Division 5

Planning an outdoor project this spring? Call before you dig! Avoid underground hazards and damage to cables and pipes and by calling 811 at least 72 hours in advance of digging. Utility companies will come mark the location of their lines free of charge. Learn more at usanorth811.org. #NationalSafeDiggingMonth #CallBeforeYouDig #BCVWD

“Hitting an undergound utility line can cause extensive damage and put you, your family and your neighbors at risk. Calling before you dig is an easy step to take to keep yourself and your community safe,” said Treasurer David Hoffman, on behalf of the Board of Directors.

BCVWD is ready to help in various emergencies, even if they do not directly impact water service. Last fall, during the 1,000-acre Sandalwood fire in Calimesa, BCVWD ensured the recharge ponds were as full as possible so that firefighting helicopters had access to the water if needed. #NationalSafetyMonth “Our ponds are not usually kept full at that time of year,” said Vice President David Hoffman, on behalf of the Board of Directors. “Our staff worked around the clock to ensure the largest water supply possible was immediately available to help fight the fire.”

Our offices may be closed, but our operations remain open. As an essential service, our field staff are still working to ensure safe, reliable water is delivered to your home. And, our customer service team is still available to assist you. Visit bcvwd.org for information on how to access services during this time.

“Our staff is on hand to answer questions, respond to emergencies and continue to provide outstanding service,” said Vice President David Hoffman, on behalf of the Board of Directors.
