Annual Consumer Confidence Report
The annual Consumer Confidence Report has been approved by SWRCB and has been uploaded to the website. Click here to visit the Belmont Water Corporation Notices page.June Weather
June was about 3 degrees warmer than average at 97 degrees and it appears that the warm weather spurred that usage of water (see below). The month started and ended with triple digits, but gave us some nice days and a bit of rain in the middle. The Fresno Bee reports that we have received 14.29" of rain since the beginning of the weather year, last September 1, compared to a normal of 11.5".
Water Sharing and the Well
The interconnection between BWC and BCC was closed on June 10 when repairs were completed to the BCC domestic well. We have completed some minor improvements on the well, extending an air vent and pouring a larger concrete pad around the pump motor. SWRCB will be inspecting the water system in July.
Watering Rules
Please water only three days per week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. If you have a seasonal adjustment on your sprinkler controller, it should be at the 100% level.
Water Conservation
Water usage in June was up substantially to almost 89,000 gallons per household, 16% worse than the target, and 23% worse than last year. For the year, we are still slightly better than last year at 2% better than the target and 5% better than last year. Click here for a larger view.
