When people think about growth in Beaumont and Cherry Valley, they often notice new homes, businesses, warehouses, and community facilities. What many don’t see is the extensive planning and engineering work happening behind the scenes to ensure our water system is prepared to serve that growth.

At the April 23, 2026 Board meeting, BCVWD’s Engineering Department provided an update highlighting the significant volume of development activity currently underway throughout the District’s service area. Engineering staff are actively coordinating dozens of projects at various stages of planning, review, design, and construction. These projects include residential neighborhoods, apartment communities, commercial developments, industrial facilities, churches, and other community-serving projects.

As our community continues to grow, Engineering staff are conducting water supply assessments, hydraulic modeling, fire flow analysis, plan reviews, annexations, construction coordination, and numerous other technical evaluations to ensure new development can be supported while maintaining reliable service for existing customers.

“Reliable water service requires more than pipes and pumps, it requires planning,” said BCVWD Board Member David Hoffman. “The Board appreciates the tremendous amount of work our Engineering and Operations teams perform behind the scenes to support growth, protect system reliability, and make thoughtful use of District resources. Their efforts help ensure new development is integrated responsibly while maintaining the level of service our customers expect.”

Whether reviewing a new residential community, evaluating infrastructure for industrial development, or coordinating construction activities, BCVWD staff play a critical role in preparing for the future while protecting the reliability of today’s water system. While Engineering staff lead much of the planning and technical review process, Operations staff also support development and infrastructure efforts, including completing certain work in-house when practical to help maximize value for ratepayers.

Did you know… delivering safe, reliable water takes an extensive system of infrastructure working behind the scenes every day?

From wells and pumps to pipelines, storage tanks, and monitoring systems, water doesn’t just appear at the tap, it’s carefully managed, treated, and delivered through a complex network that requires ongoing maintenance and investment.

As our region faces changing weather patterns and increasing demands, maintaining and upgrading this infrastructure is essential to ensure water reliability now and in the future. That’s why BCVWD continues to invest in projects that strengthen our system and protect water quality for our community. Reliable water starts long before you turn on the faucet.

Planning a backyard BBQ or family cookout this summer?

Here’s a simple way to save water before you even fire up the grill: plan ahead and thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator instead of using running water.

Many people use running water to speed up the thawing process, but a little advance planning can help conserve water while also keeping meal preparation convenient and safe.

Looking for a few more ways to save water this summer?

• Keep a pitcher of cold drinking water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap until it gets cold.
• Scrape food scraps into the trash or compost instead of rinsing them down the sink.
• Run dishwashers only when they are full.
• Check outdoor faucets and hoses for leaks before your next BBQ or gathering.

Small changes can add up to meaningful water savings over time.

At BCVWD, we encourage residents to look for simple opportunities to use water efficiently, especially during the warmer summer months when water demand is typically at its highest.

Protecting water quality is one of Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District’s highest priorities. One of the ways we do that is through our annual backflow prevention testing program.

Earlier this year, BCVWD mailed backflow testing notices to customers with required backflow prevention devices, including many commercial properties, multi-family communities, irrigation systems, fire sprinkler systems, and other specialized water connections.

What is backflow?

Backflow occurs when an unexpected change in water pressure causes water to flow in the opposite direction. When that happens, water from a property could potentially enter back into the public water supply, creating a possible health risk. Backflow prevention devices are designed to stop that from happening and help protect the safety of our drinking water.

Annual testing helps verify that these devices are functioning properly and continue to provide protection for both the property owner and the community’s water system.

Testing reports were due June 1, 2026. Customers who have not yet submitted their completed test results may receive a reminder notice in the coming weeks.

Questions about your backflow device or testing requirements? Please reach out to backflow@bcvwd.gov or call our office at (951) 845-9581.

Thank you for helping us protect safe, reliable drinking water for our community.
