Item 8.01              Other Events

With respect to the Company's lawsuit against the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California ("Metropolitan"), on  September 3, 2008, Judge Jane L. Johnson met with counsel for both parties in chambers and scheduled a hearing for September 23, 2008 in order to rule upon  Metropolitan's primary remaining defense in the lawsuit - the claim that  Metropolitan has immunity under the California Government Code for any  breach of its duties.  In the event that Judge Johnson rejects Metropolitan's contention that the case should be dismissed on Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on the basis of immunity, the case will be set for trial immediately thereafter.
