Heat and Safety

Summer’s Here—And So Are Higher Water Bills (If You’re Not Careful!)

With warmer days and longer evenings, it’s no surprise that water use tends to climb in the summer. At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District, we want to help you stay cool without letting your water bill heat up.

🌿 Outdoor watering, especially sprinklers and landscape irrigation, is the biggest source of increased summer usage. Even small changes like running sprinklers longer or watering more frequently can add up quickly.

🚿 Indoor habits can shift too! Longer showers, extra loads of laundry, and more frequent use of water to stay cool can all contribute to higher bills.

Here’s how you can keep usage in check:
✅ Water landscapes early in the morning or late evening to reduce evaporation
✅ Check for leaks and broken sprinkler heads
✅ Use a broom instead of a hose to clean patios and driveways
✅ Keep showers short and sweet
✅ Track your usage using your water bill or online tools

Every drop counts, especially during the summer. A few simple changes can make a big difference in your monthly bill and in protecting our shared water supply. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and be water-wise this season!
