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

Commercial rate increases are hitting Massachusetts across every region. Pittsfield implemented 8% in FY2025. Saugus is up 6%. Greenfield is at $4.35 per 100 cubic feet — all in the same rate cycle. This statewide pattern reflects aging infrastructure investment requirements that span every municipality.
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.
