America's sewer membership network

Stop studying your sewer system.Start fixing it.

Smart Sewers OS is a membership platform for connecting, understanding, and maintaining America's collection and storm sewer systems. Membership means:

  • Beat I&I, the big one. Smart sensors and AI pinpoint where rainwater is eating your capacity, in one storm instead of years of study.
  • Break out of the silo. Know who's working around you, from the crew televising mains next door to the manhole rehab job across the street, and pull from shared resources when an emergency hits.
  • Buy together, save together. Neighboring systems buy the same supplies and services. Members can pool that purchasing power, on products, equipment, and service contracts.
  • One operating system for your data. Maps, records, sensor feeds, and your neighbors' hard-won lessons in one place, so every project starts further ahead.

What membership provides

Find it. Fund it. Fix it. Monitor it.

Four jobs, one workspace. Your GIS, your sensor data, your projects, and your partners all working the same record, so finding, funding, and fixing moves faster for every member.

Find

One storm shows you where the water gets in.

Smart water-level sensors watch each basin. The AI reads the wet-weather response and ranks where I&I is entering. No system-wide digging, no guesswork.

Fund

Turn findings into funded projects.

Evidence, maps, and cost impact in one defensible package. What a council vote, a grant application, or a rate study actually needs.

Fix

Send crews where the data points.

Cleaning, CCTV, smoke and dye testing, rehab. Scoped to the manholes and lines that matter, with your contractors working the same project.

Monitor

Prove it worked. Keep watching.

The same sensors verify the repair actually dropped the flow, and stay on duty for the next storm.

What I&I really costs

Rainwater in the sewer is a treatment cost, an overflow risk, and a public-health problem.

Every gallon of rain and groundwater that leaks into the collection system gets pumped, lifted, and treated like sewage. Then a storm arrives that the system can't hold.

RAIN

You're paying to treat rainwater.

In older systems, up to half of total flow is clean water that never needed treatment. That is operating budget spent moving and processing water that should never have entered the pipe.

SSO

Overflows are the expensive kind of proof.

When wet-weather flow exceeds capacity, raw sewage surfaces in basements, streets, and streams. Cleanup, fines, consent decrees, and plant expansions follow, measured in the millions.

HOME

The impact lands on people downstream.

Backed-up basements, contaminated creeks, and closed waterways hit hardest in the small and mid-sized communities least able to absorb the cost.

Why this matters
How it works

Evidence to action in three practical steps.

01

Bring the evidence together

Organize GIS, inspections, field observations, engineering documents, and project stakeholders around one sewer project.

02

Find the decision that matters

Use evidence-grounded AI to surface likely problem areas, data gaps, conflicts, and the next defensible action.

03

Move from finding to field work

Align utilities, contractors, suppliers, and engineers around procurement readiness, execution, and verified results.

Choose your path

One sewer platform. Three ways to participate.

01

For utilities

Membership is free. It brings the platform, the vetted partner network, and the one-basin pilot.
