Water treatment is whereby the used water or raw water from the river is treated in process to make the water more acceptable for a desired end-used. The goal of water treatment is to remove existing contaminants in the water, or reduce the concentration of such contaminants so the water becomes fit for its desired end-used. The process involved in treating water is solids separation using physical process and chemical process. Before the water is distributed into the public houses, the water has to undergo the water treatment process such as follows: –

• Aeration are to eliminate unneeded dissolved gases such as (CO2, H2S,NH3).
• It is also to increase DO level in water and remove DOC
• Coagulation is the removal of turbidity from the water.
• Turbidity is a cloudy appearance of water caused by small particles suspended therein. Water with little or no turbidity will clear.
• Flocculation is mixing process in which particles are brought into contact in order to promote their agglomeration
• Sedimentation is to remove suspended material from water by the action of gravity.
