I hadn't heard that. Thanks for the heads up! I have no insider knowledge on this, but will post here if I happen to find out anything interesting about the change.
I thought the U did a great job collecting & maintaining the wastewater data complete with downloads, etc. I hope MDH does as well!

Are 3,000 ICE agents ‘disproportionate’ to Twin Cities police forces?
Their presence is bigger than the 10 largest metro police departments combined.
Latest on the federal forces in Minnesota from me and my colleague Jeff Hargarten:
There are now more federal immigration agents in MN than the 10 largest Twin Cities police departments combined.
9% of ICE is in MN right now, even though MN has less than 1% of the nation's undocumented immigrants.

Only one Minnesota sports owner has negative favorability ratings: the Pohlads.
Meanwhile, the owner with perhaps the lowest unfavorable rating (Wild owner Craig Leipold) just became a minority owner of the Twins.

The @lumarispoll.bsky.social poll was just cited on @mprnews.org with @ninamoini.bsky.social
FWIW, The questions on gun control were NOT commissioned by an interested party but included as a public service
What question would you like to see in a survey of MN?

New MN poll: 69% of Minnesotans support banning assault weapons like the AR-15.
The surprise? Twin Cities suburbs lead at 79%, higher than Minneapolis-St. Paul proper (71%).
