How IoT Sensors Are Stopping Sewer Overflows Before They Flood Streets

Internet of Things with Fexingo: Connected Devices, Sensors, and Industrial IoT · Jul 5, 2026 · 8m · transcript

Lucas and Luna dive into the quiet revolution happening beneath our feet: IoT sensors that predict and prevent sanitary sewer overflows. The episode focuses on a pilot program in South Bend, Indiana, which used water level sensors and predictive algorithms to cut overflow volumes by over 70 percent. They walk through how the technology works — from monitoring pipe flow in real time to adjusting pump station operations automatically — and why this approach is gaining traction from Kansas City to Singapore. The conversation also touches on the broader implications for aging water infrastructure…
