National Preparedness – Conservation

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

National Preparedness

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.

Why Is My Water Bill Higher in the Summer?

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. 🌊

Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District Receives Statewide Excellence in Technology Award – 2025

Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District Receives Statewide Excellence in Technology Award

Beaumont, CA — The Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District (BCVWD) has been honored with the 2025 Excellence in Technology Award by the California Special Districts Association (CSDA), recognizing the District’s leadership in innovation, cybersecurity, and community stewardship.

Awarded at the CSDA Annual Conference

The award was presented during the CSDA Annual Conference in Monterey, where BCVWD Board Vice President Lona Williams accepted the recognition on behalf of the District. Williams described the experience as “both humbling and an honor,” adding, “With just under 50 employees, standing among hundreds of other agencies made me incredibly proud of our staff’s dedication.”

Innovation, Security, and Stewardship

The CSDA award highlights BCVWD’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its technology infrastructure and safeguard customer data. Vice President Williams emphasized the community impact: “This award shows our community that every investment in technology is about stewardship. It protects customer information, safeguards our water supply, and reinforces that security and safety are priorities in every decision we make.”

United in Service

Williams also reflected on the sense of connection among fellow districts: “What struck me most was the warm support from so many other districts—water, fire, parks, and beyond. It reminded me that, despite our different challenges, we are united in our mission of serving our communities.”

For BCVWD, the award reflects more than progress in IT—it represents growth across all departments. “Our staff is learning, improving, and taking pride in their work every day— and this award is proof of that commitment,” Williams said.

About the CSDA Excellence in Technology Award

CSDA’s Excellence in Technology Award is given to only one special district each year, highlighting outstanding innovation in technology, improved efficiency, enhanced customer service, and strengthened cybersecurity practices. Learn more at CSDA.net.
