The Connecticut Water Situation
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 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 Connecticut — hotels, apartment complexes, car washes, hospitals, and golf courses — delivering verified water bill reductions averaging 27% annually.

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 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.
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.
