Efficient urban sewerage systems are essential for protecting public health, preventing environmental pollution, and ensuring sustainable urban development. Rapid urbanization, aging infrastructure, hydraulic overload, and climate change impacts increasingly reduce the operational performance of sewer networks. This study analyzes modern engineering, technological, and management methods for improving the efficiency of urban sewerage systems, including hydraulic optimization, real-time monitoring, infiltration reduction, smart control technologies, and integrated stormwater management. The results show that combining digital monitoring, infrastructure rehabilitation, and sustainable drainage solutions significantly enhances system reliability, reduces operational costs, and minimizes environmental risks.
