Testimonials

Here's what people are saying about us.

Like many communities, Wyoming is continuously working to maintain and improve our water distribution system, ensuring safe and reliable service for our residents and businesses. One of the greatest challenges we face is understanding what’s happening beneath our streets without costly and disruptive excavation.

The need for innovation in asset management has never been greater. Motmot’s Autonomous Underwater Robotic (AUR) technology directly supports one of MI-AWWA’s core principles: “Innovate to build resilient infrastructure”, particularly around supporting initiatives and cross-industry partnerships with a focus on advancing the water industry.

The Process

The Problem

Water systems fail because they don’t have clear visibility of unseen assets, making effective management and long-term planning extremely difficult.

Motmot's Solution

Observed condition data and risk reports give direct visibility into their buried water main and structures give a clear path to smarter asset management.

Why Choose Motmot

Backed by utility partners, research institutions, and industry leaders, Motmot is making the unseen seen. Real data that helps utilities move from reactive repairs to predictive planning.

“A single 16-inch main break cost us nearly a quarter million dollars. That’s just one event. Inspection would pay for itself in a month.”
