Test results from MWRA’s pilot study to track wastewater at the Deer Island Treatment Plant for indicators of COVID-19 infection are posted on this site.
As of Thursday August 24th wastewater testing for SARS-COV-2 RNA will return to daily collections. Samples are analyzed by Biobot Analytics, a wastewater epidemiology company. Sample results will generally be posted 2-3 working days after they are collected. Please refer to the Mass DPH website for information regarding current cases of COVID-19 in your community.
