Public Health Wastewater Monitoring
It doesn’t really matter whether you call it wastewater-based disease surveillance, wastewater-based epidemiology, public health wastewater monitoring, or something else: testing untreated wastewater for pathogen markers provides valuable public health information. But public health wastewater monitoring can’t happen without wastewater utilities. This website provides the information and tools that utilities and their health department partners need to enable sustained utility participation in public health wastewater monitoring programs.
