Happy Spring from PCWD!

As we welcome the season of renewal, the Water District would like to take a moment to wish all of our customers a very Happy Spring! This season brings fresh blooms, warmer days, and a renewed sense of energy as nature comes alive.

As we enter this season, we are reminded of the importance of conserving water and being mindful of our resources. Spring is a great time to refresh your water-saving habits, whether it’s adjusting your irrigation system, using water-efficient appliances, or simply being more conscious of your water use.

Thank you for being a part of our community and for helping to keep our water supply healthy and sustainable. Here’s to a wonderful Spring full of growth, gratitude, and a bright future for all of us!

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and enjoy the season! 🌸💧

With appreciation,
Pine Cove Water District

Transition your Home from Winter to Spring

There is something about Spring that brings a whole new, vibrant energy! As springtime brings more sun back, it is important to be mindful of our water use during warmer weather. Experts estimate that roughly 50% of our water that is used outdoors is wasted through evaporation or runoff that is caused by overwatering. Being mindful of the amount of water we use can not only help prevent water shortages during drought season, but it can also help reduce the cost of your water bill.

Here are a few tips to help you keep your water usage down during the warmer months.

  1. Do not over-water plants and lawns.
    Avoid water runoff into streets and gutters.
  2. For best results, try morning watering.
    Evaporation loss is at a minimum.
  3. Avoid washing down paved areas.
    Sweep driveway and sidewalks instead.
  4. When washing the car…
    Use a bucket of water. Use the hose only to rinse.
  5. Invest in drought-tolerant landscaping. It requires less watering to keep your landscape healthy.
  6. Use a drip irrigation system. This reduces run-off and promotes deep rooting.
  7. Preserve existing trees. Established plants are often adapted to low water conditions. Porous paving materials such as brick, decomposed granite, or gravel used in patios and walk-ways help keep water in the garden rather than in the gutter.
  8. Set automatic timing devices. This allows efficient watering on a schedule suited to each area of the landscape

A Little Snow!

Pine Cove residents woke up this morning to cold temperatures, frozen windshields, icy roads and a little bit of snow! A dusting of snow this morning was enough to give our mountain that gorgeous winter shimmer.  With this colder weather, please be careful while driving on the icy roads. As always remember to winterize your home and turn off your water at the customer valve before leaving your mountain home.

February Billing

Hello Residents of Pine Cove!

February billing (due March 1, 2025) has gone out. If you get emailed bills, you may have already received yours. The mailing included Customer Care Information which you can view here, as well as information on shutting off your water valve which you can read about here.

The bi-monthly minimum is $80.00 for two month billing period, excluding any water usage. Water usage is billed as follows:
$8.00 per thousand gallons from 0 to 7,500 gallons
$10.00 per thousand gallons from 7,500 to 15,000 gallons
$12.00 per thousand gallons over 15,000

Water bills are mailed around the 1st of the Billing Month (even months). All bills are due and payable by the 1st of the following month (odd months). Any bill not paid by the due date will be termed delinquent and subject to a $15.00 late fee and/or termination. If shut off, a reconnect fee of $90.00 will be charged, in addition to the current amount due, to re-establish service.

There are several ways to pay your bill. ACH Auto Draft is a free service; the payment is automatically taken out of your bank account (filled out form required). You can log on to your account online, and pay with a Visa/Mastercard/Discover, or E-check. To register your account online, you will need your account number, and the Municipality Code which is PineCoveWDCA. Go to www.pcwd.org and click the “Billing” tab and the Payment option link. Next, click on the www.ub-pay.com link and register your account from there. You can come into the office and pay by check, cash, or card (one person at a time). Call with a credit/debit card (Please note that there is a convenience fee of $3.00 per hundred dollars charged if using a credit card). Drop payments thru the slot on the front door or mail a check or money order.

The Pine Cove Water District needs your help!

Our water demand is at least twice the amount it should be during the Winter months.  Why?  Because some customers do not shut their water off when they leave Pine Cove.  Did you shut your water off at your customer valve when you left your mountain home? Do you need us to shut your water off for a $15.00 service fee? Please call our office if you have any questions or concerns at 951-659-2675.

Thank you for your help!!
