Utah Is the Second-Driest State in America — And Salt Lake City Is Running Out of Water
Great Salt Lake has reached historic lows, threatening air quality and municipal water supply. Salt Lake City raised commercial rates 8% in 2025. Utah has the highest per-capita water consumption in the US — commercial properties are under regulatory and cost pressure from both directions. Smart Valve™ delivers AWS reports average savings just above 22% across its North American projects. Individual results vary. annually savings.
The Utah Water Situation
Utah's Water Crisis Is Structural — Not Seasonal
The Great Salt Lake has been shrinking for decades. Utah has the highest per-capita water consumption in the US. Regulators are tightening commercial water use requirements. Rate increases are accelerating.
Commercial properties in Utah 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.

Great Salt Lake — Historic Low Levels
The Great Salt Lake has reached historic low water levels, threatening air quality, wildlife habitat, and long-term water supply for the Wasatch Front. This is an environmental crisis with direct regulatory consequences for commercial water users.
Salt Lake City +8% in 2025
Salt Lake City raised commercial water rates 8% in 2025. Provo, Ogden, and other Wasatch Front utilities have implemented comparable increases to fund conservation programs and infrastructure.
Highest Per-Capita Consumption in US
Utah has the highest per-capita water consumption in the United States. State regulators have publicly set mandatory reduction targets for commercial properties. Properties that act early avoid mandatory conservation orders.
Mountain West Pressure Surges
Like Colorado, Utah's mountain-fed municipal systems experience significant elevation-driven pressure changes. These pressure surges increase air entrapment in commercial supply lines — making Smart Valve™ especially effective in the Wasatch Front market.
