Water Purification:
Chlorination
The
water is then chlorinated - a small amount of chlorine is added to disinfect the water and kill any micro-organisms or germs (D).
Finally,
the clean water is stored in large service reservoirs and distributed through the mains water system to all parts of the
community.
Adding
chlorine to the water can result in a slight increase in the acidity of the water. Sometimes lime is added to the water to
neutralize the acidity.
