For wastewater indicators like population connected to sewers, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) compliance, sewer and connection blockages, flooding from combined sewers, total complaints, affordability, WWTP energy consumption, climate footprint, total cost coverage ratio, sewer rehabilitation, average charges and personnel intensity are included.
