Recharge Ponds, Rain & Water Purchase

It’s a great season for recharge! Thanks to the wet year in California, the Noble Creek Recharge Facility is seeing plenty of water to replenish the groundwater beneath our feet.

To bolster this recharge, BCVWD will purchase 11,200 acre-feet of water from the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency (SGPWA) for 2024, with a potential order of 7,000 acre-feet of additional supply pending availability. This follows a water order of 18,200 acre-feet in 2023.

Because of the wet year, BCVWD anticipates recharging the full 18,200 acre-feet of water in 2023. This will shore up water supplies for future dry years and promote long-term groundwater sustainability.
