Description:Wastewater surveillance—the testing of community wastewater for infectious diseases and other targets—is a relatively new and rapidly-evolving field. Practically non-existent in the US before 2020, implementation of wastewater surveillance testing was expedited by the COVID-19 pandemic and the establishment of the CDC National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS). With this accelerated growth, the wastewater surveillance community—laboratories, health departments and wastewater utility partners—needs guidance and context for their testing.
In 2023, the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) conducted a national survey to characterize laboratory capability and capacity. The survey results outlined in this report provide a baseline for laboratories to measure against as they grow and hone their methods. This report can also be used by NWSS and APHL’s NWSS Laboratory Community of Practice to understand the overall wastewater surveillance landscape and to identify successes, challenges and resource needs.
