New sewer inspection software with AI defect detection
Bangor
Summary
The city is replacing its clunky legacy pipe-inspection software with SewerAI, which uses machine learning to catch pipe defects crews might miss. Crews spend less time filming in busy roadways, and the data feeds straight into city maps for capital planning. Councilor Carson pressed on cybersecurity; staff said SCADA-controlled infrastructure is excluded and the city keeps ownership of its data.
