Over 700 municipalities in the United States have combined sewer systems. Following rainfall events, flows to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) may exceed capacity, resulting billions of gallons being discharged annually. In Indianapolis, Indiana, precipitation events ≥6 mm result up 90 sewage overflow As blow flies visit organic wastes that include fecal material, we hypothesized act as vectors enteric pathogens present from events. Blow were collected over a 2 year period at six urban...
