How do Watercare clean our water?
Firstly a giant sieve in the rives takes all of the large items out, like branches,birds,leaves and bugs.
Secondly they put Alum in the water so that all the little bits sticks together and fall to the bottom.
Thirdly the water goes through a membrane. It is very strong and it looks like string. This takes out germs and lets only water in through very small holes.
Fourth it goes through a carbon filter that takes out bad smells and tastes.
Lastly it goes through the Chlorine tank. They use chlorine gas bubbles, this uses 30 to 40% less chlorine.
This is how Watercare cleans our water.
