WV American Water: $3.97/Month in 2025, $1.94/Month in 2026
West Virginia American Water has committed to a two-year rate increase schedule: $3.97 per month in 2025, followed by $1.94 per month in 2026. This scheduled commitment provides commercial customers with certainty about upcoming cost increases — making now the ideal time to lock in consumption savings before both hikes take full effect.
West Virginia's Infrastructure Investment Backlog
West Virginia's water infrastructure has significant deferred maintenance needs. The state's geography — mountainous terrain with dispersed communities — makes water infrastructure particularly expensive to maintain and upgrade. These costs are passed to commercial customers through rate increases that will continue as the backlog is addressed.
Energy and Industrial Sector — High-Volume Commercial Users
West Virginia's energy and industrial sectors are significant commercial water users. For facilities in energy extraction, manufacturing, and industrial processing, high monthly water consumption means that Smart Valve™'s guaranteed 15–35% annual reduction translates to substantial absolute dollar savings.
