Wastewater Surveillance
WastewaterSCAN is a national effort to spread a leading approach for monitoring diseases through municipal wastewater systems to inform public health responses locally and nationally.
- Wastewater surveillance will only capture those in the city limits of Amarillo.
- Community-level wastewater surveillance at a treatment plant also will not capture communities or facilities served by decentralized systems, such as septic systems, prisons, universities, or hospitals, that treat their waste.
- Samples will be collected at the City of Amarillo River Road Wastewater Treatment Plant and Hollywood Road Wastewater Treatment Plant three times a week.
- Currently no cost to communities
- Our wastewater surveillance program will monitor for:
- SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
- Influenza (Flu)
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
- Mpox (previously known as monkeypox)
- Norovirus
