Ofwat's PR24 Final Determination approved average bill increases of 21–47% over 5 years for major UK water companies. Thames Water, Severn Trent, United Utilities, and Southern Water are all raising commercial rates significantly. Smart Valve™ and CWS deliver guaranteed 15%–35% annually savings.
The United Kingdom Water Situation
The UK water industry is entering a period of unprecedented rate increases. Ofwat's Final Determination for the 2025–2030 regulatory period approved significant bill increases across all major water companies — commercial customers bear the majority of this cost.
Commercial properties in United Kingdom 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 United Kingdom — hotels, apartment complexes, car washes, hospitals, and golf courses — delivering verified water bill reductions averaging 27% annually.

Thames Water, serving London and the Thames Valley, has been approved for a 21% cumulative increase by 2030. Combined with sewer charges, London commercial property owners face significant compounding cost increases through the end of the decade.
United Utilities in the North West received approval for a 47% cumulative increase — the largest in the PR24 review. Manchester, Liverpool, and surrounding commercial properties face some of the steepest rate trajectories in the UK.
