We analyzed 192 responses from a 2024 survey of Emerging Infections Network members in the United States regarding how wastewater surveillance can affect clinical practice. Four themes emerged: situational awareness, patient counseling, infection control, and diagnostic support. Enhanced collaboration between public health officials and clinicians might optimize utility of such surveillance in clinical practice.
