In 2024, BCVWD secured $2.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding through the County of Riverside to strengthen water system reliability and fire response capabilities in high-risk areas. This grant will fund two major pipeline projects, paired with our new District-funded 2-million-gallon water tank, to:

Increase water storage and transmission
Support firefighting and fire suppression
Replace aging infrastructure pushed to the limit during the 2020 Apple and El Dorado fires

“Partnerships like this are essential for maintaining a resilient water system,” said Board Member David Hoffman. “By leveraging grant funding alongside District investments, we’re reinforcing critical firefighting infrastructure and ensuring a stable supply for our community.”

“These new pipelines can last for 100 years,” added Board President Daniel Slawson. “We’re laying the foundation for reliable water service and stronger emergency response for decades to come.”

One project will install over 2,800 feet of new 24-inch pipeline in the 3040 pressure zone, connecting to the new Noble Storage Tank to double storage capacity in the area to 4 million gallons. The second project replaces 3,000 feet of deteriorating 10-inch pipeline with a new 12-inch line, improving water transmission between key pressure zones near Little San Gorgonio Creek and adding fire hydrants every 1,000 feet for enhanced emergency response.

These improvements directly address vulnerabilities exposed by past wildfires and strengthen BCVWD’s ability to serve the community in times of crisis. Construction is expected to wrap up by June 2025.

Happy Earth Day from BCVWD!

“Water is one of our planet’s most precious resources” stated BCVWD Board Director Andy Ramirez. “We are committed to protecting our water system and aquifer for generations to come”.

We know how essential water is to everyday life. That’s why we work hard behind the scenes to deliver safe, reliable water to over 22,000 customers — while being as cost-effective and efficient as possible. Whether it’s maintaining infrastructure, repairing leaks, or supporting conservation efforts, every drop matters.

This Earth Day, we invite you to celebrate with us by valuing water, using it wisely, and supporting a sustainable future.

We understand that any rate change can be difficult — especially during times when many families are feeling the impact of rising costs. At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District (BCVWD), we want to be transparent about why changes are being proposed and how your rates work.

By law, BCVWD is a cost recovery agency — meaning we are prohibited from charging more than it costs to provide water service. We are not legally allowed to make a profit. Your water rates go directly toward:
Daily operations and water treatment
Pipeline repairs and replacements
Infrastructure upgrades and system maintenance
Ensuring safe, clean, and reliable water for thousands of homes and businesses

An independent cost of service study was conducted by a third-party expert, who reviewed all of BCVWD’s financials, infrastructure needs, and future planning. Their analysis recommended the proposed rate adjustments to help us keep pace with rising costs — the same types of increases we’re all seeing in gas, electricity, insurance, and other necessities.

“We don’t take rate changes lightly,” said Board Vice President Lona Williams. “But providing water 24/7 takes more than turning on a faucet — it takes infrastructure, trained staff, and resources. These rates are an investment in the safety and reliability of your water now and into the future.”

Join us for our upcoming public hearing to discuss BCVWD’s proposed water rate changes.

Water is essential — and we’re committed to keeping it affordable.

At BCVWD, we understand how important water is to every household. While a rate adjustment has been proposed, we want to assure you that your water is still a great value.

Did you know 1 billed unit = 748 gallons of water?

That’s less than $3 per unit under current rates — or less than half a cent per gallon!

We work hard to keep rates as low as possible while continuing to deliver safe, reliable water and maintaining the infrastructure that brings it to your tap.
