The Wisconsin Wastewater Surveillance Program has been named a National Center of Excellence for Wastewater Surveillance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Wisconsin Wastewater Surveillance Program (WWSP) is a partnership between the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene at UW-Madison, and UW-Milwaukee.

It joins just three other Centers of Excellence in the country that are part of the CDC’s National Wastewater Surveillance System.
