Summer temperatures can rise quickly, making it important to stay hydrated and recognize the signs of heat-related illness. Whether you are working outdoors, spending time with family, or simply running errands, drinking plenty of water throughout the day is one of the best ways to help your body stay cool.

Heat-related illnesses can develop faster than many people realize, especially during periods of extreme heat. Planning outdoor activities during the cooler parts of the day, taking breaks in the shade, and staying hydrated can help reduce your risk.

At BCVWD, the safety of our employees is a top priority. Throughout the summer, we provide training, monitor changing weather conditions, and follow established procedures to help protect employees who work outdoors. We also encourage frequent hydration and take additional precautions during periods of excessive heat so our teams can continue serving the community safely.

As temperatures climb, remember to look out for yourself, your family, your neighbors, and even your pets. A little extra water can make a big difference.

Myth: Bottled water is safer and cleaner than tap water.

Fact: Your tap water is tested more frequently and held to stricter standards than bottled water.

Many people assume bottled water must be the healthier choice because it comes in a sealed bottle. In reality, drinking water providers, like Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District, are required to perform regular testing for a wide range of contaminants and comply with strict federal and state drinking water regulations, while bottled water is regulated under a different set of standards and generally is not subject to the same level of routine testing and continuous monitoring required of public water systems.

In addition to different regulations, bottled water often travels long distances before reaching store shelves and is stored in plastic containers that may be exposed to heat during transportation and storage.

Your tap water, on the other hand, is delivered directly to your home through a monitored distribution system and is monitored and tested throughout the year to ensure it continues to meet or exceed state and federal drinking water standards.

Other benefits of drinking tap water include helping reduce plastic waste, lessening the environmental impacts associated with manufacturing and transporting bottled water, and saving money. One unit of water (748 gallons) can fill nearly 6,000 16-ounce water bottles, all for less than $5.

At BCVWD, we’re proud to provide safe, reliable drinking water that our community can trust every day. To learn more about your water quality, read our annual Consumer Confidence Report at https://bcvwd.gov.

Every summer, BCVWD receives calls from customers who are surprised to see their water usage, and water bill, increase. In most cases, the increase isn’t due to a leak or billing error. It’s the result of changes in outdoor water use.

As temperatures rise, lawns, gardens, and landscaping often require additional irrigation. Even small adjustments to sprinkler timers can have a significant impact. Adding just a few minutes to each watering station can increase water use substantially over the course of a month.

Many households use two or even three times more water during the summer months than they do during the winter, primarily due to outdoor irrigation.

If you’re looking to manage your water bill this summer, consider:

• Checking your irrigation timer settings
• Watering in the morning, before the heat of the day
• Looking for broken sprinkler heads or leaks
• Consider adding ground cover, like mulch, around trees and gardens to help retain moisture

Understanding how your water use changes throughout the year can help you avoid surprises and make informed decisions about your water consumption.

When people think about growth in Beaumont and Cherry Valley, they often notice new homes, businesses, warehouses, and community facilities. What many don’t see is the extensive planning and engineering work happening behind the scenes to ensure our water system is prepared to serve that growth.

At the April 23, 2026 Board meeting, BCVWD’s Engineering Department provided an update highlighting the significant volume of development activity currently underway throughout the District’s service area. Engineering staff are actively coordinating dozens of projects at various stages of planning, review, design, and construction. These projects include residential neighborhoods, apartment communities, commercial developments, industrial facilities, churches, and other community-serving projects.

As our community continues to grow, Engineering staff are conducting water supply assessments, hydraulic modeling, fire flow analysis, plan reviews, annexations, construction coordination, and numerous other technical evaluations to ensure new development can be supported while maintaining reliable service for existing customers.

“Reliable water service requires more than pipes and pumps, it requires planning,” said BCVWD Board Member David Hoffman. “The Board appreciates the tremendous amount of work our Engineering and Operations teams perform behind the scenes to support growth, protect system reliability, and make thoughtful use of District resources. Their efforts help ensure new development is integrated responsibly while maintaining the level of service our customers expect.”

Whether reviewing a new residential community, evaluating infrastructure for industrial development, or coordinating construction activities, BCVWD staff play a critical role in preparing for the future while protecting the reliability of today’s water system. While Engineering staff lead much of the planning and technical review process, Operations staff also support development and infrastructure efforts, including completing certain work in-house when practical to help maximize value for ratepayers.
