Elected municipality and community, Jérôme Buisson (National Gathering) asked Jean-François Debat, Mayor of Bourg-en-Bresse and President of CA3B (Community of agglomeration of the large basin of Bourg-en-Bresse), about “analyzes of wastewater such as was transported by the sewage network and treated by treatment stations. The analysis of the virus loads they contain is a precise indicator that makes it possible to map the circulation of the virus in a given territory quite well. “
The elected representatives continued to ask “to find out the analysis that was done on the wastewater that was treated by the wastewater network and the Viriat treatment plant. The use of these results will make it possible to better predict the development of the health situation and appropriate measures that will be the result of it ”.
What should I do with any analyzes?
“This can allow us to be one step ahead of the virus and take action locally,” explains Jérôme Buisson, who intends to “see measures taken to combat the epidemic, not just restrictions.”
“We do not have the capacity to conduct such analyzes throughout the territory of society,” replied Jonathan Gindre, vice president at CA3B with responsibility for environment, water and energy. If he acknowledges “that there may be use”, Jonathan Gindre wonders about “the follow-up that we can give to analyzes that reveal such or such a virus load”.
“The measures that are taken are taken by the state, we can only have preventive measures if necessary. Not sure that this answer satisfies the opponent Buisson who hoped for “a territorialization of antiquated measures”.
This can allow us to be one step ahead of the virus and take action locally.
