Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Monitoring System

The Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Monitoring System is an IoT-based solution that provides real-time visibility across water distribution, storage, consumption, and wastewater collection infrastructure. It enables organisations, businesses and private clients to monitor water meters, tanks, wells, boreholes, sewer networks, and cesspits from a single cloud platform, with the flexibility to deploy individual applications, with few assets or expand into a fully integrated solution with thousands of assets over time.

Key capabilities include:

• Single platform for water and wastewater infrastructure

• Modular deployment with future expansion support

• Real-time monitoring with alerts and analytics

The solution supports monitoring of both connected and standalone water and wastewater assets across public, commercial, agricultural, and industrial environments. This includes sewer infrastructure, cesspits, water storage assets, transport tanks, and water meters of various sizes and technologies.

Supported asset types include:

• Sewer manholes and drainage networks

• Standalone cesspits (plastic, fibre, or concrete)

• Water tanks, wells, and boreholes

• Water and wastewater transport tanker tanks

• Water meters with pulse output

• Water–fertiliser mixture tanks

The solution is designed for any organisation that owns, operates, or manages water or wastewater assets and requires reliable, remote visibility to improve efficiency, safety, and operational planning.

Typical users include:

• Government and municipal water utilities

• Sewage and water transport operators

• Agricultural and irrigation operations

• Property developers and facility managers

• Hotels, resorts, and commercial buildings

Wastewater levels are monitored using non-contact radar-based IoT sensor designed specifically for harsh wastewater environments. The sensor is installed on the cesspit or manhole cover, or mounted internally where required, and continuously measures wastewater levels without being affected by moisture or dirt build up.

Monitoring advantages include:

• Non-contact sensing for high reliability

• Suitable for underground and confined spaces

• Accurate level measurements without fouling

By continuously measuring wastewater levels, the system detects abnormal rises, slow drainage, or developing blockages early. Configurable alarms and forecasting tools notify operators in advance, allowing planned intervention before overflows or flooding occur.

Overflow prevention features include:

• Early warning alerts before critical levels are reached

• Predictive insights based on level trends

• Multi-channel notifications (Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Phone)

• Optional SCADA and third-party system integration

Water storage assets are monitored using either radar or submersible IoT sensors, depending on the application. Continuous level measurement allows operators to understand available water volume and receive alerts when refilling or intervention is required.

Remote monitoring enables:

• Accurate visibility of available water reserves

• Early detection of abnormal refill or depletion

• Proactive planning of tanker deliveries or pumping

Smart water metering enables automatic, remote collection of water consumption data from meters with pulse output. Readings are transmitted securely to the cloud platform, eliminating manual meter reading and enabling automated billing and reporting.

Operational benefits include:

• Reduced labour and site visits

• Improved billing accuracy and timeliness

• Centralised consumption visibility

Yes. By analysing flow rate and usage patterns in real time, the system identifies continuous flow, unexpected consumption, or abnormal behaviour that typically indicates leaks or infrastructure issues.

Detection capabilities include:

• Continuous flow detection during low-usage periods

• Abnormal usage alerts based on time or volume thresholds

• Early identification of infrastructure failures

The solution supports multiple communication technologies to ensure reliable connectivity across diverse environments, while maintaining a unified data protocol regardless of the network used.

Supported technologies include:

• NB-IoT

• LoRaWAN

• Sigfox

• Wi-Fi

• 4G LTE Cat-1

Yes. The system is designed specifically for underground chambers, rural sites, and low-signal environments. External antenna options and private network gateways ensure reliable communication even where cellular coverage is limited, even with an external antenna and coaxial cable.

Coverage options include:

• External straight or angled, through-lid, and wall mount antenna configurations

• Optional LoRaWAN or Wi-Fi gateways where cellular coverage is not possible

Yes. The solution is fully retrofit and can be installed on existing infrastructure without interrupting normal operation. Sensors can be mounted on covers, walls, tanks, or existing ports, depending on asset type. Refer to our Public Wiki for different installation methods.

Installation highlights:

• No civil works or downtime required

• Compatible with metal, plastic, and fibre structures or existing ports

• Works with existing water meters with a pulse output

The platform supports configurable alerts for level thresholds, abnormal flow, overflow risk, and communication loss, with notifications delivered through multiple channels.

Alert options include:

• Email, SMS, WhatsApp, or phone notifications

• Threshold-based and rule-based alerts

• Automated reporting for large deployments

Yes. Historical data is stored according to client requirements and used for reporting, trend analysis, forecasting, and incident investigation.

Historical data supports:

• Automated weekly and monthly reports

• Trend and anomaly analysis

• Audit trails and fault investigation

Yes. The system is built on a scalable IoT architecture that supports anything from small private deployments to large municipal or national infrastructures. Integration with SCADA and third-party platforms is supported via documented APIs.

Integration features include:

• REST API access for third-party systems

• Custom connectors where required
