Water Treatment

• Stage 1:

  Sedimentation

  • Water is stored in a large tank or reservoir.
  • Allows large insoluble particles (sand, stones, leaves) to settle to the bottom.
  • Water is then siphoned from the top to the second stage.
• Stage 2:

  Filtration

  • Small insoluble particles which don’t dissolve are removed passing the water through sand filter beds.
• Stage 3:

  Chlorination

  • Water is sterilised by adding chlorine to kill bacteria (microorganism).
  • Makes safe to drink.
• • After water is treated, its then stored to be distributed to homes and businesses needed.
