Planning for the holiday season? Consider these water conservation ideas while prepping your meals!
🧊 Save water by thawing food in the refrigerator overnight instead of running it under the tap.
🍲 While cooking, use a pot with just enough water to cover the ingredients. This will save water and retain more of the nutrients in your food.

Fall is the perfect season to grow produce in your garden! With cooler temperatures and less intense sun, plants require less water to thrive and are less susceptible to heat stress. BCVWD encourages customers to take advantage of this ideal gardening season by planting vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, beets and kale. 🥦🥕🥬
Growing your own food is a great way to save money and reduce your carbon footprint. So, grab your gardening gloves and get ready to enjoy the bounty of the season!
“BCVWD is committed to ensuring a reliable water supply now and in the future,” said Board Director Andy Ramirez. “Customers play an important role in supporting local conservation. As the season shifts, take time to evaluate sprinkler or plumbing leaks as ways to save at home or at work. Even the smallest changes can make a big difference.”

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.

🍽️ When washing dishes by hand, fill one sink with wash water and a tub with rinse water.
💦 Run your dishwasher only when full.
🗑️ Compost and recycle organics instead of using the garbage disposal to save gallons every time.
🍇 Wash produce in a partially filled sink or pan instead of under running water from the tap.

The Beaumont MDP Line 16 Project received the Outstanding Flood Control Project of the Year Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Los Angeles Section at its annual awards ceremony on September 30. 🎉 The project will now be nominated for a Region 9 Award.
Completed as a joint project with the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, the underground storm drain captures enough stormwater to supply as many as 900 local families a year and stores it in the Beaumont groundwater basin. It simultaneously protects Cherry Valley properties from flood events.
BCVWD and Riverside County Flood Control hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 7 to celebrate the project’s completion. The project was also recognized at the ASCE San Bernardino and Riverside Branch Gala Awards in August.
Accepting the award on behalf of the District were Board Treasurer Lona Williams, Board Director Andy Ramirez, General Manager Dan Jaggers, and Director of Engineering Mark Swanson. Learn more at bcvwd.org. #BCVWD #StormwaterCapture # ASCE #RiversideCountyFloodControl
