Investing in Reliability: Well 1A Replacement Project Underway

At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District, we’re working around the clock to deliver safe, reliable water and that means replacing aging infrastructure through our ongoing Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

One of our major efforts is the Well 1A Project at our 12th Street and Palm Avenue Facility. Originally drilled in 1936, Well 1 is believed to be the oldest well in the Beaumont Basin and has reached the end of its service life. Well 1A is its modern replacement and is designed to strengthen our long-term supply system and meet growing community needs.

While the project has experienced delays due to staffing transitions, pandemic-related impacts, supply chain issues, and increased statewide drilling demand, drilling is now complete and we’ve entered the flushing and connection phase.

🛑 Here’s what you may notice in the area:

• Temporary traffic control on Palm Ave from 11th Street to 12th Street
• A temporary stop sign (per City request) to support safety during construction
• Special care to prevent water from impacting Stewart Park’s remodel during flushing
• Sound barriers were used during drilling to reduce noise in nearby residential areas and will be moved to the next drilling site soon

“Projects like Well 1A are a direct investment in our community’s future” stated Board Vice President Lona Williams. “Every upgrade strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality water, even during emergencies or peak demand. The Board remains committed to supporting critical infrastructure that protects public health and supports growth.”

We thank our customers for their patience as we move this important project forward and continue to improve service across the District.
