1. Coagulation/Flocculation: Chemicals with a positive charge are added to water to neutralize the negative charge of dirt and other dissolved particles. These particles bind with the chemicals to form larger particles, known as floc.

2. Sedimentation: The floc settles to the bottom of the water supply, due to its weight. This settling process is called sedimentation.

3. Filtration: The clear water on top will pass through filters of varying compositions (sand, gravel, and charcoal) and pore sizes, in order to remove dissolved particles, such as dust, parasites, bacteria, viruses, and chemicals.

4. Disinfection: After the water has been filtered, a disinfectant (for example, chlorine) may be added in order to kill any remaining parasites, bacteria, and viruses, and to protect the water from germs when it is piped to homes and businesses.

5. Storage: Water is placed in a closed tank or reservoir for disinfection to take place. The water then flows through pipes to homes and businesses in the community.

6. Distribution: Treated water is then pumped into pipes that distribute it to homes and businesses.
