As a way to combat California’s frequent droughts, the State Water Board adopted the Making Conservation a California Way of Life regulation, which went into effect January 1st.

These new regulations will require water suppliers like BCVWD to ensure residential and commercial water use is within predetermined parameters based on location, population, and climate.

“We understand the importance of balancing conservation efforts with the needs of our community,: Lona Williams, Board Vice President stated. “This regulation gives us an opportunity to fine-tune our practices to ensure long-term sustainability while respecting the unique characteristics of our region.”

We’re currently evaluating our collective water usage and want to ensure any changes made are thoughtful and tailored towards the community. We anticipate any specific changes in response to this regulation will not be fully operational until 2026 or 2027.

If you do not wish to use the new service, no action is required on your part – your statements will be mailed to the billing address on file and due on the date provided on the statement.

The district is excited to provide a new payment platform that will give customers additional payment options, accept more payment types, provide the ability to sign up for reminders, and all these features will be available at a lower processing cost.

Did You Know?

The average water footprint per person in the United States is 1,802 gallons per day!

This includes direct water used for washing dishes and irrigating your lawn, but also indirect water used to grow the food you eat, clothes you wear, and more.

While this is certainly a lot of water, there are many things you can do to reduce your water footprint each day, such as:

⚡️ Using less energy at home

👕 Buying secondhand clothes

♻️ Recycling cans, plastic, glass, and more

🚰 Turning off the faucet when brushing your teeth or shaving

💧 Wash only full loads of clothes and dishes

As the days grow colder, it’s the perfect time to reduce outdoor watering and save water! Most plants go dormant during the winter and need little to no irrigation.

“Making small adjustments during the winter months, like reducing outdoor watering, not only saves water but also helps ensure we have enough for the drier months ahead,” said BCVWD Board President John Covington.

Simple changes can make a big difference, adjust your sprinkler timer or turn it off entirely during rainy periods. Conserving water now helps protect this precious resource for the seasons ahead.
