Smart Sewer Monitoring · UK
Stop reacting to sewer overflows.
Start preventing them.
AQUAIOT deploys 60GHz radar level sensors, secure telemetry, and an operations-grade cloud dashboard — so your team sees problems before they become incidents.

Your team finds out after the overflow.
We give you the data before it happens.
The difference
From reactive call-outs to proactive water management
Every sewer overflow starts as a trend. AQUAIOT makes those trends visible before they become incidents, complaints, or regulatory failures.
Reactive call-out
You find out after the spill
Real-time level data
Continuous radar sensing, 24/7
Threshold alerts
Automated before levels are critical
Audit trail
Exportable records, PR24/AMP8 ready
Three steps to visibility
How AQUAIOT sewer monitoring works
Designed for retrofit deployment on live assets — no pipe cuts, no shutdown required.
1
Deploy non-invasively
60GHz radar and ultrasonic sensors are installed on sewers, manholes, wet wells, rising mains, and vacuum sewer pots — without cutting into live pipework. ATEX-relevant options available for confined spaces.
2
Transmit securely
Encrypted data is transmitted via cellular or LoRaWAN telemetry — with multi-year battery life. Integration with RS485/Modbus and APIs connects directly to your SCADA, AIMS, or CAFM systems.
3
Act before incidents
Threshold alerts, anomaly detection, trendlines, and role-based dashboards give your operations team actionable intelligence — plus audit-ready records for regulatory reporting under PR24/AMP8 and Defra's Storm Overflows Plan.
What we monitor
Continuous insight across your drainage infrastructure
Four core monitoring capabilities — deployable as individual solutions or as a unified stack.
Radar Level Monitoring
60GHz non-contact radar sensing for tanks, sewers, rivers, drains, and flood-risk assets. Real-time visibility in safety-critical and ATEX-relevant environments — without entering confined spaces.
Sewer & CSO Monitoring
Continuous level monitoring across drains, wet wells, manholes, rising mains, and combined sewer overflow points. Detect blockages early, evidence overflow duration, and reduce pollution incidents with auditable telemetry.
Flood Prevention & Alerting
Automated early-warning for sites exposed to drainage stress, storm events, and overflow risk. Threshold-based alerts and trendline monitoring allow operational teams to act before flooding occurs.
Drain & Overflow Detection
Real-time level and anomaly monitoring across vacuum sewer pots, manholes, and wet wells. Detect abnormal patterns before escalation — with role-based dashboard access and exportable compliance records.

Technology deployed across UK water infrastructure
AQUAIOT technology is deployed across UK water infrastructure — in drainage deployments serving councils, utilities, housing providers, and estates teams where continuous monitoring prevents incidents before they escalate.
With PR24/AMP8 compliance obligations increasing and Defra's Storm Overflows Plan now in force, the organisations that act now will have the data, evidence, and audit trails that regulators require.

Frequently asked questions
Technical and commercial questions answered by the AQUAIOT team.
Radar level monitoring uses non-contact 60GHz radar sensors to continuously measure water levels inside sewers, manholes, and drainage assets. AQUAIOT's radar sensors transmit real-time data via cellular or LoRaWAN telemetry to a cloud dashboard — no physical contact with the wastewater required, and ATEX-relevant options are available for confined-space environments.
Sensors are deployed non-invasively on sewers, wet wells, rising mains, and manholes. Encrypted data is transmitted via cellular or LoRaWAN to a cloud platform. Operators receive threshold alerts, view trendlines and anomaly detection, and access audit-ready records — without reactive site visits or manual inspection.
Yes. AQUAIOT's 60GHz radar level sensors are available with ATEX-relevant options, making them suitable for deployment in confined spaces and potentially explosive atmospheres — such as sewer manholes and wet wells where methane and other gases may be present. Speak to the engineering team to discuss your site requirements.
AQUAIOT supports both cellular (4G/LTE) and LoRaWAN telemetry, with multi-year battery life on sensor units. All payloads are encrypted. On-site connectivity uses RS485/Modbus, and APIs are available for SCADA, AIMS, CAFM, and analytics platform integration. Over-the-air firmware and configuration updates are supported.
Ofwat's PR24/AMP8 determinations and Defra's Storm Overflows Plan significantly increase obligations around overflow monitoring and evidence. AQUAIOT provides continuous level data, anomaly detection, event duration records, and exportable audit trails that support reporting under these regulatory frameworks — including EDM (Event Duration Monitoring) requirements.
Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) monitoring tracks water levels and discharge events at overflow points where combined sewers release untreated flow into watercourses. Under UK regulation, continuous monitoring and overflow duration evidence is now required. AQUAIOT provides the sensors, telemetry, and cloud dashboards to meet this obligation and manage incidents faster.
