Billings and Missoula Are Seeing 5–6% Annual Commercial Water Rate Increases — Smart Valve™ Delivers 15%–35% annually in Savings
Montana's water infrastructure is aging while population grows rapidly in its major metros. Billings raised commercial rates 5.8% in 2025. Missoula increased 6.2%. Mountain-fed systems create ideal air entrapment conditions for Smart Valve™ results.
The Montana Water Situation
Montana Commercial Properties Face Rising Rates in a Fast-Growing, Infrastructure-Strained Market
Montana is experiencing rapid growth in Billings, Missoula, and Bozeman. Aging water infrastructure combined with growing demand means rates are rising and likely to continue.
Commercial properties in Montana 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 Montana — hotels, apartment complexes, car washes, hospitals, and golf courses — delivering verified water bill reductions averaging 27% annually.

Billings +5.8%, Missoula +6.2% in 2025
Montana's two largest cities both increased commercial water rates in 2025. Bozeman, which is experiencing some of the fastest growth in the state, has implemented comparable increases to fund infrastructure expansion.
Mountain Water — Ideal Smart Valve™ Conditions
Montana's Rockies-fed water systems create the same elevated-pressure, air-entrapment conditions found in Colorado and Idaho. Mountain West commercial properties consistently achieve strong Smart Valve™ results.
Hospitality & Tourism Market
Glacier National Park, Yellowstone gateway markets, and Big Sky resort make Montana's hospitality sector a high-water-use industry. Hotels and resort facilities see strong Smart Valve™ ROI.
Agricultural Processing & Manufacturing
Montana's food processing and agriculture-related manufacturing facilities have high water intensity. Smart Valve™ is especially effective in high-consumption industrial applications.
No State Water Recycling Programs
Unlike Western states with mandatory rebate programs, Montana commercial properties typically cannot access conservation rebates. Smart Valve™ is the most cost-effective standalone water cost reduction solution available.
