Colorado Springs Utilities is implementing commercial water rate increases driven by severe drought conditions and significant infrastructure investment requirements. Colorado Springs is the second-largest city in Colorado and a major commercial market facing the same drought-driven rate pressure as Denver. Smart Valve™ cuts your bill 15%–35% annually, guaranteed.
The Colorado Springs Water Situation
Colorado Springs Utilities is implementing commercial rate increases driven by a confluence of severe drought, infrastructure investment requirements, and the growing water demands of Colorado Springs' expanding commercial and residential market. Colorado Springs' location on the Front Range makes it particularly vulnerable to drought-driven supply constraints.
Commercial properties in Colorado Springs face the same water system challenges as properties across the country: pressure fluctuations that cause meters to over-record consumption, water hammer from surge conditions, and leaks accelerated by supply pressure above the 65 PSI design limit of most fixtures. The Smart Valve™ has been installed in commercial properties throughout Colorado Springs — hotels, apartment complexes, car washes, hospitals, and golf courses — delivering verified water bill reductions averaging 27% annually.

Colorado Springs Utilities is raising commercial water rates to fund infrastructure investment and drought resilience programs. As Colorado's second-largest city, Colorado Springs' water system serves a large and growing commercial market that requires ongoing investment.
Colorado Springs draws water from mountain snowpack and transmountain diversion systems. 2025 drought conditions are severely stressing these sources. Conservation mandates are in force, and commercial properties that fail to reduce consumption risk penalties and permit restrictions.
Colorado Springs hosts Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, and multiple defense contractors — all significant commercial water users. For these facilities, Smart Valve™'s guaranteed 15% minimum reduction translates directly to reduced operational costs and improved ESG metrics.
Smart Valve™ serves commercial properties across Colorado Springs, Monument, Manitou Springs, Black Forest, and the broader El Paso County commercial market.
