About 170 people are Cal Domestic shareholders. Since Cal Domestic no longer maintains any retail water facilities, these shareholders are serviced through the City of La Habra and Suburban Water Systems. Those systems charge Cal Domestic for services to those shareholders, and the Company then bills the customers. To streamline water service and billing, Cal Domestic is offering to buy back shares from retail customers and move those accounts to the appropriate water provider.
