Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District is moving forward with a key infrastructure project to improve water system reliability along American Avenue and 11th Street.

The Board of Directors approved a construction contract for this project on March 22, 2026. The project will replace aging pipelines that have been prone to leaks in recent years.

Project improvements include:

• Replacing 1,183 feet of pipeline on American Avenue
• Upgrading aging infrastructure to reduce leaks and improve efficiency
• Replacing nearly 2,000 feet of pipeline on 11th Street
• Increasing pipe size to support improved system performance

This project is part of BCVWD’s ongoing Capital Improvement Program and reflects the District’s commitment to maintaining reliable service and proactively addressing infrastructure needs.

 “Investing in infrastructure like pipeline replacements is essential to maintaining reliable water service,” said BCVWD Board Member John Covington. “By proactively upgrading aging pipelines, we are helping reduce service disruptions and ensuring our system continues to meet the needs of our community.”

Construction is anticipated to begin in the coming weeks as materials are secured. Learn more: https://bcvwd.gov

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:

• Maintaining and repairing pipelines
• Operating and upgrading wells
• Ensuring water quality and regulatory compliance
• Investing in infrastructure to support long-term reliability

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:

• Fix Leaks Early – Don’t let small drips turn into big losses
• Water Smart – Early morning watering helps reduce evaporation
• Use a Broom, Not a Hose – Keep your driveway clean without extra water use
• Check Your Irrigation Lineup – Make sure sprinkler heads are working properly

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:

• New and Replacement Wells – Well 30 is preparing to go out to bid, and Well 31 is being coordinated in partnership with the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency. These projects help ensure long-term groundwater reliability.
• Pipeline Improvements – Replacement pipeline work is ongoing, including improvements along 11th Street. We are coordinating closely with the City of Beaumont on paving schedules to reduce impacts and improve efficiency.
• Pressure Zone Projects – Design work continues on potable and non-potable pressure zone improvements to maintain consistent service levels throughout our community.
• Tank Rehabilitation & Coating – Bid documents are being prepared to rehabilitate and protect four storage tanks, extending their service life and protecting water quality.
• Hydrant & Service Improvements – We are evaluating hydrant replacements and service line improvements to maintain reliability and manage replacement costs responsibly.

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.
