“As we head into summer, outdoor water management will become more important,” said Director Andy Ramirez, on behalf of the Board of Directors. “Planting drought tolerant plants in your garden, repairing, and adjusting irrigation can help homeowners conserve water while reducing ongoing cost.”
Last week was Public Service Recognition Week! From fixing our streets and protecting our communities to providing safe, reliable water and delivering the mail, thank you to all public service employees – many of whom are on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Public employees are essential to thriving communities, and their commitment to service is evident now more than ever,” said President John Covington. “The BCVWD Board of Directors thanks all those who work to serve our community, including our own District employees.”
Many nonessential buildings have remained empty during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as businesses and the community follow California’s stay-at-home order. The water in the pipes of these buildings could become stagnant during this time. Non-moving water can sometimes cause aesthetic (taste and odor) issues due to the internal plumbing.
Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District recommends commercial customers with empty buildings freshen their water by flushing it through a sink or other water supply for at least five minutes prior to use.

“Our staff is on hand to answer questions, respond to emergencies and continue to provide outstanding service,” said Vice President David Hoffman, on behalf of the Board of Directors.
Conserve water by taking the time to check for any wet, soggy grass or puddles that keep forming in the same areas outside. This means that you might have an outdoor leak or are overwatering your lawn. Visit bcvwd.org for more #ConservationTips. “When people check for leaks, they often think of the indoors, such as pipes, toilets and sinks,” said Secretary Lona Williams, on behalf of the Board of Directors.
“Outdoor leaks from hoses and sprinklers can be easily overlooked, but, if found and fixed, can save a significant amount of water and money.”

“Our staff works tirelessly to maintain the many pieces of the system that bring water to your home,” said Treasurer Daniel Slawson, on behalf of the Board of Directors. “It’s part of what allows you to have water at your tap every time you need it.”
