The majority of the Beaver Creek Water System (BCWS) was constructed in the 1960's. The water mains were originally constructed with asbestos cement pipe and more recent improvements were with polyvinyl.

Since the Beaver Creek Water System has been converted into the ACRD, a new Glass Fused Kitsuksis Reservoir and the Strick Road Pump Station have been constructed. The pump station is providing potable water to the BCWS from the City of Port Alberni. The City of Port Alberni will work towards being compliant with the Island Health's 4321 Surface Water Treatment policy.

A long term solution to water supply and treatment will be made in consultation with Beaver Creek residents. There will be cost increases required by Beaver Creek to upgrade the water distribution system and to meet the treatment requirements of the IHA.
