ION turns water into a financial
advantage multiplier. Here’s how:
ION-documented water performance helps reduce water and sewer capacity impact fees at permitting, turning a compliance requirement into savings.
ION’s End-to-End Water Management System can expand LIHTC-eligible basis by qualifying as a capital improvement to, and integral component of, a property’s utility infrastructure. Higher NOI from reduced water expense supports higher valuation and debt capacity.
ION’s End-to-End Water Management System reduces water consumption by 50-60%, allowing underwriting at 45 gallons per bedroom per day (GBD) vs. the national average of 105 GBD. Lower, stabilized water use lowers monthly utility bills and operating costs on the P&L across the LIHTC compliance period.
Long-term lower water consumption generates stronger NOI, changing the story developers tell capital partners at refinance and exit. Water shifts from a line-item cost to a lever developers can actively build into deal strategy from day one.
Taken together, impact fee reductions, expanded eligible basis, and NOI uplift enhance the value of an asset throughout its lifecycle. That turns water management from an operating expense into a value-creating capital investment, strengthening the asset story at exit.
ION offers corporate sustainability partnerships and financing (with partners like Amazon and Meta) in certain geographic areas to fund all or part of the system at low or no upfront cost.
Controlled water use and cost ensures properties are better prepared and stabilized for a challenging climate future.
