Water treatment in Eaton Rapids

Yeaterday our class took a trip to the water treatment plant in Eaton rapids. Some interesting facts I learned were about where our water comes from and what chemicals have to do with it. Our water comes form 6 underground wells. 3 of the wells are 60 feel deep gravel wells. the other 3 are rock wells located by the river. These three wells were closer too 300 feet deep. I also didnt know that chemicals were put in our water. phosphate is one of these chemicals. it coats the inside of the pipes to keep the metal from leeching in. they also put in flouride which aids in bone and teeth health.
