The Rising Tide of Water Costs

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), water and wastewater bills have been increasing by 5-10% annually in many regions. Factors driving these increases include:

Factors Contributing to Rising Water Costs

Aging Infrastructure

Much of the water delivery system in the U.S. is over 50 years old and in need of costly repairs. This aging infrastructure leads to inefficiencies and increased maintenance costs.

Climate Change

Droughts, floods, and shifting weather patterns disrupt supply and increase treatment costs. As climate change continues to impact water availability, businesses must adapt to these challenges.

Urbanization

Growing urban populations increase demand on finite water resources. More people mean more consumption, which drives up costs.

Regulatory Pressures

Utilities face stricter water quality regulations, which often translate into higher consumer costs. Compliance with these regulations can be costly for businesses.

These dynamics make water efficiency not only a sustainability goal but a financial necessity.

The FluidLytix Solution: Wave Valve Technology

The FluidLytix WAVE Valve is a patented pressure-management solution designed to help commercial facilities reduce water usage and costs—without replacing fixtures or changing day-to-day operations.

How It Works

The WAVE Valve is installed directly onto a building's main water line. Once installed, it:

• Compresses the air in the water: As water flows through the meter, the valve reduces excess pressure. By regulating pressure spikes, the valve prevents over-delivery and waste.

  
  

• Eliminates entrained air: Many water systems carry air that gets measured by water meters as if it were water. The WAVE Valve smooths flow and minimizes air volume, ensuring businesses pay only for actual water.

  
  

• Lowers consumption: With reduced pressure and air, overall water costs drop—typically by 20% to 30%.

  
  

Proven Results

In real-world installations across the U.S. and Latin America, businesses have reported immediate savings:

• A restaurant in Florida reduced its monthly water bill by 27% with a 29-minute installation.

  
  

• A hotel in Miami saw a 20.7% decrease in water usage without any impact on guest experience.

  
  

• Power generation facilities report 37.5% and 17.9% savings by installing FluidLytix valves in two locations.

  
  

The Business Case for Action

Water efficiency delivers a rapid ROI. Most FluidLytix customers see full payback within 12–18 months. In drought-prone states like California, Texas, and Arizona, installing water efficiency technology also helps businesses remain compliant with local conservation mandates.

In addition to cost savings, reducing water waste strengthens corporate sustainability goals, enhances ESG metrics, and protects a vital resource for future generations.

Taking Control of Water Usage

With water rates continuing to rise, businesses must take control of their water usage. FluidLytix provides a fast, affordable, and proven way to do just that. By installing a WAVE Valve, companies can reduce costs, conserve water, and future-proof their operations.
