to the mixing basins where 1t is very
much agitated and the chemicals are
thoroughly dissolved"
Coagulating basins
From the mixing chamber the
water passes into the coagulating bas-
ms. BY this time the chemicals have
formed what are called foe, which
very much resemble the small par
tIcles formed by sour cream when
placed in coffee. and having con-
sistency very much like the white of
an ogg. These floc being sticky. they
attract the bacteria and other sus-
pended matter in the water, and by
the time 1t has passed through the
coagulating stage settles to tho bot
tom.
by this time the original number
OF bacteria, something like 10000 to
tho cubic Centi:actre, has tnen re-
duced to 80 to the cubic centimetre SO

1T is seen, that in tho coagulating
basins, nearly all the suspended mat
ter is eliminated and It is this suspend
ed matter which is largely earth, that
discolors the water. This discolora-
ton of the water is called by the
water works people, turbidity and
there are times directly after rains,
when tho turbidity will amount to
500 parts per million. or in plain Eng
lish. 4.165 pounds to the million gal

These coagulating basins are moth
