Know your levels. Prevent spills.
Level Lotic is a third-generation sewer level monitoring solution that combines cutting-edge radar technology, advanced connectivity and long-life performance to deliver precise, reliable data, helping utilities to prevent sewer spills, optimise operations and safeguard communities.
Early, reliable insight to prevent overflows.
Level Lotic provides early visibility of rising sewer levels and developing blockages, enabling utilities to intervene before overflows impact communities and the environment.
Long-term cost-effective operations.
A 10-year design life, even when transmitting data at higher transmission rates, Level Lotic helps avoid mid-life battery and device replacements supporting a sustainable and cost-effective sewer monitoring solution, over the long term.
Confidence in real-world conditions.
Purpose-built for harsh sewer environments and with an optimised antenna, Level Lotic delivers dependable monitoring across challenging network conditions.
Advanced radar technology, through a patented lens design, delivers reliable sewer insights with accuracy to 0.05%, across a 10-metre range, even in challenging conditions. Designed to avoid obstructions and interference, it provides automated alarms and precise measurements operators can trust.
Long-life, set-and-forget operation. A 10-year design life, even when transmitting data at higher transmission rates. Developed with operators, Level Lotic supports a true-set-and-forget sewer level monitoring solution.
Reliable connectivity. An optimised internal antenna supports dependable performance in low-coverage environments commonly experienced across sewer networks. Install in less than 30 minutes.
Stronger whole-of-life economics. Level Lotic strengthens the business case for smart sewer level monitoring by reducing whole-of-life costs through fewer truck rolls, avoidance of mid-life battery and device replacements, while delivering reliable accurate data at scale.
Durable, maintenance-friendly design. A compact, fully potted and sealed unit is easily mounted using an innovative bracket design that allows easy device removal and realignment without requiring recommissioning.

Sotto® is a key innovation in South East Water’s (SEW) critical work to reduce non-revenue water losses due to hidden leaks on SEW’s network.
Scalable NRW solutions were discussed at a recent webinar hosted by Iota Services CEO, Daniel Sullivan together with David Maclean, VP Australia & New Zealand and South East Asia at Landis+Gyr, and Andrew Forster Knight, General Manager Digital Utility at South East Water (SEW). The three experts discussed the industry’s pain points and how innovative digital technologies are helping to manage and control NRW loss.
For Australian water utilities, non-revenue water is a continuous challenge, previously with no clear solution at scale. A 2019 Bureau of Meteorology report estimated that
For Australian water utilities, non-revenue water is a continuous challenge, with no clear solution at scale. But now, the Australian water industry is deploying digital meters to gain better visibility of water usage across the network, providing customers with more granular and immediate information about water consumption
