Water is a precious resource that is much talked about these days in California. With this resource being stretched statewide and with many of our communities facing mandated changes, the customers of Bighorn Desert View Water Agency remain relaxed. We have only to turn on the tap and clean clear water is pumped from the reservoir beneath our feet and efficiently distributed to our homes. The Board of Directors and our General Manager, Mrs. West, have fought very hard to maintain superior levels of service to every bdvwa customer. The system is in good shape with improvements carefully mapped out for the future. The budgeting and cost controls employed at the local level have enabled our water agency to service their customers without a rate increase since 2008. The residents of Flamingo Heights, Johnson Valley and Landers are blessed to be able to take their water for granted.
In the last year the normal routine of bdvwa was interrupted by requests from the customers of the county run W1 system to join with our agency. These folk are our neighbors, they pump their water from the same source as we do but county long distance management has resulted in higher rates with rate projections to go even higher in the near future. One might ask, why? Asking for some financial accountability from county officials is met with only blank stares and the unspoken accusation that Bighorn Desert View Water Agency is not operating in the best long range interest of the customer. This groundless slander is typical big government excuse making for their own mismanagement and reckless spending.
Please forgive the pun but the grass is really greener at Bighorn Desert View Water Agency.
