26 DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PROCESSES

27 INTAKE TAKE WATER IN FROM THE LAKE TO THE TREATMENT PLANT

28 FLASH MIX FLASH MIX & FLOC ALUM & OTHER CHEMICALS ARE ADDED TO LAKE WATER TO FORM TINY STICKY PARTICLES CALLED FLOC, WHICH ATTRACT DIRT TO FORM LARGER AND HEAVIER PARTICLES. COAGULATION THE COMBINING OF SMALL PARTICLES TO FORM LARGER, HEAVIER PARTICLES.

29 SEDIMENTATION CHAMBERS FLASH MIX FLOC CLOUD SEDIMENTATION THE SINKING AND SETTLING OF PARTICLES DOWNWARD SEDIMENT FLOW

30 FILTER DECK FILTRATION PASSING OF WATER THROUGH MATERIALS WHICH REMOVE THE SMALLEST PARTICLES FILTER CHAMBERS

31 DISINFECTION THE ADDITION OF CHLORINE TO KILL BACTERIA OR MICRO- ORGANISMS

32 CLEARWELLS CLEARWELLS STORAGE CLEARWELLS ARE BASINS FOR HOLDING WATER BEFORE DISTRIBUTION

33 DISTRIBUTION SENDING WATER TO CITY WATER UTILITIES WHICH THEN SEND IT TO YOUR HOUSE
