On September 13, 2018, Cal Water sold $300.0 million of floating rate First Mortgage Bonds due in September of 2020 in a private placement. The floating interest rate was set at three-month LIBOR plus 70 basis points, will accrue quarterly, and be payable in arrears. The bonds are redeemable at a premium of 102%, or at par after June 13, 2019. The bonds will also rank equally with all of Cal Water's other First Mortgage Bonds and will be secured by liens on Cal Water's properties, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.
In 2018, Cal Water repaid $10.9 million of First Mortgage Bonds JJJ and LLL, which matured in 2018. In 2017, Cal Water repaid $20.0 million of First Mortgage Bond FFF, which matured in 2017.
On October 4, 2011, Cal Water entered into a capital lease arrangement with the City of Hawthorne to operate the City's water system for a 15-year period. The $5.8 million and $6.4 million capital lease liability as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 is included in other long-term debt and current maturities set forth above.
