WHAT LEARNED:
Yesterday I learned that our water pressure comes from the water towers which hold together i million gallons of water. I also learned that our city gets its water from a well under the grand river, but its 300 ft under the river in rock. Other wells our city draws water from are around 60 ft deep and are moniterd heavily for contaminents. Our city not only filters our water but it also adds chemicals to promote better health. Floride for your teeth and bones. Chlorine to kill different bacteria, and phospurose to coat the pipes toprotect us from led, and iron. Our city has about 32 miles of water main. Also, I learned that our city has about 5-6 water main breaks a year, mostly in the winter.
