The angle wells take advantage of river bank filtration toremovesuspendedsolidsandharmfulwaterbornepathogens.Fromtheanglewells,waterisfedintotheoxidationbasinwhereozonegasisinjected.TheozoneoxidizestheironandmanganeseformingparticleswhicharethenremovedbytheMFmembranes.WaterpassingthroughtheMFmembranesentersasupplytankforthe
