Sewer level monitoring
A sewer level monitoring system that stops spills before they start
Field-ready radar sensors install in under 15 minutes, run for years on one battery, and detect blockages early. Trusted globally, built for US utilities.
Sewer Level Monitoring
Kallipr's sewer level monitoring system gives US utilities real-time visibility across their sewer network, so operators can detect blockages, manage overflows, and meet EPA reporting requirements.
Why sewer spills cost US utilities millions
Every sewer overflow is a costly emergency. In the US, utilities spend millions each year on clean-ups, fines, and reputational damage. Ageing infrastructure, inflow and infiltration, and unpredictable blockages make the risk worse.
- EPA consent decrees put pressure on utilities to cut SSOs
- Emergency call-outs drain budgets and staff hours
- Ageing infrastructure, infiltration, and unpredictable blockages make prevention harder than ever
A sewer monitoring system solves this.
A modern approach to sewer level monitoring
Kallipr offers a suite of level monitoring devices, including Spectra integrated radar, Captis S2 data loggers, and the Kallipr Radar Sensor, that give utilities reliable visibility into their sewer and wastewater networks. Designed for harsh underground environments, this sewer level monitoring system combines rugged hardware, advanced sensing, and built-in connectivity to deliver accurate data in real time.
Installs in minutes
Compact devices with radar, intelligence, and battery in one – no bulky multi-part setups.
Lasts years, not months
5 to 10 years of battery life (depending on transmission frequency) - our devices are field-ready, long-lasting, and designed to minimise costly truck rolls and ongoing maintenance.
Detects early, alerts instantly
Edge processing filters false alarms and prioritizes real threats.
Works anywhere
Reliable NB-IoT and Cat-M1 connectivity, proven even under concrete and water
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.
You can install this against the flow or with the flow. Two mounting bolts. Very simple. I have only good things to say.
This project definitely benefited our operations by letting us remotely monitor key data points and troubleshoot issues in our water management system
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.
From our projects
How sewer level monitoring works
Sewer spills risk big fines, public outrage and costly clean-ups. A sewer level monitoring system prevents them.
1. Install the hardware
Mount a Captis data logger with a radar or float sensor, or Spectra, an integrated radar, into the manhole or pit.
2. Data is transmitted
The device sends water level data over CAT-M1 or NB-IoT, using internal or external antennas for reliable signal in difficult locations.
3. See alerts & trends
View live alerts and historical trends in Kallipr Kloud, or integrate seamlessly with your existing SCADA or platform.
Managing CSOs and SSOs: Monitoring for Compliance and Prevention
Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) are among the most closely regulated challenges facing US utilities today. EPA consent decrees, NPDES permit obligations, and increasing public scrutiny mean that utilities need more than reactive responses — they need the data to demonstrate proactive management.
Kallipr’s non-contact radar sensors give utilities continuous, real-time visibility into sewer levels at the sites most at risk of overflow. By detecting rising levels and surcharge conditions before they reach overflow point, operators can intervene early, protect waterways, and build the data record needed to support regulatory reporting.
How Kallipr supports CSO and SSO management
- Early surcharge detection — monitor sewer levels continuously and receive alerts when levels approach critical thresholds, before overflow occurs
- CSO event documentation — capture timestamped level data that supports EPA reporting requirements and consent decree compliance
- SSO reduction — identify high-risk sites and blockage patterns across your sanitary sewer network to prioritise maintenance and reduce overflow frequency
- Remote visibility — monitor unmanned overflow structures, manholes, and lift stations without requiring site visits or confined space entry
- SCADA and platform integration — route level data and alerts directly into your existing control systems for seamless operational response
Whether you’re managing a consent decree, responding to an EPA audit, or building a proactive overflow reduction programme, Kallipr gives you the monitoring foundation to act on data rather than incidents.
