Overview The Beaver Valley Water System provides water treatment, supply, distribution and fire protection to the Village of Fruitvale and a portion of Electoral Area ‘A’ (Rural Fruitvale). (The Village of Fruitvale runs the system but RDKB owns it)
The system receives direct water supply from Kelly Creek and when required, two back-up chlorinated wells. Water is treated at the Treatment Plant via sand filtration and ultra violet system with minimal chlorine added to the water.
The RDKB Utilities Committee meets once a month in order to make decisions with respect to management of the water service and plan to ensure our water needs are sustainable for the future.

The Columbia Gardens Industrial Park encompasses approximately 58 acres of land and is located in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), Electoral Area ‘A’, southeast of the City of Trail. Currently, the Industrial Park’s Water System, which is owned and operated by the RDKB, provides potable water to approximately 15 tenants of the industrial park, including businesses related to commercial/industrial recycling activities, metallurgy operations and general light industry.
In 2009/2010, through Gas Tax and federal grant funds, the RDKB completed a major upgrade to the water system that included the following items:
• A new 3.0 Million litre water reservoir, Drilling and commissioning of a secondary water supply well of a new deep well • Upgrades to the current Pump Station • Two deep wells and Pump House, • New dedicated water supply and distribution mains (allowing for sufficient water flows for fire protection and future expansion of industrial activities in the Columbia Gardens)
With the above improvements, the Columbia Gardens Industrial Park is now able to attract new industry opportunities to the region.

The Rivervale Water System currently supplies drinking water to approximately 120 parcels, consisting of about 115 residential properties, and 5 light industrial lots within the unincorporated area of Rivervale (Electoral Area ‘B’).
The original Rivervale Water System was constructed in the early 1950’s, with its primary source of supply being an intake constructed on Hanna Creek. Additional supply sources were obtained from Dean/Durkin and McNally Springs in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Those springs were utilized until the late 1990’s. In 2003, two new wells were drilled in the vicinity of the Hanna Creek infrastructure.
In 2011, the water service transitioned from an Improvement District to an RDKB Local Service Area. Since that time, the RDKB has completed significant upgrades to the system, including SCADA control improvements, treatment building security / electrical upgrades, and recently, the installation of an Online Filtration System to meet current IHA Drinking Water Objectives.
