Looking for ways to conserve water in the kitchen? Here are some simple tips to help you be water-wise:

🍽️ When washing dishes by hand, fill one sink with wash water and a tub with rinse water.

💦 Run your dishwasher only when full.

🗑️ Compost and recycle organics instead of using the garbage disposal to save gallons every time.

🍇 Wash produce in a partially filled sink or pan instead of under running water from the tap.

Remember, small changes can make a big difference in conserving water. Let’s work together to protect this precious resource!

As we anticipate another possible rainy season, remember to clean your gutters! Clogged gutters can cause damage to your property by preventing water from flowing. Take the time to clear out any debris 🍂, such as leaves, branches and dirt, to ensure that your gutters can effectively direct water away from your home and back into nature – such as to our area’s surface water and groundwater!

BCVWD is taking every opportunity to recharge water while coming out of the worst drought on record. That’s why we partnered with San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency (SGPWA) to install an algaecide injection feeder at the Mountain View turnout to control algae in SGPWA’s ponds.

BCVWD staff supported efforts to set up the injection based on their prior experience using EarthTec algaecide at the Noble Creek Recharge Facility. The collaboration supports SGPWA in bringing the maximum amount of water possible into the area.

We were happy to share institutional knowledge with our partners and to ensure we bring as much water to the region as possible during this exceptional year of rain and snowfall.
