Water in PTBO

The water supply system in Peterborough (PTBO) sources its water primarily from the Otanbe River and various lakes in the surrounding area. This water undergoes a series of conventional treatment processes, including coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection, primarily using aluminum sulfate as a coagulant and chlorine for disinfection.
