The Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District continues to make steady progress on several key Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects designed to maintain reliable service, improve infrastructure, and plan for the District’s future water needs.

Well 1A

Drilling and flushing for Well 1A are complete, with final inspections and equipment installation underway. The well is expected to begin service on the non-potable system by summer 2026, with the potential for future conversion to potable use depending on water quality results.

Well 2A

Well 2A is actively under construction, with drilling, casing installation, and development progressing based on completed zone testing. Some temporary traffic control may return along Palm Avenue during this phase, with construction expected to wrap up in early February.

Noble Tank 2

The Noble Tank 2 project is being reevaluated to ensure cost-effective delivery and is expected to be rebid later this year. District staff are exploring options to reduce costs by separating certain work elements or completing portions in-house.

Pipeline Projects

Several pipeline replacement projects are in final design, including segments along 11th Street and American Avenue. Following a recent emergency repair, the A Line pipeline in Cherry Valley has been elevated as a priority, with design work expected to begin in 2026.

“Capital projects like these are about planning ahead and investing responsibly,” said BCVWD Board President Lona Williams. “Each of these improvements plays a role in strengthening our system, protecting water quality, and ensuring reliable service for our customers both today and in the years to come.”

Through its CIP, the Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District remains focused on proactive infrastructure planning, careful use of resources, and long-term reliability for the community it serves.

The Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District is committed to providing safe, reliable, and high-quality drinking water to our customers. Protecting water quality is one of our highest priorities, and it guides our daily operations, long-term planning, and investments in infrastructure.

Our water is tested every day to ensure it meets or exceeds all federal and state drinking water regulations. This proactive approach allows the District to closely monitor water quality, respond quickly to changes, and maintain the high standards our community expects.

In addition to routine monitoring, the District is actively evaluating and implementing ways to reduce naturally occurring Chromium-6 in areas of new wells. These efforts are part of a forward-thinking strategy to protect water quality and minimize potential challenges before they affect customers.

This work is made possible by the dedication and expertise of District staff, who conduct testing, analyze results, comply with evolving regulations, and ensure the water delivered to customers is safe and dependable.

“Providing high-quality drinking water is a responsibility we take seriously,” said BCVWD Board Member David Hoffman. “Our team works every day to test our water, meet all state and federal requirements, and plan ahead so our customers can have confidence in the water they receive.”

The Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District remains committed to transparency, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement as we work to protect public health and provide quality water today and for generations to come.

Seasonal changes bring cooler temperatures and more rain, making winter a good time to adjust water use and prepare for changing conditions. While our area typically experiences mild winters, rain in the valley and snow in nearby mountain areas can still impact water use and infrastructure throughout the region. On rare occasions, colder temperatures may also bring frost or light snowfall locally.

Seasonal weather changes, including rain and mountain snow, can affect both water supplies and customer plumbing systems. While winter storms often benefit regional water resources, colder and wetter conditions may increase the risk of overwatering, debris buildup, or frozen pipes. Staying aware of weather conditions and taking simple preventative steps can help protect your water service and promote efficient water use during the winter months.

As we move through the season, customers are encouraged to keep the following reminders in mind:

• Reduce sprinkler and irrigation time during wet weather to avoid overwatering
• Keep meter boxes clear of debris, such as leaves, mulch, and trash
• Protect exposed pipes during cold nights to help prevent freezing
• Avoid watering during freezing temperatures, which can harden the ground and increase the risk of frozen pipes

Taking a few proactive steps during the winter season can help prevent service issues, conserve water, and keep systems operating smoothly. Stay up to date by visiting our website at https://bcvwd.gov

The Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District (BCVWD) is committed to transparency and helping the community understand how water rates are structured. As part of the District’s multi-year rate review, the second approved rate adjustment went into effect on January 1, 2026.

Most customers are billed on a bi-monthly basis, meaning each bill reflects two months of water service.

Water bills are calculated using a rate structure that includes:

• A fixed bi-monthly service charge, based on meter size, which helps cover costs that do not vary with water use, such as system maintenance and capital improvements
• A volumetric charge, based on the amount of water used during the billing period
• Pass-through charges that reflect the cost of imported water and the energy required to deliver water

Additional information about the approved rate adjustments, including the Notice of Public Hearing, is available on the District’s website at https://bcvwd.gov/water-rate-study/.

While rates are established through a formal process, using water efficiently can help manage overall household water use. Addressing leaks, adjusting irrigation schedules, and using water-wise fixtures are simple steps that can help control consumption.

When customers contact us and need assistance, BCVWD may refer them to Smiles for Seniors, a trusted local nonprofit that provides emergency utility assistance to eligible low-income seniors, as the District is not legally allowed to offer discounted rates.

Smiles for Seniors is one of the only organizations in the Inland Empire that offers financial assistance for water bills, helping seniors maintain essential water service during times of hardship.

If you are a senior and need help paying your water bill, contact Smiles for Seniors directly to learn more about eligibility and available assistance: https://smiles4seniors.org

Water Bottle Myths: Understanding Drinking Water Quality

There are many common assumptions about bottled water and tap water. One of the biggest myths is that bottled water is always safer or more closely regulated.

Myth: Bottled water is tested more frequently than tap water

Fact: Public drinking water systems like BCVWD are required to meet strict state and federal standards and conduct routine testing throughout the year. Results are reviewed by regulatory agencies and summarized annually in a Consumer Confidence Report, which is publicly available.

Myth: Tap water quality isn’t closely monitored

Fact: Drinking water provided by BCVWD is tested by certified staff and analyzed by independent, state-certified laboratories. Testing occurs at the source, throughout the distribution system, and at storage facilities.

Myth: Bottled water is always more transparent

Fact: Public water systems are required to share water quality information with customers, including detected constituents and compliance with health-based standards. This level of transparency is not always required for bottled water.

BCVWD is committed to providing safe, reliable drinking water and to being transparent about how water quality is monitored and regulated. Understanding where your water comes from, and how it’s tested, helps build confidence and informed choices.
