BCVWD is proud to observe Groundwater Awareness Week, an annual dedication to the responsible development, management, and use of groundwater. With California’s shifts in extreme weather, it’s more important than ever to shore up our groundwater resources and build a dependable water supply.

“BCVWD is paving the way for groundwater management in the region. The District’s MDP Line 16 Conservation and Flood Protection Project replenishes the Beaumont groundwater basin through a state-of-the-art stormwater drain,” Director Hoffman said. “Our Noble Creek Recharge Facility ensures water stability through recharge that will meet the community’s needs for many years to come. Through these projects and more, we demonstrate our continued commitment to groundwater sustainability.”

Today is National Plant a Flower Day! 🌷 Spring is a wonderful time to plant flowers, as watering requirements are lower. To conserve up to hundreds of gallons of water yearly, use a layer of organic mulch around your flower garden. #BCVWD #PlantAFlowerDay #ConservationTips

This #ThrowbackThursday, we look back to the 1950s. Development boomed locally, and BCVWD (then the Beaumont Irrigation District) established three wells in the Beaumont basin and replaced its old concrete tanks with a new 1-million-gallon steel tank. #BCVWD #TBT

March is National Nutrition Month. While you’re developing healthy eating and fitness habits, consider water-wise habits too. Try cooking food in as little water as possible — you’ll conserve water and retain more nutrients! 🫑 #BCVWD #NationalNutritionMonth #ConservationTips

An extra day in the year means another day to save water! Take some time this leap day to consider new ways to conserve. Here are some easy ideas:

🥘 Select the proper size pans for cooking. Large pans require more cooking water than may be necessary.

🧱 Use porous materials for walkways and patios to keep water in your yard and prevent wasteful runoff.

As you plan your spring garden, remember to save water and money by choosing native, drought tolerant plants.

🌱Here’s another landscape tip: Avoid planting grass in areas that are hard to water and increase runoff, such as steep inclines and isolated strips along sidewalks or driveways.
