Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District’s water supply is local, carefully managed, and decades in the making.
Our primary water source is groundwater from the Beaumont Basin, a shared underground storage area that serves multiple local agencies. This basin is managed under a court-approved adjudication to ensure long-term sustainability and responsible use. To safely manage the Beaumont Basin and comply with the adjudication, BCVWD partners regionally with the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency to purchase imported water to recharge all water that is extracted, through our recharge ponds consisting of 78.8 acres of land on Beaumont Ave between Cherry Valley Blvd and Brookside Ave.
In addition to basin wells, BCVWD operates wells in Edgar Canyon, a historic water source for our community since the early 1900s. These canyon wells continue to supply a portion of our water today.
To protect these sources, the District has invested in:
- Groundwater recharge facilities that capture stormwater and imported supplies
- Monitoring wells and basin management programs
- Modern telemetry systems that optimize pumping efficiency
- Infrastructure improvements that deliver water safely to your home
“Maintaining a reliable water supply requires both local stewardship and regional partnership,” said BCVWD Board President Lona Williams. “Our responsibility is to manage today’s resources wisely while planning ahead to ensure water reliability for future generations.”
From historic canyon diversions to modern recharge projects, BCVWD’s water system has evolved for more than a century, all with one goal: delivering safe, dependable water to our community.
