It's not that they wanted to shut it down. The CDC ended their contract with Biobot in September 2023 in favor of Verily, and Biobot filed an appeal. If Biobot is now sunsetting their wastewater dashboard, they must have lost the appeal.
I'm not sure that's the case, as they are still doing summary reports of the collected data.

I do wonder if it's that so many counties have stopped participating that they were starting to look silly. Florida was down to 3 or 4 out 67 counties. Looking at all the state date was looking like a graph graveyard.
WastewaterSCAN, the partner of Verily, the company the CDC chose over Biobot for dirt cheap, has you covered. Their chart includes 13 utilities in Florida:
Their All Wastewater Sites chart includes data from 194 sites, 1 line per site:
Woo! We're up to 5 or 6 counties now! lmao, the bar has been raised!
Thanks for pointing me towards this. Should at least fulfill the role biobot's graphs were in giving me an idea of when we're in the middle of a statewide wave. Looks like things are starting to pick up again down in St Pete.
