Bill overview
This bill, the SEWER Act, aims to strengthen the U.S. government’s ability to detect and monitor infectious diseases by expanding the National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS). The NWSS, run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), analyzes wastewater samples to identify pathogens like COVID-19, influenza, and mpox. The bill provides funding and authority for the CDC to enhance this system and work with public health departments to improve preparedness and response to public health emergencies.
