About Us

Motmot is a Water and GovTech startup dedicated to transforming the way communities approach drinking water infrastructure management.

We introduce Autonomous Underwater Robotics (AURs) for pipeline inspection. We map systems, find defects, and collect data for municipalities to have a Risk Assessment Profile for their entire system.

Our Focus

Mockup

Aging Infrastructure

The U.S. faces over 240,000 water main breaks annually, costing utilities nearly $2.6 billion per year in repairs
Source
Mockup

Water Loss and Waste

Approximately 6 billion gallons of treated water are lost daily due to leaky pipes​
Source
Mockup

Infrequent and Ineffective Maintenance

Less than 1% of pipes are inspected annually, leaving significant portions of the system unchecked​ with remaining useful life unknown

Our Response

Mockup

Comprehensive Pipeline Inspection

Inspections can reduce repair costs by up to 30%, preventing expensive, reactive maintenance

Mockup

Reducing Water Loss and Waste

By finding leaks utilities can recover up to 30% of water lost due to leaks, conserving water resources and reducing operating costs​

Mockup

Efficient and Scalable Inspections

Can inspect hundreds of miles of pipeline in a single entry, significantly lowering inspection costs and time compared to traditional methods​
