Hello,
Thank you for sharing most useful companies list. Treatment for drinking water production involves the
removal of contaminants from raw water to produce water that is pure enough for human consumption
without any short term or long term risk of any adverse health effect. Substances that are removed
during the process of drinking water treatment include suspended solids, bacteria, algae, viruses, fungi,
and minerals such as iron and manganese. Thank you again..
