MWRA-export

The MWRA Wastewater COVID-19 Tracking project is an insanely good data source for SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in the metro Boston environment.

However, the static graphs aren’t very easy to read, and the raw data link given at the bottom of the page is a PDF.

This tool provides a simple utility that takes the raw data PDF, extracts the numbers in it, and saves them as a CSV for further analysis.

What’s next?

I might add plotting functionality with seaborn or plotnine. PRs welcome.
