Division 2

At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District (BCVWD), we’re dedicated to providing safe, clean, and reliable drinking water every single day.

Recently, the State of California updated its regulations for Chromium-6 (Cr-6), setting one of the strictest standards in the nation. One of our 23 wells tested slightly above the new state limit (11 parts per billion), which required us to notify all customers.

Here’s what you need to know:
✅ This is not an emergency — your water remains safe to drink.
✅ BCVWD’s water meets or exceeds all federal standards for drinking water.
✅ The State’s new rule changes the definition of acceptable Chromium-6 levels — not the actual quality of your water.

We continue to take a proactive and cost-effective approach to meet State requirements while ensuring the high-quality water our community depends on.

Guess which of these sneaky leaks can cost you the most money on your water bill:

A) A dripping faucet
B) A running toilet
C) A forgotten garden hose

👉 The answer: B! A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day!
But don’t forget, all of these sneaky leaks add up. Dripping faucets and forgotten hoses might not seem like much, but over time they can waste thousands of gallons of water and raise your bill.

Check your home regularly and stop sneaky leaks before they drain your wallet. 💸💧

Once we know why replenishment is required, the next question is: where does that water come from?

The answer is the California State Water Project (SWP), a massive system of reservoirs, canals, and pipelines that delivers water throughout the state.

Here in Beaumont, we work with the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency (SGPWA), our regional wholesale water provider, to purchase water from the SWP. BCVWD then uses that imported water to replenish the Beaumont Basin and deliver safe, reliable drinking water directly to our customers.

It’s a true partnership:

• State Water Project (SWP): Moves water across California.
• SGPWA: Purchases SWP water for our region.
• BCVWD: Replenishes the basin and delivers water to you.

On your bill, you may notice a State Water Project pass-through charge. This is the cost BCVWD pays to SGPWA for the imported water we purchase on behalf of our community. It’s not an extra fee from BCVWD, but simply the share of costs required to secure the long-term water supplies we all rely on.

Together, this partnership ensures our community has access to safe, reliable water today, and tomorrow.

Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District is moving forward with Capital Improvement Project T-3040-001: Noble Tank No. 2. This project is essential because water demand in the area has significantly increased with new development, creating the need for more storage capacity.

The new 2-million-gallon tank will:

• Provide much-needed storage in a growing pressure zone.
• Be designed with flexible support technology to withstand seismic activity.
• Include pipeline reconfiguration for a future booster station to serve Cherry Valley and the Upper Mesa areas.
• Make improvements to the existing Noble Tank site and surrounding property.

“The Board of Directors is proud to support projects like Noble Tank No. 2, which ensure our community has the reliable water storage it needs today and in the future,” said BCVWD Board member John Covington. “By planning ahead and building responsibly, we are strengthening the District’s ability to serve our growing region.”

Funding for this project comes from restricted capacity charges, ensuring that costs are covered by growth-related fees and not existing customer rates.Construction plans went out to bid with 13 interested parties responding. Bids due October 15, 2025 with staff aiming to award a contract at the October 25, 2025 Engineering Workshop.

BCVWD remains committed to investing in safe, reliable infrastructure that protects and serves our customers. #BCVWD #CIP

Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District is nearing completion of the Palmer Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) Station, part of our Non-Potable Master Plan.

Consistent water pressure is essential, when pressure is too high or too low, it creates challenges for both irrigation and daily operations. The new PRV Station will ensure safe, steady pressures in the area, improving reliability for customers and preserving potable water for where it’s needed most.

The new PRV Station provides a lasting solution by:

• Regulating non-potable water to safe pressures
• Preserving potable water for domestic use
• Reducing treatment costs and saving ratepayers money
• Restoring reliable irrigation for Niklaus Park, benefiting the entire community

The underground vault housing the PRV Station was installed on September 25, 2025, with final installation scheduled for October 2, 2025. Much of the project was completed by BCVWD staff, with the exception of the vault drop, which required a crane to handle its 21,000-pound lid.

“The Board of Directors is proud to support projects like the Palmer Pressure Reducing Station that improve reliability, protect potable water supplies, and directly benefits our community by further reducing costly treatment,” said BCVWD Board Member Andy Ramirez. “By investing in smart infrastructure, we’re helping ensure that both residents and public spaces have the water they need today and in the future.”

We’re proud of the teamwork and foresight that made this project possible, another step forward in building a stronger water system for our community.
