New York City Commercial Water Rates Increased 8.5% for FY2025. See What Smart Valve™ May Save.

The New York Water Situation
NYC Has Some of the Highest Commercial Water Costs in the Country
New York City DEP charges commercial properties for both water supply and sewer. Combined, these rates make NYC one of the most expensive commercial water markets in the US.
Commercial properties in New York 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.

NYC DEP +8.5% in FY2025
NYC DEP's FY2025 water and sewer rate schedule reflects an 8.5% increase. Confirm the applicable account class and current schedule directly with DEP; examples are illustrative.
Combined Water + Sewer Billing
Unlike most markets, NYC charges separately for water supply and sewer service — and sewer charges are based on your metered water consumption. Reducing your metered water usage with Smart Valve™ reduces both your water bill and your sewer bill simultaneously.
Commercial Building Conservation Requirements
Large commercial buildings in NYC face mandatory water conservation audits and benchmark reporting under Local Law requirements. Smart Valve™ M&V documentation satisfies these reporting requirements while reducing consumption.
Dense Urban Market — Maximum Savings Density
New York's commercial building density means Smart Valve™ is especially cost-effective — one installation covers an entire large commercial building's water supply, with savings that compound across both water and sewer charges.
High-Pressure Urban Distribution
NYC's water distribution system operates under significant pressure to serve high-rise buildings throughout the five boroughs. This elevated system pressure increases air entrapment — making Smart Valve™ particularly effective in the NYC market.
