Industrial IoT for Water Utilities
LoRaWAN sensors, gateways and dashboards for Water utilities — specified, stocked and supported by UK engineers.
Industrial IoT for Water Utilities replaces manual rounds, spreadsheets and blind spots with live LoRaWAN telemetry: low-power sensors, resilient gateways and dashboards that flag a problem the hour it happens, not the week after. Indiott specifies, stocks and supports the full stack and ships across the UK from local warehouses.
England and Wales are served by regional water and sewerage companies under economic regulator Ofwat, and the sector has just entered AMP8, its 2025 to 2030 investment cycle, with a record capital programme. Public and regulatory pressure on storm overflows, leakage and drinking-water resilience makes remote monitoring central to how utilities evidence performance. LoRaWAN telemetry reaches the buried, rural and unpowered assets that traditional SCADA never economically covered.
Industrial IoT for Water Utilities: sensors, gateways and dashboards
Built for Network and asset managers, Environmental compliance leads, Wastewater and treatment engineers and Capital delivery and AMP8 programme teams. Every asset that fails quietly — a pump, a chiller, a cold store, a plant room — is a candidate for a battery LoRaWAN sensor reporting to one dashboard. Typical Industrial IoT for Water Utilities deployments include:
- Level sensors on combined sewer overflows and culverts flag spill risk early
- Network pressure and flow monitoring to locate leakage and bursts
- Groundwater, borehole and reservoir level telemetry to remote unpowered sites
- Turbidity and quality sensing at treatment inlets and outfalls
- Pumping station running-hours and vibration monitoring for asset health
- Watercourse flood-warning level nodes feeding a live operations dashboard
LoRaWAN sensors and gateways for Water utilities
The Industrial IoT for Water Utilities hardware below is UK-stocked and dispatched nationwide. Every device joins the same five-layer stack, so you can start with one gateway and a handful of sensors and scale without re-platforming.
EM500Outdoor environmental sensorRugged EM500 series for outdoor CO2, level, pressure and soil measurement.
TS101Insertion temperature sensorLoRaWAN insertion probe for pipe, tank and process temperature.
EM300Leak / contact / T+RH sensorCompact EM300 series for door, leak, temperature and humidity monitoring.
UG67Outdoor LoRaWAN gatewayIP67 outdoor gateway for site-wide coverage across yards, plants and campuses.
UR35Industrial cellular routerDual-SIM 4G/5G router for resilient connectivity at remote and mobile sites.
UG65Semi-industrial LoRaWAN gateway8-channel indoor gateway backhauling hundreds of LoRaWAN sensors over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular.
Compliance and drivers in Water utilities
Ofwat sets prices through the PR24 price review that runs the AMP8 period from 2025 to 2030, tying investment to measurable outcomes. The Environment Agency regulates discharges under the Environmental Permitting Regulations and publishes Event Duration Monitoring returns on storm overflows, while the Drinking Water Inspectorate oversees supply quality. Where flow or water-quality measurement must be certified, MCERTS governs the approved instruments.
Indiott builds the monitoring and evidence layer around those duties: continuous data, threshold alarms that reach the duty engineer by SMS, and timestamped records you can hand to an auditor. Useful references: Environment Agency secures record commitments from water sector (GOV.UK) Environment Agency storm overflow spill data for 2024 (GOV.UK).

Why Water utilities teams choose Indiott
Here is why water utilities operators pick Indiott as their Industrial IoT for Water Utilities partner rather than a generic reseller.
UK stock, UK delivery
Milesight, Atop and AquaIoT hardware supplied from the UK, typically dispatched within 14 working days nationwide.
Engineer-led, not box-shifting
An engineer scopes every enquiry and returns a costed bill of materials within one working day.
One stack, many brands
Interoperable sense, connect, secure, control and manage layers, so you are never locked to a single vendor.
Bespoke when off-the-shelf ends
When the device you need does not exist, we design and build it — firmware, enclosure and integration.
Industrial IoT for Water Utilities: frequently asked questions
Can LoRaWAN reach buried chambers and rural sites with no power or SCADA?
Yes. Battery LoRaWAN nodes run for years and one gateway covers several kilometres, so we monitor overflows, culverts and remote reservoirs without a mains supply or cabling.
Will the monitoring meet regulatory and MCERTS expectations?
We specify sensors to suit the duty, and where certified flow or quality measurement is required we pair LoRaWAN telemetry with MCERTS-compliant instruments rather than claiming the radio itself is certified.
How does this help with storm overflow and leakage reporting?
Level, flow and pressure data lands in a live dashboard with alerts, so you spot spills and losses early and export the records the Environment Agency and Ofwat expect.
