In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, CDC established the National Wastewater Surveillance System and later expanded it to include mpox and influenza A data dashboards.[SUP]†[/SUP] Wastewater utility partners have cited community health benefits as a motivating factor for participating in wastewater surveillance; a lack of public support for wastewater surveillance activities might lead utility partners to cease participation (1,2). However, little is known about public support for wastewater monitoring and its influence on protective health behaviors. As innovative surveillance strategies such as wastewater surveillance evolve, ethical considerations, including understanding public perceptions regarding support for these activities and potential risks to communities, are essential (3).
