Join the revolution in smart sewers
Monitor and control low pressure sewer networks remotely, in near-real time.
Purpose built, OneBox® supports operators to minimise inflow and infiltration, reduce pressure on network assets, minimise spill risk and improve the customer experience.
Reduce pressure on downstream assets and achieve capital and operational savings through dynamic management of peak flows
Minimise spill risk with remote control of individual units, and gain visibility minute to minute, at both network and premise level
Pre-empt spills before customers are even aware of the problem
Slow or shut-down pumps in the event of a power failure, and implement a managed recovery afterwards.
Peak smoothing lowers the risk of spills remotely and helps control peak flows within a network, reducing the need for capacity and optimising the long-term operation of existing infrastructure.
Limits peak design flows and provides confidence on impact on downstream infrastructure.
Remotely increase wastewater velocity in the network, allowing self-cleaning.
Generates self-cleansing velocity with minimal connections to avoid operational issues at early connections stage.

Introduction Iota’s unique OneBox® pressure sewer algorithm, proactively and centrally manages the entire network, to limit peak flows to a predetermined operator selected limit. Targeting
The South East Water Mornington Peninsula low-pressure sewer system is designed with technology to control and smooth peak flow.
Because many homes in Melbourne were built before sewerage was available, many properties in the outer northern and eastern suburbs are still using septic tank systems.
Residents in many rural areas in Ireland, like many other countries, rely on individual septic tank systems to provide treatment of wastewater.
The Peninsula ECO project in Melbourne’s south east commenced in 2015 and is expected to take a little over a decade to remove and replace around 16,500 septic systems (many of which are failing) between popular seaside havens Rye and Portsea. They’re being replaced with a low-pressure sewer system controlled by the Iota OneBox®.
Inflow & Infiltration (I&I) is a common problem within all sewer networks.
According to UN Water, more than 4.2 billion people in the world live without modern sanitation. Without safe collection, storage and treatment of wastewater, billions of people end up using contaminated drinking water sources, and are at a much higher risk of contracting avoidable infections and diseases. This particularly impacts child mortality rates in the developing world.
It’s hard to believe that two billion people around the world live without basic sanitation. On top of that, 80% of the world’s wastewater generated by communities flows back into the ecosystem without being treated, which has a huge impact on public health and the environment around these communities.
The Dandenong Ranges are synonymous with picturesque, leafy landscapes where locals and visitors alike enjoy beautiful gardens, farm-gate produce and treetop walks.
Iota Services has partnered with Christchurch City Council to deliver smart pressure sewer systems controlled by the OneBox® solution.
Australia is renowned for its beautiful beaches, and Iota and South East Water are working to make them even cleaner.
When South Gippsland Water wanted to connect 445 regional properties to its mains sewer network, it knew it couldn’t take a traditional approach.
The creation of green suburban developments in a continent as dry as Australia is a challenge, but one that South East Water is eager to tackle.
Iota proudly acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live, and pay respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge their songlines, cultural lore and continuing connection to the land and water. We recognise and value the rich cultural heritage and ongoing contributions of Aboriginal people and communities to our society across Australia.
