Almost half of the U.S. population is represented by wastewater from CDC’s network.

CDC’s wastewater (sewage) monitoring program tracks infectious diseases across the country.

Wastewater monitoring can detect viruses within a community before people who are sick go to their doctor or hospital. It can also detect infections in people who don’t feel sick.
