How IoT Sensors Prevent Urban Water Main Breaks
Every year, US cities lose an estimated 2.1 trillion gallons of treated water through leaks and main breaks—enough to fill Lake Mead. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how a new generation of IoT sensors is quietly transforming water infrastructure. They focus on the case of Atlanta, which deployed a network of acoustic and pressure sensors across 2,200 miles of aging cast-iron pipes. The results: a 40 percent reduction in emergency water main repairs over two years. Lucas explains how the sensors detect the specific sound frequency of a pinhole leak long before the pipe bursts, and how…
