Wastewater - Info For You!

The wastewater treatment facility in Buffalo, MN collects weekly samples of wastewater and sends them to the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) laboratory for testing. The lab tests for the presence of 4 communicable diseases: Influenza A, Influenza B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and COVID-19.

We have put these results into a simple, easy to understand format meant to inform you which of the above illnesses are present in the community Buffalo Wastewater Treatment Plant serves.
