Summer’s Here—And So Are Higher Water Bills (If You’re Not Careful!)

With warmer days and longer evenings, it’s no surprise that water use tends to climb in the summer. At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District, we want to help you stay cool without letting your water bill heat up.

🌿 Outdoor watering, especially sprinklers and landscape irrigation, is the biggest source of increased summer usage. Even small changes like running sprinklers longer or watering more frequently can add up quickly.

🚿 Indoor habits can shift too! Longer showers, extra loads of laundry, and more frequent use of water to stay cool can all contribute to higher bills.

Here’s how you can keep usage in check:
✅ Water landscapes early in the morning or late evening to reduce evaporation
✅ Check for leaks and broken sprinkler heads
✅ Use a broom instead of a hose to clean patios and driveways
✅ Keep showers short and sweet
✅ Track your usage using your water bill or online tools

Every drop counts, especially during the summer. A few simple changes can make a big difference in your monthly bill and in protecting our shared water supply. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and be water-wise this season!

This year’s report confirms that BCVWD’s water met or exceeded all state and federal drinking water standards during the most recent sampling period. Through hundreds of tests conducted throughout the year, we’ve continued to uphold the highest standards of water safety, stewardship, and service.

“Our community deserves to know exactly what’s in their water and how it’s managed,” said Board President Daniel Slawson. “We take this responsibility seriously, and this report demonstrates the integrity and transparency of our water quality practices.”

Some highlights from this year’s report include:
✅ Successful recharge efforts in partnership with the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency

At BCVWD, we’re doing more than keeping the water flowing today — we’re preparing for tomorrow. Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) are long-term investments in the pipelines, wells, tanks, and pump stations that deliver water to your home and business.

Instead of waiting for things to break, we plan ahead — replacing aging infrastructure, increasing capacity for future growth, and improving reliability system-wide.

With a growing community and over 22,000 customers to serve, these projects help us stay ahead of the curve and ensure clean, safe water for generations to come.

“These projects are about responsibility — making sure our system is resilient, efficient, and ready for whatever the future bring” stated BCVWD Board Director David Hoffman. “Our goal is to protect the investment our community has made in this essential service.”

We’ll be sharing updates soon on some of the exciting infrastructure work underway. In the meantime, you can always learn more at 👉 https://bcvwd.gov

Ever wondered how your water bill is calculated? Let’s walk you through it.

At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District (BCVWD), we’re committed to delivering water that’s not only safe and reliable — but also billed fairly and transparently. That’s why we recently presented a detailed overview to our Board of Directors, breaking down how the billing process works and how we’re addressing customer concerns.

Here’s what you should know:

🔹 We use two types of meters:

• AMI meters automatically send readings to our office around the 1st of the month — no need for a visit.
• AMR meters are still in use in some areas and require a drive-by or manual read by our field team.

🔹 What happens if a meter can’t be read?
If the meter is behind a locked gate or otherwise unreadable, we estimate usage based on your historical consumption — and always document how and why.

🔹 We bill most customers every two months, capturing about 60 days of water use. This helps ensure fairness and consistency for all customers, even as we continue upgrading meters across the District.

🔹 Billing accuracy is a top priority.
We carefully review meter reads before generating bills, looking for leaks, stuck meters, or anything unusual. If something seems off, our team investigates and follows up.

🔹 One customer’s question led to stronger communication.
When a resident reached out about the timing of their meter read, we used it as an opportunity to explain our process and share our plans for even more transparency going forward — including more digital tools for customer access.

“When customers reach out with questions, it’s an opportunity to do better” stated BCVWD Board Vice President, Lona Williams.  “We want everyone to understand how their bill is calculated and know we’re committed to fairness and accuracy in every step of the process.”
