Today, we reflect on how far BCVWD has come. Pictured is a pipeline in Edgar Canyon circa 1908 — today, BCVWD builds projects like the MDP Line 16, a storm drain that protects the area from flooding and captures stormwater to replenish groundwater. 💪 #BCVWD #Conservation

Happy #EarthDay! Today is an important reminder to protect our precious resources, but BCVWD remains committed to conservation every day of the year.

We replenish groundwater supplies through the Noble Creek Recharge Facility and the MDP Line 16 project, and we educate our customers on how they can make conservation a way of life. Let’s continue to save water and preserve our planet. 🌎 #BCVWD #EarthDay #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.”

Today is National Take a Walk in the Park Day! Might we suggest a stroll through Bogart Park?

Be sure to check out the upcoming Fishing Derby from April 13 to 14! #BCVWD #BogartPark

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:

✅Choose a water-efficient drip irrigation system for trees, shrubs and flowers.

✅Watering at the roots is very effective but be careful not to overwater.

✅Remember to weed your lawn and garden regularly. Weeds compete with other plants for nutrients, light and water.

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
