Cocaine levels are 50% above the US average in rich and famous hotspot Nantucket

A test on sewage in wealthy Nantucket Island has discovered cocaine levels 50% higher than the US average, according to data published by local health officials.
Levels of cocaine in wastewater tested around the wealthy Massachusetts enclave measured over 1,5000 nanograms per liter (ng/L), compared to the national average of 1,000 ng/L, according to testing results on the town’s website.
The results, based on testing carried out over six weeks between Jun. 18 and Jul. 28, also detected traces of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and Xylazine, along with prescription opioids including codeine, morphine, and oxycodone.

“I think it’s interesting that cocaine was so high. And I was surprised fentanyl was so low, because fentanyl is in everything. I thought fentanyl would be higher,” Dr. Timothy Lepore, the founder of Addiction Solutions of Nantucket, told the Boston Globe.
“I’m interested to see in the depths of winter, when people with large amounts of disposable income have left the island,” he said.
What's funny, the NY Post publishes a picture of Dave Portnoy as an example of a Nantucket rich an famous person in the article.

So from 1% (normies) to 1.5% (rich and famous) of the total or am I mathing wrong?
Can you add clarification that it is the amounts in the wastewater?

What is surprising is their testing waste for narcotics. What is the benefit?

You can learn a lot by testing sewerage.

Nantucket people probably don’t buy shitty coke from Tyrone the street dealer. I’m sure they have someone with a good connection for the purer product

Or the “fentanyl is in everything” statement is pure BS
Cross contamination certainly happens, but if it was in even 1% of the blow, meth, Molly, etc…. We’d see a hell of a lot more people dropping dead

It provides objective evidence of amounts and types drug use in a community and alerts of trends in drug use. It they start seeing high numbers of xylazine then first responders will know naloxone is often going to be ineffective. Whereas if opioid numbers are higher and xylazine numbers are next to nothing then naloxone would be highly effective. It also alerts medical providers that they need to start increasing supplies of wound care kits to combat ulcers, necrotic tissue and abscesses. Upticks in fentanyl would necessitate different responses.
Why they do testing in Nantucket is just to show cocaine is more popular in wealthy areas. And that is the headline that gets our attention.
There is some ancillary benefit to law enforcement.
