I just talked to someone from NYSERDA and she's going to send me results of a study that they've just completed, but have not yet published. That will cover NY only, so she recommended that I look on the EPA website for national data. Here's a small part of what I found on that site:

How Is CHP Being Used at U.S. WWTFs? As of September 2007, wastewater treatment CHP systems were in place at 79 sites in 24 states, representing 223 MW of electric capacity. Of the existing CHP systems in the wastewater treatment sector, the majority use reciprocating engines. The mix of technologies used for CHP also includes microturbines, fuel cells, and turbine installations.
If the NYSERDA report contains anything interesting, I'll post it.
