Denver Water's Commercial Rebate Program: How to Get Up to 50% of Your Smart Valve™ Cost Covered
Denver Water offers rebates that can cover up to 50% of the cost of a Smart Valve™ installation — but the budget runs out every year. Here's exactly how to apply before it's gone.
Annual Budget Warning
Denver Water's commercial conservation rebate budget is funded annually and runs out on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the budget is exhausted, no new applications are accepted until the next fiscal year. Facilities that delay risk missing the window.
What Is the Denver Water Commercial Rebate Program?
Denver Water operates one of the most aggressive commercial conservation incentive programs in the country. The Commercial Conservation Rebate Program provides financial incentives to commercial customers who install qualifying water conservation devices — including Smart Valve™.
The rebate covers up to 50% of the total installed cost of a qualifying Smart Valve™ system. For a typical commercial facility, this represents a significant reduction in the payback period — and in many cases, positions the investment for ROI in the first billing cycle alone.
Why Colorado Is a Priority Market
Colorado is Perfect Water Valve's designated priority market, and Denver is the center of that market for good reason. Denver Water implemented a 10% rate increase in 2025, with additional increases projected through the decade as the Colorado River Compact continues to tighten supply constraints across the Front Range.
Colorado has minimal existing Smart Valve™ market penetration, meaning facilities that act now are first-movers — locking in the technology, the rebate, and the savings before the market becomes saturated and rebate competition increases.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for the Denver Water Commercial Rebate, your facility must meet the following criteria:
- ✓Active commercial water account with Denver Water
- ✓Minimum water consumption threshold (contact Perfect Water Valve to verify eligibility)
- ✓Installation of a qualifying NSF-certified water conservation device (Smart Valve™ qualifies)
- ✓Pre-approval completed before installation — retroactive applications are not accepted
