Aurora Water Rates Rising — Colorado Drought Straining Reservoir Supply
Aurora Water is implementing commercial rate increases driven by Colorado's ongoing drought conditions. Aurora's complex water portfolio — spanning multiple river systems and reservoir storage — is under stress, requiring infrastructure investment and conservation programs that are funded through commercial rate increases. AWS reports average savings just above 22% across its North American projects. Individual results vary.
The Aurora Water Situation
Aurora's Multi-Source Water Portfolio Is Under Drought Stress — Commercial Rates Rising to Compensate
Aurora Water manages one of Colorado's most complex water portfolios, drawing from multiple river systems and reservoir storage to serve the state's third-largest city. Colorado's drought conditions are reducing water availability across all these sources simultaneously, requiring expensive drought resilience investments that are funded through commercial rate increases.
Commercial properties in Aurora may have site-specific water-system and billing considerations. Smart Valve™ assessment and installation planning is based on the property's actual setup, billing history, and local requirements. Published project results vary by site and measurement period.

Aurora Water Implementing Commercial Rate Increases in 2025
Aurora Water is raising commercial water rates to fund drought resilience infrastructure and maintain reliable supply from its diverse portfolio of water rights and storage facilities. As Aurora's commercial market continues to grow, infrastructure investment requirements are accelerating.
Colorado Drought: Reservoir Levels and Snowpack Below Average
Aurora's water supply depends on mountain snowpack and reservoir storage across multiple Colorado river systems. Drought conditions have reduced snowpack and reservoir levels below historical averages, stressing Aurora's supply reliability. Conservation mandates are in force for commercial properties.
Aurora's Tech and Medical Corridor — High Commercial Water Demand
Aurora hosts a growing tech corridor, Anschutz Medical Campus (one of the largest academic medical campuses in the US), and major commercial development along the I-225 corridor. These high-volume commercial water users are the strongest ROI candidates for Smart Valve™ installations.
