Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District Changes Start Time of it’s Regular Meetings
BEAUMONT, CA – The Board of Directors of the Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District voted to start its regular meetings earlier in the evening in order to alleviate the frequency of late evening meetings. The regular meetings will now begin at 6 p.m.

The Thursday meetings are generally designated as an Engineering Workshop.
President John Covington said, “This will reduce the number of times the Board has adjourned late in the evening, and allows for more adequate time to address the increasing amount of business before the Board.”

Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District Slashes Cost of Water Line Replacement
At the Regular Meeting of the Beaumont-Cherry Valley Board of Directors, Chairman of the Finance and Audit Committee David Hoffman reported that the District saved its ratepayers a total of approximately $368,000 in conjunction with the 8th Street water line replacements and paving project, a joint project with the City of Beaumont.
The District Board of Directors and Staff have made concerted efforts to work more closely with County and City departments when considering infrastructure improvements. Gone are the days when residents might see their freshly-paved streets torn up just weeks later due to pipeline work. Now, District and City staff meet to discuss upcoming projects and how best to minimize impact on residents and maximize value of ongoing public improvement projects that are coordinated to ensure maximum value for funds expended.
City of Beaumont Staff identified a 2018 paving project for 8th Street between Pennsylvania Avenue and Xenia Avenue. BCVWD and the City coordinated that project to include replacement of water service lines located under 8th Street which needed replacement due to age and leaks. Initially, the District coordinated a joint venture project with the City to replace the affected water services, however, the City’s Bid Schedule for the water line replacement portion of the project was $520,000.
District Staff analyzed the contractor bids received by the City, and with support from the Board of Directors identified an alternative approach consisting of a hybrid construction methodology using contracted as well as in-house labor and materials for a significant portion of the work that was completed for $152,000, for a net savings of approximately $368,000 to the rate payers of the District.
District personnel, with full support of the Board of Directors, worked side-by-side with the final selected contractor to complete the project at a reasonable cost to the ratepayers and the partnership resulted in tremendous savings of approximately $368,000 to the community.
