Wastewater monitoring (WWM) is a dynamic tool that is being actively used to monitor for flu, measles, and more in the United States. If your local jurisdiction is new to WWM, we recommend you start with NACCHO’s new checklist. Based on experiences of local health departments with WWM programs, the checklist provides practical first steps for identifying the needs of your WWM program, guiding you through questions to consider during the implementation process.
