Water Treatment Unit Processes
Screens | Remove fish, shells, and other large debris |
Pumps | Propel the water through the treatment process at a controlled rate |
Rapid Mix | Quickly distributes treatment chemicals through the water |
Flocculators | Mix the treatment chemicals with the water at a controlled rate in three stages of decreasing energy to clump the smaller particles together |
Sedimentation Basins | Water moves very slowly through the Sedimentation Basins to allow large particles to settle down to the bottom and be removed from the water. |
Filters | Remove fine particles from the water |
Finished Water Reservoir | Disinfection takes place in the Finished Water Reservoir before water is distributed to customers. |
