Focus on Conservation
BCVWD is committed to making conservation a way of life.
“Every small water-saving action adds up,” President Covington said. “While turning the water off while you brush your teeth may seem like a drop in the bucket, that soon becomes a full bucket that makes a meaningful difference in our water supply.”

First Day of Spring
Happy first day of spring! 🌱 Thinking of planting any flowers, fruits or vegetables? Here are a few tips for growing a water-wise garden this season:
âś…Choose a water-efficient drip irrigation system for trees, shrubs and flowers.
âś…Watering at the roots is very effective but be careful not to overwater.
âś…Remember to weed your lawn and garden regularly. Weeds compete with other plants for nutrients, light and water.

Groundwater Awareness Week
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.”
