Consultation

The Colorado NWSS CoE is proud to offer a range of consultation services to support a vast array of public health, epidemiology, and bioinformatics functions. We provide in-person and remote site visits with wastewater utilities, public health agencies and public health laboratories. We connect epidemiologists, environmental health professionals, and laboratorians with their peers to facilitate the sharing of resources and technical expertise. 

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the University of Denver regularly provide technical expertise and guidance to partners across the nation related to wastewater monitoring. These services are offered both in individual and group formats. To better understand the individuality of wastewater systems and provide the best technical assistance possible, we provide onsite wastewater consulting to public health agencies and wastewater utilities throughout the region. We have experience working with both large urban municipal wastewater treatment facilities and small rural utilities.
