The Connecticut Water Situation
Connecticut Commercial Properties Face PFAS Remediation Costs and Stacked Rate Increases
Connecticut water utilities are facing a perfect storm: aging infrastructure investment requirements compounded by costly PFAS contamination remediation programs. These dual pressures are driving some of the largest proposed rate increases in the state's history — and commercial properties bear the largest share of the cost.
Commercial properties in Connecticut 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.

CT Water: 5.45% Increase Already Active, 19% Proposed for 2027
Connecticut Water Company raised commercial rates 5.45% in 2024. But the bigger threat is the 19% rate hike currently proposed for 2027. If approved, this will represent one of the largest single-year increases in Connecticut commercial water history. Properties that reduce consumption now will save on both increases.
PFAS Contamination Driving Massive Infrastructure Costs
PFAS contamination in Connecticut's water supply is requiring expensive treatment upgrades across the state. These costs are not discretionary — they are regulatory mandates. Utilities pass them directly to commercial customers through rate increases that will continue for years as remediation programs progress.
South Central CT Regional Water Authority Up 3.4% in July 2026
The South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority is implementing a 3.4% commercial rate increase effective July 2026. Combined with CT Water's increases and proposed hikes, Connecticut commercial properties face stacked rate increases across multiple utilities.
