In an emergency, every drop counts. 💧

Here are ways to conserve water when supplies are limited:

• Prioritize drinking and cooking first.
• Use hand sanitizer or wipes to save stored water for hydration.
• Collect rainwater (if safe to do so) for sanitation needs.
• Reuse water for tasks when possible (ex: rinse water can be used to flush toilets).

Preparedness means knowing how to stretch your resources. Start the conversation today with your family and friends! Find more tips ➡️ Ready.gov

September is National Preparedness Month, and it’s the perfect time to start conversations with your loved ones about being ready for emergencies.

💧 At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District, we know that water is life, and it’s one of the most critical resources to plan for during disasters. Whether it’s an earthquake, wildfire, or extended power outage, having a supply of clean water is essential to keeping your family safe and healthy.

Here are a few water preparedness tips you can use today:

• Store at least 1 gallon of water per person, per day, for a minimum of 3 days (don’t forget pets!).
• Rotate your stored water every 6 months to keep it fresh.
• Keep a small supply of bottled water in each family vehicle.
• Learn how to safely shut off your household water in case of a broken line or contamination.
• Practice water conservation during emergencies by using stored water first for drinking and cooking, and only secondarily for hygiene.

“Water is the foundation of preparedness,” stated BCVWD Board Member John Covington. “In an emergency, clean water is not guaranteed—it’s something we must plan for. That means storing water, knowing how to conserve it, and thinking about the needs of every family member, including pets and those with medical devices. Talking about it today ensures we are all better prepared tomorrow.”

✅ Learn more tips at Ready.gov, including how to make a family plan, build a kit, and get connected with emergency alerts. 📲 Share these resources with your family, friends, and neighbors and join the conversation using #NPM2024 and #StartAConversation.

You’re not alone, many of us use nearly twice as much water during the summer months without even realizing it! ☀️ Here’s why:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 More People = More Water
• Kids are home from school
• Houseguests & family visits
• More showers to cool off (a 10-minute shower can use ~25 gallons!)
• More drinking water
• Extra flushes (1.28–1.6 gallons each!)

🎉 More Gatherings = Even More Use
• Pool parties = refills (60–120 gallons daily depending on size!)
• Sprinklers used for play
• Laundry loads piling up (12+ gallons/load)

💡 Summer fun can come with higher water use – being aware is the first step to staying water-wise!

Let’s keep the good times flowing without wasting water. 🌊

🚧 Capital Improvement Project Updates – Investing in Water Reliability 💧

At BCVWD, we’re committed to keeping you informed on the progress of our infrastructure projects that strengthen the reliability and efficiency of your water service.

🔹 Well 1A Replacement – This project is nearing its next milestone!
Crews are currently flushing the new well and expect to complete this process within the next few weeks. After that, we will move forward with designing the discharge head and configuring piping to connect to the Transmission System. Whether this well supplies potable or non-potable water will depend on testing results, which are ongoing.

“These projects are perfect examples of how the District is planning for both today and tomorrow,” stated Board Vice President Lona Williams. “The Well 1A Replacement will give us greater flexibility in how we manage water supplies, especially as we await results that will help us determine the safest and best use of that source. And with the B-Line Pipeline now online, we’re already seeing improvements in our system’s ability to meet demand and move water more efficiently.

🔹 B-Line Transmission Pipeline – Construction is complete!
The pipeline has been connected to the distribution system and was officially online as of July 23. This new line will improve flow, support growing demand, and enhance system performance across the region.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to deliver safe, dependable water, now and into the future.
