Retrieved on January 16, 2008.</ref> In 2008, in order to increase the efficiency of its sewer system, South Bend began the installation of an array of intelligent sensors and valves allowing it to become the first city to migrate its sewer system management to the cloud. When a section of the system is under heavy use, this system can divert flow to other, less busy, sections. This more efficient system has helped to save the city an estimated $100&nbsp;million in new sewage pipes.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.fastcompany.com/3014805/how-south-bend-indiana-saved-100-million-by-tracking-its-sewers |title = How South Bend, Indiana Saved $100 Million By Tracking Its Sewers |date = August 5, 2013 |website = Fastcompany.com |access-date = August 27, 2017 }}</ref>
