In addition to testing individuals for COVID-19 exposure during the pandemic, researchers across the globe have identified other means for tracking its spread—including through wastewater. 

Cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) can serve as a seemingly brand new liner and restore a pipe’s structural integrity, but things can still go wrong after it’s been installed. And the only way to find that out before severe damage ensues is through a visual inspection.
