797 Don Mills Road is a multi-unit residential apartment building in Toronto, Ontario. Like many mid- to high-rise buildings in Toronto, the property was subject to rising municipal water rates with no mechanism in place to reduce metered consumption. The building operates on a 4-inch valve size, with a benchmark monthly consumption of 2,802 m³.
The Canadian Water Savings Smart Valve™ was installed ahead of the October 2018 billing period. Results were tracked month over month against the established benchmark.

The program is structured so that Canadian Water Savings only earns revenue when the client saves money, making this a fully performance-based arrangement with no financial risk to the property owner.
