- 55name the seven stages of water treatment1. Water from a river or lake it filtered
2. Pumps move water to treatment plant
3. Chemicals such as lime, alum, charcoal are added to stick to minerals and bacteria
4. The suspended solids settle to the bottom of another tank
5. Water is pumped through beds of sand and gravel to take out rest of suspended material, leaving potable water
6. Ozone or chlorine may be added to provide addition cleansing
7. The safe, potable water is transported to homes through underground pipes - 56to purify water by turning it into water vapour, condense it, and take the resulting liquiddistill
