Metropolitan Utilities District raised Omaha commercial water rates significantly over the last two years. Nebraska faces Ogallala Aquifer depletion that's becoming a regulatory priority. Lincoln increased rates 7.5% in 2025. Smart Valve™ delivers guaranteed savings.
The Nebraska Water Situation
The Ogallala Aquifer supplies the majority of Nebraska's water. Over-pumping is causing water tables to drop in significant parts of the state, and regulators are beginning to take action — starting with rate increases.
Commercial properties in Nebraska 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 Nebraska — hotels, apartment complexes, car washes, hospitals, and golf courses — delivering verified water bill reductions averaging 27% annually.

Metropolitan Utilities District raised Omaha commercial water rates approximately 9% over the last two years. Lincoln increased 7.5% in 2025. Both utilities cite infrastructure aging and Ogallala Aquifer management costs.
The Ogallala Aquifer is being pumped faster than it recharges across Nebraska and the broader High Plains region. This long-term supply risk is driving state policy toward mandatory commercial conservation measures.
Nebraska is one of the nation's largest food processing states. Meat processing, ethanol, and food manufacturing facilities have extremely high water intensity — some of the strongest Smart Valve™ ROI scenarios in the country.
Omaha's healthcare sector (Nebraska Medicine, CHI Health, Children's Hospital) and university campuses are high water intensity institutional users. Smart Valve™ is proven in healthcare environments.
Nebraska has minimal Smart Valve™ market penetration. AWS has identified Nebraska as a significant first-mover opportunity — commercial properties here get the technology before it becomes common, locking in competitive advantage.
