 Shown at left is
the flocculator basin. After the water has been
treated with lime, aluminum sulfate, and sodium
carbonate, it travels into the flocculator basin.
water in this basin is a murky white color.
From the flocculator basin, the water flows into the sedimentation basins shown below, all of which are about 18 feet deep.

These basins
allow any suspended matter to settle out before
the water continues through the treatment plant.
Settled matter is removed daily by the plant
operator and is sent to a lagoon located north of
the facility.
