Groundwater Quality Evaluation Committee for the Beaumont/Cherry Valley Area

Report Findings from Technical Experts and Local Committee Members

A water quality report determined that sub-surface disposal systems had the potential to further impact the groundwater quality in the Beaumont/Cherry Valley area. Due to the findings of the report, The Riverside County Board of Supervisors created the Groundwater Quality Evaluation Committee for the Beaumont/Cherry Valley Area on April 29, 2008. The committee consists of representatives from the local community and technical experts in the field of water quality. The committee will review technical data presented by regional experts and make recommendations to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, Cities of Beaumont and Banning, and the Board of Beaumont Cherry Valley Water District regarding growing concerns of groundwater quality in the Beaumont water basin area.
