The Indiana Water Situation
Indiana Is Implementing Some of the Largest Commercial Water Rate Increases in the Midwest
Indiana's water utilities are in a capital investment crisis driven by decades of deferred infrastructure maintenance. The result is a wave of rate increases that are among the most aggressive in the Midwest. Bloomington, Anderson, and utilities across the state are implementing increases of 20–85% over 2–3 year schedules.
Commercial properties in Indiana 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.

Bloomington: 46–50% Water Rate Increase in 2025
The City of Bloomington is implementing a 46–50% commercial water rate increase in 2025. This is not phased — it is a near-immediate, near-doubling of commercial water costs. Properties spending $10,000/month on water will see bills approach $15,000 without any consumption change.
Anderson: 85.5% Total Increase by 2027, Starting Now
Anderson, Indiana has approved an 85.5% total rate increase by 2027, with an initial 20.5% increase taking effect now. This phased increase compounds year over year. Commercial properties in Anderson face a systematic, near-doubling of water costs over the next two years.
Statewide: 30–49% Increases Proposed Across Multiple Utilities
Bloomington and Anderson are not isolated cases. Multiple Indiana utilities are proposing or implementing increases in the 30–49% range to address aged infrastructure. Indiana's water rate trajectory is one of the steepest in the Midwest, and there is no indication this trend will reverse.
