The Massachusetts Water Situation
Massachusetts Commercial Properties Face Rate Increases and Active Drought Across All Regions
Massachusetts commercial water customers face a convergence of rate increases from multiple utilities and active drought conditions that are affecting supply reliability. From the Berkshires to Boston's western suburbs, utilities are raising rates to fund infrastructure investment while managing reduced natural water availability.
Commercial properties in Massachusetts 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.

Active Drought Conditions Across Massachusetts
Massachusetts is experiencing drought conditions that are reducing surface water and groundwater availability across the state. Drought compounds rate pressure: utilities managing reduced supplies must invest in alternative sources and conservation programs, passing costs to commercial customers.
