Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) September 22, 2022 The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (Regional San) in partnership with Sacramento Splash (Splash)
The general manager at Regional San, the wastewater agency for more than 1.5 million people in Sacramento County, says COVID-19 levels in wastewater has increased in recent weeks, but still far below the winter omicron surge.
The sampling of human waste and other methods for tracking the spread of COVID-19 show an encouraging trend, but hospitalizations are reaching record levels and health care workers are struggling to keep up.
The project uses bacteria to remove more than 99 percent of ammonia from sewer water, which is part of a larger effort to ensure clean water quality and allow for potential recycling, which will increase drought resilience.
