Sewer Flow Monitoring

Monitor sewer and wastewater flow across your US network

Non-contact flow sensors give US utilities accurate, real-time flow data across sewer networks, supporting capacity management, I&I detection, CSO compliance, and inter-agency flow measurement.

How flow monitoring works

Get accurate, real-time flow data from the field to your screen without invasive installs or complex setup.

1. Install the hardware

Fit a Captis device with a flow sensor (ultrasonic, magflow, or other) in your desired location - inline, clamp-on, or downstream. Add level or pressure sensors for a complete picture of what's happening in the pit.

2. Data is transmitted

Flow rate and volume data is sent via CAT-M1 or NB-IoT, with options for internal or external antennas to maintain strong signal in harsh environments.

3. See alerts & trends

Access data, alerts, and long-term trends in Kallipr Kloud, or integrate into your SCADA, billing, or analytics platform.

What our customers say

The Kallipr devices were installed in a fraction of the time we expected, and the long battery life and low servicing needs mean lower total cost of ownership for the city over the years ahead.

Wastewater Superintendent City of Bellevue

You can install this against the flow or with the flow. Two mounting bolts. Very simple. I have only good things to say.

Wastewater Collections Supervisor Frederick County

We’re getting real insight into how our network behaves in the field, not just in models. It’s helping us respond faster, target our investment, and give our teams the clarity they need to act.

Sewer flow monitoring for CSO and SSO compliance

Managing combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) requires more than level data alone. Flow measurement at key points in your network gives utilities the volume and velocity data needed to quantify overflow events, model system capacity under storm conditions, and build the regulatory record required for EPA consent decree compliance.

Kallipr’s non-contact flow sensors install in open channel sewer structures without confined space entry,  measuring flow continuously at manholes, overflow weirs, and pump station inlets to give operators a complete picture of how their network is behaving under load.

How Kallipr supports CSO and SSO flow monitoring

  • Overflow quantification – measure flow volumes at CSO and SSO discharge points to support EPA reporting and consent decree documentation
  • I&I flow detection – identify catchments where stormwater infiltration is elevating wet-weather flows above dry-weather baselines
  • Capacity monitoring – track flows at network boundaries and pump stations to identify where capacity is consistently being approached or exceeded
  • Inter-agency flow measurement – accurately meter flows between collection and treatment utilities to support contracts and resolve volume disputes
  • SCADA integration – route flow data and alerts directly into your existing control systems for real-time operational response

FAQs

Got questions about installation, connectivity, or sensor compatibility? We’ve answered the most common ones below to help you get started quickly and confidently.
Yes. Kallipr's non-contact flow sensors can be deployed at pump stations, sewer boundaries, and treatment plant inlets to accurately measure flows between collection and treatment utilities. This supports inter-agency agreements, capacity planning, and volume reconciliation between parties.
Flow measurement at CSO and SSO discharge points gives utilities the volume data needed for EPA reporting and consent decree documentation. By monitoring flow continuously rather than relying on estimates, operators can accurately quantify overflow events, demonstrate proactive management, and build the data record required for regulatory submissions.
Flow monitoring gives you real-time data on how water is moving through your network, whether it's stormwater, wastewater, or supply lines. It helps identify leaks, detect blockages, track consumption, and manage capacity during peak events. Add level or pressure sensors for a complete picture of what’s happening in the pit, so you can make faster, more informed decisions with fewer site visits.
Kallipr devices use market-leading technology to connect via low-power wide-area network technologies (CAT-M1 or NB-IoT) networks globally. Transmission and measurement intervals are fully configurable, letting you balance data accuracy, frequency, and latency with battery life. All data is encrypted, with built-in security features that ensure end-to-end integrity - from device to cloud to the way you use it.
With near real-time alerts from Captis and Spectra devices, utilities can pro-actively prevent blockages and overflows - avoiding costly emergency callouts, regulatory fines, and infrastructure damage, leading to significant long-term savings.
Installation can be as quick as 10 minutes, and does not require confined space entry for many sites. The ease of install minimises disruption to operations and significantly reduces the cost of deployment.
Where data also needs to be sent to additional systems, Kallipr hardware supports multiple endpoint configuration, which is widely used by utilities to route data or alarms directly to SCADA or analytics environments.
Yes, the patent-pending battery technology allows for quick, tool-free battery replacement. It can be done in under 30 seconds and ensures your operations are back up and running as quickly as possible.
