Pueblo Board of Water Works Raised Rates 4.8% in 2024 — Arkansas River Drought Stress Ongoing
Pueblo Board of Water Works raised commercial rates 4.8% in 2024 as Pueblo Reservoir and the Arkansas River face intensifying drought stress. Pueblo's industrial and commercial base depends on reliable, affordable water — and Smart Valve™ cuts your metered bill 15%–35% annually, guaranteed.
The Pueblo Water Situation
Pueblo's Reservoir-Dependent Water Supply Is Under Escalating Drought and Infrastructure Pressure
Pueblo Board of Water Works raised commercial rates 4.8% in 2024 to fund infrastructure investment and drought resilience. Pueblo's dependence on Pueblo Reservoir and the Arkansas River — both under significant drought stress — means the rate trajectory will continue as supply reliability challenges grow.
Commercial properties in Pueblo 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 Pueblo — hotels, apartment complexes, car washes, hospitals, and golf courses — delivering verified water bill reductions averaging 27% annually.

Pueblo Board of Water Works: 4.8% Rate Increase in 2024
Pueblo Board of Water Works raised commercial rates 4.8% in 2024 to fund infrastructure upgrades and maintain reliable supply from Pueblo Reservoir. Pueblo's industrial water base means commercial users absorb a significant share of infrastructure investment costs.
Pueblo Reservoir and Arkansas River Under Drought Stress
Pueblo's primary water sources — Pueblo Reservoir and the Arkansas River — are both under drought stress. Low snowpack years directly reduce reservoir inflows, stressing Pueblo Water's ability to maintain reliable supply without significant infrastructure investment.
Industrial and Steel Sector — High Water Intensity Applications
Pueblo's industrial base includes manufacturing, steel, and processing facilities that are among the highest-intensity water users. For these facilities, Smart Valve™'s guaranteed 15% minimum reduction translates to immediate operating cost reduction and improved water efficiency metrics.
