Netmore Group has partnered with UK engineering firm Detectronic to deploy a multi-year wastewater monitoring programme for Yorkshire Water. The project involves installing more than 90,000 sewer sensors across the region, including 65,000 Pressure Alarm (PAL) units and 27,000 LIDoTT Alarms over five years.
The sensors will connect via Netmore’s LoRaWAN network, which supports Yorkshire Water’s 1.3 million smart meter replacement programme. The network provides long-range, battery-operated connectivity, enabling real-time monitoring of residential gullies, shallow chambers, and sewer infrastructure. Data from the sensors will support environmental compliance, operational efficiency, and flood prevention initiatives.
Detectronic is supplying, installing, and maintaining all sensors throughout the five-year framework. The company is also expanding its operations in Yorkshire, creating new local roles to support the programme.
The initiative leverages Netmore’s advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) network, demonstrating the ability to repurpose a smart metering network for broader water management applications. The project reinforces both companies’ commitment to environmental stewardship, operational resilience, and the adoption of scalable, IoT-enabled infrastructure for utilities.
