We understand that some customers may be looking for rebate or incentive programs and have questions about what is offered.
As a cost-recovery public agency, Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District is required to ensure that all expenses are supported by customer rates. These rates fund the essential services needed to deliver safe, dependable water to our community.
This includes:
Because rates are designed to cover the actual cost of providing water service, any additional programs would need to be funded through those same rates and approved through a public process.
As a special district, BCVWD must also ensure that all funds are used for water service purposes and in compliance with state regulations.
While rebate programs are not offered, BCVWD provides resources and guidance to help customers use water efficiently and manage their usage.

Baseball season is here, and just like the game, small plays can make a big difference over time.
Here are a few “winning plays” for saving water at home:
At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District, we focus on maintaining a reliable water system year-round. Small steps at home can help support efficient water use across the community.

Did you know that Beaumont’s water starts with a natural advantage?
Thanks to our local geography, surrounding mountains and natural filtration through layers of rock and sediment, our groundwater is naturally high quality before it even reaches our system.
To ensure your water remains safe from harmful bacteria, we add a small, regulated amount of chlorine. This is a standard and required practice for all water providers and helps protect public health by disinfecting the water before it reaches your home.
At BCVWD, we carefully monitor and adjust treatment levels to meet all state and federal drinking water standards, ensuring your water is:
✔️ Safe
✔️ Clean
✔️ Reliable
Providing safe drinking water is one of our most important responsibilities,” said BCVWD Board Member Daniel Slawson.” “Through careful monitoring and treatment, we ensure our community can trust the quality of the water delivered to their homes every day.”
We take pride in delivering water that not only meets, but consistently complies with, strict regulatory requirements, while maintaining the natural quality our region is known for.

With spring arriving, and experiencing warmer than normal temperatures, water use across our community may begin to increase sooner than expected, especially outdoors.
As we move into the season, small adjustments can help manage water use while keeping your landscape healthy:
✔️ Adjust sprinkler timers to match changing temperatures
✔️ Avoid watering on windy days to reduce water loss
✔️ Use mulch around plants to help retain moisture
✔️ Check for overspray onto sidewalks or driveways
Making a few seasonal changes can help ensure water is used efficiently as demand rises.
BCVWD remains committed to providing reliable water service while helping customers stay informed throughout the changing seasons.

BCVWD continues to move forward on multiple infrastructure projects designed to strengthen system reliability, improve water delivery, and prepare for future growth.
Recent updates from our Engineering Workshop include:
As with all large infrastructure programs, some projects require coordination with state agencies and regional partners. Our team continues working through permitting and design processes to keep projects moving forward.
“These capital projects represent BCVWD’s continued commitment to reliability, responsible infrastructure investment, and long-term water security for our community. By proactively improving wells, pipelines, and pressure zones, we are strengthening our system today while preparing to meet the needs of future growth” said BCVWD Board
Member Andy Ramirez.
These improvements are part of BCVWD’s ongoing effort to modernize facilities, protect groundwater resources, and deliver dependable service to over 64,000 residents.

Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District’s water supply is local, carefully managed, and decades in the making.
Our primary water source is groundwater from the Beaumont Basin, a shared underground storage area that serves multiple local agencies. This basin is managed under a court-approved adjudication to ensure long-term sustainability and responsible use. To safely manage the Beaumont Basin and comply with the adjudication, BCVWD partners regionally with the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency to purchase imported water to recharge all water that is extracted, through our recharge ponds consisting of 78.8 acres of land on Beaumont Ave between Cherry Valley Blvd and Brookside Ave.
In addition to basin wells, BCVWD operates wells in Edgar Canyon, a historic water source for our community since the early 1900s. These canyon wells continue to supply a portion of our water today.
To protect these sources, the District has invested in:
“Maintaining a reliable water supply requires both local stewardship and regional partnership,” said BCVWD Board President Lona Williams. “Our responsibility is to manage today’s resources wisely while planning ahead to ensure water reliability for future generations.”
From historic canyon diversions to modern recharge projects, BCVWD’s water system has evolved for more than a century, all with one goal: delivering safe, dependable water to our community.
