Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District is asking for the community’s help as we respond to the ongoing theft of fire hydrants in our service area.

Fire hydrants are critical public infrastructure paid for by our ratepayers. When someone steals a hydrant, they are stealing from the entire community and potentially affecting the availability of essential equipment during an emergency.

The District is actively inventorying hydrants and installing additional protections wherever possible. However, the individuals responsible appear to be taking steps to avoid detection. They may be shutting off valves before removing hydrants so water does not flow into the street, and the thefts may be occurring at night or in areas with limited traffic.

Please help protect the hydrants in your neighborhood:

• Keep an eye on nearby hydrants and report suspicious activity.
• Where practical, position Ring doorbells or security cameras so nearby hydrants are visible.
• If you notice a missing or damaged hydrant, email info@bcvwd.gov and report it to law enforcement.
• Check your camera footage to determine whether the incident was captured, and preserve any relevant recordings.
• Do not confront suspicious individuals. Contact law enforcement and observe from a safe location.

If you see something, say something.

Working together, we can help protect the public infrastructure that belongs to all of us. #BCVWD #BeaumontCA #CherryValleyCA #CommunityAlert #PublicSafety #SeeSomethingSaySomething

Last month, Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District (BCVWD) mailed a required notification to customers regarding chromium-6 (also known as hexavalent chromium) in local groundwater.

This notice is part of state requirements to keep our community informed. While there is currently no enforceable federal standard for chromium-6, California has established a notification level to help water agencies share information with customers.

BCVWD wants to reassure our community that your water continues to meet all current state and federal drinking water standards. We continuously monitor water quality and are actively evaluating long-term solutions to address chromium-6 in our water supply.

Transparency is important to us, and we are committed to keeping our customers informed every step of the way.

Summer temperatures can rise quickly, making it important to stay hydrated and recognize the signs of heat-related illness. Whether you are working outdoors, spending time with family, or simply running errands, drinking plenty of water throughout the day is one of the best ways to help your body stay cool.

Heat-related illnesses can develop faster than many people realize, especially during periods of extreme heat. Planning outdoor activities during the cooler parts of the day, taking breaks in the shade, and staying hydrated can help reduce your risk.

At BCVWD, the safety of our employees is a top priority. Throughout the summer, we provide training, monitor changing weather conditions, and follow established procedures to help protect employees who work outdoors. We also encourage frequent hydration and take additional precautions during periods of excessive heat so our teams can continue serving the community safely.

As temperatures climb, remember to look out for yourself, your family, your neighbors, and even your pets. A little extra water can make a big difference.

Myth: Bottled water is safer and cleaner than tap water.

Fact: Your tap water is tested more frequently and held to stricter standards than bottled water.

Many people assume bottled water must be the healthier choice because it comes in a sealed bottle. In reality, drinking water providers, like Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District, are required to perform regular testing for a wide range of contaminants and comply with strict federal and state drinking water regulations, while bottled water is regulated under a different set of standards and generally is not subject to the same level of routine testing and continuous monitoring required of public water systems.

In addition to different regulations, bottled water often travels long distances before reaching store shelves and is stored in plastic containers that may be exposed to heat during transportation and storage.

Your tap water, on the other hand, is delivered directly to your home through a monitored distribution system and is monitored and tested throughout the year to ensure it continues to meet or exceed state and federal drinking water standards.

Other benefits of drinking tap water include helping reduce plastic waste, lessening the environmental impacts associated with manufacturing and transporting bottled water, and saving money. One unit of water (748 gallons) can fill nearly 6,000 16-ounce water bottles, all for less than $5.

At BCVWD, we’re proud to provide safe, reliable drinking water that our community can trust every day. To learn more about your water quality, read our annual Consumer Confidence Report at https://bcvwd.gov.
