Kallipr

What does it actually take to roll out a sewer monitoring project across a city the size of Auckland? With thousands of pits and pipes, one overflow can mean wastewater straight into the ocean. That’s why Watercare are using Kallipr Spectra sensors to: • Detect blockages before they cause spills • Install in around 30 minutes without confined space entry • Act faster with real-time data and alerts • Understand how their network’s ageing over time Hear from the teams making it happen – and see how proactive monitoring is changing the game for Watercare.

Singleton Council have recently installed sewer level monitors across their network to reduce costly overflows. Real-time data showing levels help the council detect blockages early and proactively manage the network, while also getting a picture of how their network is operating and ageing. With 15 min install and no confined space entry, the Spectra solution is cost-effective and easy to scale.

When Shoalhaven Council and the SES identified one of the region’s highest-risk flood locations, they knew a reliable, self-sufficient monitoring solution was needed. Even with no mobile signal and the road already underwater, the new system went in. Now, real-time data feeds directly into emergency response systems through the NSW Government’s NHDS program, improving how councils detect and warn communities about floods.

Flood monitors can’t stop a storm, but they can tell you when trouble’s coming. By feeding back near real-time level data, they show exactly when creeks are rising, drains are backing up and roads are about to go under. That means faster warnings, smarter decisions and better protection for your community. Watch how flood monitoring is helping councils act before it’s too late.

Nothing to see here...until the pump stops working. Tucked neatly inside this cabinet is a Captis S2, connected to two sensors that do one simple but powerful thing - tell you if the pump is working or not. Sounds basic? It is. And it works. For the customer, it means knowing the moment something goes wrong, cutting out unnecessary site visits and keeping ops running without the stress of unplanned downtime. The same set up could be expanded to monitor motor temperature, vibration, even power usage. From basic status checks to full asset condition monitoring, it's all possible with the same platform. A future-proofed way to monitor pump performance, without overcomplicating it. Genius!

Sewer spills don't make good TV. But preventing them does. Last night, our work with Watercare Services Limited was featured on 1NewsNZ, showing how 5,000 of our sewer level monitors are helping detect blockages before they turn into overflows. Installed by the team at Citycare Water, these devices give early warning of blockages so crews can act before spills hit the environment or community. Our very own Gerhard Loots explains how this new radar technology is changing network monitoring for utilities. Watch the clip to see how Watercare is rolling this out across Auckland.
