93 Budget Message December 14, 2020 To the Board of Directors, Customers, and Stakeholders of the Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District: For over one hundred years, the Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District (District) has provided residents and businesses in the City of Beaumont and the community of Cherry Valley with a safe and reliable water supply. The purpose of this budget is to provide customers, the Board of Directors, and other stakeholders with reliable financial information about the District. Through the process of planning and preparing the budget, the District assesses its plans and goals for the foreseeable future by identifying and estimating the spending of financial resources. The budget was prepared after considering major policy issues that impact District revenues such as reasonable water conservation efforts and changes in the local rate of development. The fundamental theme of the document is to present a balanced Budget with conservative estimates for revenues and realistic expense projections. Notable Accomplishments In February 2020, the District was awarded $1.5 million in federal funding that is to be matched by BCVWD in the implementation of the conversion from manual read meters to radio read meters, the Automatic Meter Reading/Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMR/AMI) Project. This project would replace all of the District’s 19,000+ water meters with current automatic read technology, saving staff time, reducing errors and eliminating wear and tear on District vehicles, while offering a new and informational data set for detecting leaks within the transmission and distribution system. District staff continued to support local area development.
