I recently traveled around Tempe, Arizona with a city crew as they lifted up manhole covers and collected wastewater samples to be tested twice a week for evidence of illicit drugs running through the city sewers.
Supporters of wastewater drug testing say this is the best and fastest way to look at drug use and drug trafficking in real time as it's happening.
This can be a way of finding out which neighborhoods are suffering from infiltrations of new drugs.
Ambulances can go out with more Narcan, the overdose-reversing medication.
Pamphlets for emergency services and rehab can be scattered throughout a neighborhood.
And lots of prevention and other intervention techniques can occur.
But critics say that particularly when police get hold of the information, it can be used to punish people rather than to help them and heal them.
