New York City Commercial Water Rates Increased 8% in 2025 — With More Planned. Smart Valve™ Cuts Your Bill 15%–35% annually.
NYC DEP increased commercial water and sewer rates by 8% for FY2025 and has proposed further annual increases through 2028. NY has mandatory Commercial Building Water Conservation requirements for large properties. Smart Valve™ is fully compliant and delivers guaranteed savings.
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 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 New York — hotels, apartment complexes, car washes, hospitals, and golf courses — delivering verified water bill reductions averaging 27% annually.

NYC DEP +8% in FY2025
NYC DEP increased water and sewer rates by 8% for fiscal year 2025. For a commercial property spending $20,000/month, that's $1,600 in additional monthly cost — before any rate changes planned for 2026–2028.
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.
