Investment supports SewerAI's mission to make utilities, engineers, and contractors superhuman by equipping them with AI-powered tools to inspect, assess, and rehabilitate aging underground infrastructure.
WALNUT CREEK, Calif., June 02, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SewerAI, the leading AI platform for sewer and underground infrastructure intelligence, today announced a major strategic investment led by JMI Equity, a leading growth equity software investor based in the greater DC area and San Diego, with continued participation from Innovius Capital, Epic Ventures, and Bentley Systems—seasoned investors known for backing category-defining technology companies.
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.
The company's platform combines artificial intelligence, cloud technology, and infrastructure expertise to help organizations move from raw inspection data to decisions, rehabilitation plans, and long-term asset strategies faster than ever before. Today, SewerAI's end to end AI platform supports data from more than 2,000 cities, manages over 30,000 miles of pipe, and has completed more than 850,000 NASSCO surveys with its AutoCode™ AI engine.
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.
"Today, we're not just announcing a fundraise. We're declaring that the era of neglected infrastructure is over. JMI is one of the most disciplined growth investors in the world, and their investment in SewerAI is a vote of confidence for an entire ecosystem: the cities maintaining the systems beneath our feet, the engineers designing what comes next, the operators in the field every day, and the builders who still believe American infrastructure can be the best in the world. We are incredibly excited for the future," said Billy Gilmartin, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of SewerAI.
