Prudence might be as big a concern. If the public gets used to reports on waste streams, it would be an easy target for those who wish to create fear and panic among the populace.

As easy as one bad actor flushing the wrong/right stuff a few times (stuff that is known to be monitored, say a specific infectious agent) in a few public toilets across a city, and waiting for the reports to trickle in. More of a fanning the flames rather than starting a panic, since the threat would have been well-known enough to have been monitored in the first place.

So maybe keep those waste reports on a need-to-know basis, rather than broadcasting a public “daily waste report”.
