Wastewater surveillance data in the U.S.

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.

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 timeVaries by siteThis 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.
