To quickly identify a second surge of the outbreak as it appears. MWRA will then use this information to work with state health authorities to help figure out where more resources need to go to safeguard Boston-area residents.

Join MyRWA and the MA Water Resources Authority (MWRA) to find out how testing in the sanitary sewer system can help Massachusetts control the spread of COVID-19.
