Ever wonder what happens to your water before it reaches your tap?
There’s a lot more to it than turning on a faucet.
At the Carter Lake Filter Plants, water goes through several steps before it enters LTWD’s distribution system:
• Coagulation and flocculation
• Filtration
• Disinfection
• Fluoridation
• Corrosion control
And the process doesn’t stop there. Water is continuously monitored and then moved through miles of transmission lines, storage tanks and pumping stations before reaching customers.
It’s a complex system built around one simple goal: providing safe, reliable, good-tasting water.
