Spotlight on BCVWD History

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.
