Steps of How the Water Gets Cleaned<br />

11<br />

The person that we interviewed<br />

is Allen Wu who is part of the Walnut<br />

Valley Water District. The water<br />

depends on the population. One<br />

person can equal up to 120 gallons<br />

of water. He told us the steps of water<br />

going through the cleaning process.<br />

1) Filter the water like a big screen<br />

will keep out the big molecules.<br />

2) Add chemicals to the addition of<br />

chemicals to the water to be treated.<br />

3) The water will be pumped through one of many different<br />

types of filters, leaving the accumulated floc behind in the<br />

filtration media.<br />

4) Pump into a closed tank<br />

where disinfectant chemicals<br />

such as chlorine are used to<br />

destroy any bacteria or other<br />

microorganisms that might<br />

have survived the filtration<br />

process.<br />
