The Smart Sewers partner network

The ecosystem behind every basin we save.

Smart Sewers is too important to build alone. We partner with the contractors who deploy sensors, the suppliers who manufacture the hardware, and the engineers who turn the data into capital plans. Together we serve the utilities that serve the communities downstream.

How the ecosystem works

Find. Fix. Monitor.

Every member of the network plays a role in one of three jobs — finding I&I, fixing the defects that drive it, or monitoring the system so problems get caught before they cost millions.

Suppliers

Build the hardware

iTracker level sensors, smart manhole monitors, panoramic cameras, and the connectivity stack underneath.

Contractors

Find the leaks

Deploy sensors, run smoke and dye testing, perform CCTV inspections, code defects to NASSCO PACP / MACP.

Engineers

Turn data into decisions

Run hydraulic models, prioritize rehab, write the council memo, defend the capital plan.

Utilities

Fix & monitor

Award rehabilitation work, deploy continuous monitoring, track overflow rate down — basin by basin.

Four partner tracks

Pick the track that fits your business.

Each track has four tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum — modeled on the partner ecosystems that scaled GIS, BIM, and SCADA across thousands of cities. Move up the tiers as you serve more basins, train more staff, and contribute more case studies.

Track 01

Suppliers

Sensor manufacturers, hardware OEMs, IoT platforms, manhole-camera vendors, AI-defect-coding tools, and connectivity providers building the physical & data layer Smart Sewers runs on.

Apply as a supplier
Track 02

Contractors

Field service firms doing CCTV, smoke testing, dye flooding, manhole inspections, sensor deployment, and PACP / MACP coding. The crews who turn pipe into data.

Apply as a contractor
Track 03

Engineers

Civil engineering & consulting firms running hydraulic modeling, rehab prioritization, CMOM/CSAP programs, and capital plans. The team that turns findings into funded projects.

Apply as an engineer
Track 04

Sales reps & business developers

Independent reps with trusted utility relationships can help Smart Sewers reach communities that need better answers. Bring local coverage, council-aware selling, and practical follow-through; we will refine commission, territory, and coverage details in a follow-up.

For utilities & municipalities

Cities don't pay to be partners. They become members.

Member Utilities is the track for the cities, towns, sewer districts, and authorities running the systems we exist to protect. Different incentives. Different commitments. Same mission.

Member Utilities

Membership is free.
The benefits aren't.

If your community runs a sanitary sewer collection system, membership is open. We don't charge utilities to participate. We share data, benchmarks, and best practices because that's how the entire program gets better.

Members shape how the partner network serves them — including which contractors get routed work, what training matters, and how Smart Sewers evolves to fit municipal procurement reality.

Become a member utility
01

Free benchmarking against peer utilities

Anonymized I&I rates, overflow frequency, and capital efficiency, compared to systems your size in your region.

02

Vetted partner directory

Find Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum partners by service, region, and certified specialty — without sitting through ten sales calls.

03

Quarterly Founding Utilities Committee

Direct input on the platform, the partner standards, and the rehabilitation playbooks shared across the network.

04

Co-authored case studies under your name

If your basin shows real results, your utility's name goes on the case study — not buried in someone else's marketing.

05

Pilot program with no-result, no-pay terms

Members get the standard pilot offer: one basin, one rain event, defensible data — or you don't pay. No fine print.
