Sewer Monitoring Turns to AI

The vast networks of buried water, wastewater and storm water infrastructure are the veins and arteries feeding our people, our cities and protecting our environment. Without sustainable and viable water, waste and storm water solutions, our quality of life is in peril. Society's water, wastewater and storm water systems have played significant roles in eliminating disease, the safeguarding the environment and protecting communities. Thanks to substantial post-depression and post-World War II investments, most in the U.S. have grown up without the need to give this infrastructure a second thought. We open the taps and a clean, safe and seemingly unlimited supply of water is available to us; our waste is whisked away, treated and returned to the environment; and storm events rarely interrupt our daily lives.
