Investing in Efficiency and Safety: New Equipment Improves Operations

Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District is continuing to invest in tools and technology that enhance our efficiency, reliability, and safety in the field.

As part of our Capital Improvement Program, the District has authorized the purchase of two new pieces of equipment: a Power Vacuum and Valve Exerciser Trailer and a Power Vacuum Excavator Trailer. These trailer-mounted systems will replace the aging 2004 GIS/Muck Truck (Unit #8), which had reached the end of its service life.

The new trailers allow our Operations team to:
Safely perform valve maintenance to keep the water system functioning during emergencies and repairs.

Quickly remove soil and debris around pipes, reducing the need for hand digging and minimizing risk to staff and infrastructure.
Respond faster to leaks and service emergencies with specialized, towable equipment that’s easier to maintain and transport.

By purchasing two versatile trailers instead of a single truck replacement, BCVWD is not only improving flexibility but also reducing long-term costs and adapting to future fleet requirements, including California’s evolving vehicle standards.

“This investment strengthens our ability to respond efficiently to water system needs while improving safety for our crews and the community,” said John Covington, BCVWD Board of Directors. “It demonstrates our ongoing commitment to reliability, safety, and responsible resource management.”
