which
may from time to time be  promulgated  and adopted  pursuant to the Plan. In the
event of any conflict  between the provisions of your SAR and those of the Plan,
the provisions of the Plan will control.
