Let’s look back at the history of BCVWD. We’ve evolved to serve 59,000 people in both the City of Beaumont and the community of Cherry Valley. In 1920, however, BCVWD was known as the Beaumont Irrigation District and focused on exploring the Edgar Canyon and Noble Canyon areas. In those years, 35 wells were drilled on canyon lands to increase service reliability.

Over the decades, irrigation crops diminished while domestic water needs boomed. We are no longer that small, privately owned company but a full-fledged water system devoted to meeting our growing customers’ needs.

A surge of tropical and monsoonal moisture is projected to impact our region, resulting in widespread heavy rainfall, particularly from Sunday into Monday. While the City of Beaumont could receive anywhere between 3-5 inches of rain, it’s important to note that surrounding areas may receive significantly more, ranging from 7 to 10 inches of rain.

In light of these projections, we kindly request all residents to make adjustments to their outdoor irrigation during this period. By temporarily suspending outdoor irrigation, you can help mitigate the impact of excess water and assist in preventing any potential flooding situations. Your proactive efforts in conserving water during this time are deeply appreciated.

Did you know composting conserves water? This simple eco-friendly practice reduces waste, saves water, and helps you grow more food.

Here are a few reasons we love composting:

1. Composting food allows you to use the garbage disposal sparingly, saving gallons of water.
2. Using compost when you garden adds water-holding organic matter to the soil.

August is Family Fun Month — at BCVWD, we think water conservation is loads of fun! Highlight the importance of water conservation at home with these activities.

1. Dye your toilet tank with food coloring. If it seeps into the toilet bowl, you have a leak. This easy family experiment can save more than 600 gallons a month.
2. Host a decorate-your-water-bottle day. Have each family member pick out their favorite reusable water bottle to decorate. These water bottles reduce plastic and water waste.

It’s back-to-school season, and we hope our local families are having a wonderful time learning new things and establishing routines. Here are some easy ways to practice water conservation while you get back into the swing of things.

1. Morning routines mean brushed teeth and fresh faces. Teach your children to turn the faucets off tightly after each use. They might even consider washing their face or brushing their teeth while in the shower to save water.
2. Back-to-school clothes mean lots of laundry. Try to match the water level to the size of the load to conserve water.

Here’s a fun way to beat the heat and water your grass sustainably.

When the kids need to cool off and play, run a sprinkler where your lawn needs it. We suggest pairing this summer fun with a few popsicles.

This summer has been hot! It’s essential to take care of our water and ourselves in the face of extreme heat. Here are a few tips to conserve water and stay healthy.

1. Avoid running the tap every time you need a cool drink. Keep a pitcher of water in the fridge instead so that every drop goes down you and not the drain.
2. Designate one glass for drinking water each day. This will reduce the number of dishwasher runs.
