Over 100 Years of Serving Our Community 💧

Since 1919, Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District has proudly served the people of Beaumont, Cherry Valley, and surrounding areas with high-quality, dependable water service.

What began as a small local water company has grown into a District serving more than 22,000 customers, with a system that includes over 276 miles of pipelines and 19 active wells. From agriculture to homes, schools, and businesses — we’ve been here through it all.

Through droughts, wildfires, and growth, our commitment has remained the same: to provide safe, reliable, and affordable water to our community.

We’re proud of our legacy — and even more excited about the future.

Local Service. Community Commitment. Public Trust.

This week, Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District joins agencies across California in celebrating Special Districts Week — a time to recognize the vital role that independent special districts play in our communities.

Unlike cities or counties, special districts are formed by residents, funded by residents, and governed by representatives of the community. At BCVWD, we are proud to provide safe, reliable water service to over 22,000 customers — and to do so without any tax dollars from the state, county, or cities. Every drop is funded directly by the people we serve.

Since our formation in 1919, BCVWD has delivered one of life’s most essential resources — clean water — with local control, financial transparency, and a commitment to long-term sustainability.

Whether we’re investing in new infrastructure, protecting groundwater supplies, or supporting conservation, we do it with one goal in mind: serving our community.

“Being a special district means our only priority is the people we serve. We’re funded by our customers, focused on water, and guided by what’s best for our community — not outside politics,” said David Hoffman, BCVWD Board Member. “We’re proud to be a local, responsive, and reliable provider of this essential service.”

📣 Special Districts Week, established by the California State Legislature through ACR 36, is sponsored by the California Special Districts Association (CSDA) to increase awareness and appreciation of the services special districts provide across the state.

Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) are how BCVWD plans, builds, and maintains a reliable water system — not just for today, but for the future. These investments help us do more than patch leaks or replace parts — they allow us to proactively upgrade infrastructure, saving money long term and improving service for our 22,000+ customers.

From replacing aging pipelines to expanding facilities and drilling new wells, CIPs are essential to meeting the needs of our growing community.

📢 Stay tuned — we’ll be sharing highlights of key projects happening this year and how they’re making a difference!

Public Service Recognition Week is a time to honor the dedicated individuals who keep our communities running. At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District, we’re proud to be part of that commitment — delivering safe, reliable water every day to the residents and businesses we serve.

Water is one of our most essential resources, and ensuring it reaches your tap takes planning, expertise, and teamwork. Our staff — from engineers and technicians to customer service and administrative professionals — take pride in the work they do to serve the public good.

“Providing sustainable and reliable water is more than a service — it’s a morale responsibility and commitment to our community, our environment, and future generations,” said John Covington, BCVWD Board Member. “Our entire team works behind the scenes every day to ensure that this vital resource is protected, treated, and delivered to thousands of homes and businesses with care and professionalism.”

As temperatures rise, so does water use — especially outdoors! 🌿

Many customers double their water use in the summer compared to winter, mostly due to lawn and landscape watering. It makes sense: when it’s raining, most people don’t run their sprinklers. But as sunny days return, so does the outdoor watering — and with it, higher water bills.

Even though this seasonal spike happens every year, it’s easy to forget. So here’s your friendly reminder from Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District:

✅ Check your irrigation system for leaks or overwatering
✅ Adjust watering times to early morning or evening
✅ Consider cutting back — your landscape may not need as much as you think!

Conserving water in the warmer months helps protect our resources and keeps your bill manageable. Let’s work together to make every drop count this season! 💙

At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District, we believe that every drop of water tells a story — of planning, of protection, and of the people who make safe, reliable water possible every day.

As California enters its dry season, Water Awareness Month is a timely reminder of the value of water and how we can all make a difference. From the infrastructure that delivers clean water to your tap, to the conservation choices we make at home, protecting this essential resource takes all of us working together.

“Most people don’t think about water until it’s not there, but at BCVWD, we think about it every day,“ said Daniel Slawson, Board President. “We think about how to protect it, how to deliver it, and how to ensure we have water for generations to come.”

Throughout the year, BCVWD continues to invest in critical infrastructure projects and supports our community in making water-wise choices. Whether it’s preparing for climate extremes or helping customers reduce water use, we’re working every day to protect our region’s most precious resource.

Let’s make every drop count — this month and beyond. 💧

At BCVWD, we know that every drop counts — and that reliable, clean water is something our customers depend on every single day.

To continue delivering on that promise, the Board of Directors recently approved new water rates that will fund critical infrastructure upgrades. We understand that any rate increase can be difficult, and we want to be transparent about why these changes are necessary.

Much of our water system — including pipelines, valves, and facilities — has been in service for decades. Some projects have been on hold for years due to funding limitations. With these new rates, we can finally move forward with overdue improvements that will:

✔️ Reduce service interruptions
✔️ Improve operational efficiency
✔️ Support wildfire response
✔️ Protect public health
✔️ Ensure long-term water reliability for future generations

“Our network of wells, pipes, and treatment facilities works around the clock to deliver safe water to your home,” said Board Member John Covington. “Strong infrastructure is the foundation of a reliable water supply — and this investment ensures we’re prepared not just for today, but for the future.”

We appreciate our community’s support and understanding as we take this important step toward building a more resilient water system. 🔗 Learn more at bcvwd.gov
