The New England Water Environmental Association (NEWEA) published this insightful article in the Fall issue: Big Data and Smart Sewers – Is the Technology Ready? Is the Industry Ready? Are You Ready?
By providing a deep dive into the future of wastewater collection, the NEWEA article offers a comprehensive view from concept to application and a roadmap for decision makers.
Some of the key topics include:
- Improvement through Insight
- Maintenance-Free Sensors
- Uninterrupted Sensor Communication
- Low-Power, Sustainable Power Sources
- Leveraging AI for Learning Conditions and Responses
- Costs and People Factors
In summary, the article explains how, “As we increase our reliance on automation, data-driven decisions, and AI, we will move toward a world of zero overflows and clean waters, a Sci-Fi dream that will become tomorrow’s reality.”

[…] The New England Water Environment Association (NEWEA) Journal recently published an article about smart sewer technology, co-authored by our ADS colleagues Mike Bonomo and Kevin Enfinger. The article outlines how data from smart sensors positioned throughout a sewer system, analyzed by a machine learning algorithm, can detect an emerging blockage before it grows to become a problem. This allows maintenance crews to remove the blockage before any harm is done. Learn more. […]
