Project Spotlight
Wastewater Surveillance
for COVID-19

As our clients have adapted to living with COVID-19, Hygieneering has been asked to perform wastewater surveillance for COVID-19 within communities. Per the CDC, COVID-19 can be detected in wastewater, and this information can serve as an early indicator that COVID-19 is spreading throughout the community. This provides the community with valuable information to properly assess and respond to events or outbreaks detected in this sampling. Hygieneering’s duties onsite consist of the following tasks:
  • Work with the community to determine wastewater collection points based on sewer lateral and main routing prior to arriving onsite.
  • Using an autosampler, program a sample plan into the sampler to obtain a composite sample that represents the entire client specified sample period.
  • Transport the sample, once the sample period is completed, to an accredited lab for analysis.
  • Provide the community with a report detailing field activities and results from the lab that they can use to assess COVID-19 within their community.

Hygieneering’s diverse professional staff is supporting a variety of communities, running multiple autosamplers per site, and performing repeat sampling for communities so that they have the information necessary to react and respond to COVID-19.

Thank you to Christopher Glass for hosting such a fun and informative day!
