SewerAI raises new funding to modernize how cities inspect their pipes


SewerAI has raised a new round of funding led by JMI Equity, with continued participation from Innovius Capital, Epic Ventures, and Bentley Systems.

This investment comes as the National League of Cities' 2026 Municipal Infrastructure Conditions Report finds water and sewer infrastructure facing the steepest declines in condition of any major asset category since 2022, even as cities continue to rank them among their highest capital priorities. Closing that gap requires faster, more accurate ways to inspect, assess, and prioritize the systems beneath every city—work that has historically been slow, manual, expensive, and prone to error.

SewerAI helps organizations turn inspection data into rehabilitation plans and long-term asset strategies. The platform supports data from more than 2,000 cities, manages more than 30,000 miles of pipe, and has processed more than 850,000 NASSCO surveys.

Customers include the city of Houston, the nation's largest sewer collection utility, which leverages SewerAI to manage its EPA Consent Decree obligations, the city of Phoenix, and KC Water. The platform also supports thriving engineering firms and contractors including HDR and PURIS, alongside a broad network of municipal utilities, engineering firms, and CCTV inspection contractors across North America.

SewerAI’s near-term roadmap focuses on extending AI from inspection into rehabilitation planning and program management. Priorities include continued accuracy and throughput gains in AutoCode™, expanded Risk & Rehab™ capabilities for prioritizing capital projects, deeper integrations with partner systems including Esri ArcGIS, Trimble, and OpenGov, and new workflows that help utilities meet regulatory and consent-decree obligations on faster timelines and at lower cost.

Shea & Company, LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to SewerAI on the transaction. The software-focused investment bank specializes in government technology and construction technology practices, with prior advisory work for companies including First Due, Granicus and OpenGov.
