Opioid wastewater collection areas are comprised of merged sewage drainage basins that flow to a shared testing location for the opioid wastewater study. The collection area polygons are published with related wastewater testing data, which are provided by scientists from Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute.

The wastewater is tested for the presence of prescription opioid parent drug compounds such as Fentanyl, Oxycodone, Codeine, the illegally made opioid parent drug compound Heroin and opioid metabolite drug compounds including Norfentanyl, 6-Acetylmorphine and Noroxycodone.This dashboard focuses on the average monthly population normalized mass load values (mg/day/1000 capita) by collection area. The absence of a value in a chart indicates that either no samples were collected, or sample values are below detection or reporting limits. 

This operations dashboard is used in an associated story map Fighting Opioid Misuse by Monitory Community Health https://arcg.is/PKWuz about the opioid wastewater testing project.
