Help Ensure a Safe and Sustainable Water Supply
BCVWD is working to ensure a safe and sustainable water supply now and in the future by updating its Urban Water Management Plan. The document examines current and future water supplies and provides direction on how BCVWD will meet the anticipated needs of our customers over the next 20 years.
We value input from those we serve and invite the community to provide feedback on the draft plan at a public hearing on Thursday, July 22, at 6 p.m. Participants may attend the meeting in person at the BCVWD offices, 506 Magnolia Ave. in Beaumont, or virtually via Zoom.

California Drought Conditions
Did you know you can watch California drought conditions along with BCVWD? Visit droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?CA. BCVWD has a 35-million-gallon water storage capacity, just one of the many ways we are prepared for droughts and emergencies.
“Thanks to thoughtful planning and continuous monitoring, BCVWD is prepared to meet customers’ water demands even during multiple years of extreme dry weather,” said Director Andy Ramirez, on behalf of the Beaumont Cherry Valley Water District Board of Directors.
Ditch the Plastic
Ditch the plastic bottles and grab a glass of water instead! Single-use plastics often end up in streets or oceans, harming the environment. Keep our community clean and beautiful by buying less plastic and drinking safe, reliable tap water. #PlasticFreeJuly #BCVWD
“Taking advantage of your great-tasting tap water saves money and helps the environment,” said Treasurer David Hoffman, on behalf of the Board of Directors. “Its easy to reduce plastic use by filling a glass or re-usable water bottle.”
