Here are the major data sources for wastewater surveillance data in the United States. We’ve included government sources and research/academic dashboards.
The page is split into two tables: national sources and state/local sources. Click on a row to see detailed annotations on that source.
This resource will be updated once a month. The most recent update was January 29, 2023.
National COVID-19 wastewater dashboards
Federal governmental and research efforts tracking COVID-19 through wastewater surveillance.| Name | Link | Metrics available | Update schedule | Notes | Annotations last updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CDC National Wastewater Surveillance System | https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#wastewater-surveillance | SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater over time, recent trends in viral concentration, national trends | Daily Mon-Fri | Data from surveillance sites run by state and local health departments, as well as from sites tested via the CDC's contract with Biobot, are all reported to this dashboard. | 1/22/23 |
| Biobot Network | https://biobot.io/data/ | SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater over time, national and regional trends, new COVID-19 cases, variants present | Weekly | Local data on this dashboard only includes sites in the free Biobot Network, not those that Biobot is testing via their contract with the CDC. The national and regional trends include all Biobot sites (including those in the CDC contract). | 1/22/23 |
| COVIDPoops19 | https://ucmerced.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/index.html#/c778145ea5bb4daeb58d31afee389082 | Wastewater dashboards around the world | As needed | Use this dashboard to find other wastewater dashboards! Includes both government and academic efforts. | 1/22/23 |
| WastewaterSCAN (Sewer Coronavirus Alert Network) | https://data.wastewaterscan.org/ | SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater over time; viral load by variant; concentrations of MPX, Influenza A, RSV, norovirus, HMPV over time | Varies by site | This academic project, based out of Stanford University, Emory University, and partners, has expanded from California to include wastewater testing sites in other states. It includes sites in 25 states as of January 2023. | 1/29/23 |
State data availability
As of January 29, 2023, 25 states maintain their own wastewater surveillance dashboards independently of the CDC NWSS site.
The COVID-19 Data Dispatch list also includes seven local and four regional dashboards.
