What Redmond posted
Source-reported facts: Redmond states Novelty Hill commercial customers are billed monthly and receive fixed monthly rates plus commodity rates for water, irrigation, and wastewater.
The 2026 commercial and multi-family water table lists fixed monthly charges by meter size and water commodity charges that differ by season: winter from November 1 through May 31 and summer from June 1 through October 31.
Who may be affected
The most exposed accounts are Novelty Hill commercial and multi-family properties with high summer use, irrigation meters, restaurants, hotels, schools, offices, campuses, healthcare properties, and multifamily buildings with large meters.
The 2026 fixed water charge is $204.49 for a 2-inch meter, $394.68 for a 3-inch meter, $609.18 for a 4-inch meter, and $1,201.21 for a 6-inch meter, before commodity water or wastewater charges.
Why wastewater and seasonality matter
Commercial and multi-family water commodity charges are $4.71 per 100 cubic feet in winter and $6.82 in summer. Irrigation water is much higher at $17.98 per 100 cubic feet, which makes landscaping and separate-meter review important.
Redmond wastewater includes a $56.91 fixed monthly rate per meter with the first 600 cubic feet of chargeable wastewater, then $6.01 per 100 cubic feet. King County wastewater treatment adds a $63.29 fixed charge with the first 750 cubic feet, then $8.439 per 100 cubic feet.
What a 20 percent usage reduction could mean
Directional estimate: assume 300 billable 100-cubic-foot units per month after the wastewater thresholds and no irrigation. Winter water plus Redmond wastewater plus King County treatment is $19.159 per 100 cubic feet; summer water raises that combined rate to $21.269.
A 20 percent reduction equals 60 units. That is about $1,149.54 per month at the winter combined variable rate or $1,276.14 at the summer combined variable rate, before fixed charges, threshold effects, irrigation, meter size, site conditions, and installation feasibility.
What to check first on your bill
Confirm Novelty Hill service, meter size, winter versus summer billing period, water commodity usage, irrigation meter status, Redmond wastewater volume, King County treatment volume, and threshold treatment for the first 600 or 750 cubic feet.
If summer bills are the problem, isolate irrigation and seasonal water use before assuming the same intervention works year-round. If wastewater dominates, confirm whether the usage is chargeable wastewater or exempt/separate-metered volume.
Where Smart Valve fits
Smart Valve may be relevant where a Redmond commercial property has meaningful domestic metered water volume and technical feasibility. It cannot reduce fixed meter charges, irrigation fixed charges, threshold-included amounts, or non-usage fees.
For Novelty Hill accounts, the assessment should separately model winter water, summer water, irrigation, Redmond wastewater, and King County treatment before applying any usage-reduction estimate.
What to Do Next
Separate winter, summer, irrigation, Redmond wastewater, and King County treatment lines.
Confirm whether irrigation is billed through a water-only or exempt meter.
Model large meters separately because fixed monthly charges can be substantial.
