Prairie farm reservoirs are usually low in turbidity and contain high concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Some are treated with aluminum sulfate in late fall when the water drops below 3°C, often with poor turbidity reduction results. Jar tests using aluminum sulfate were conducted to study the effect of water temperature on enhanced coagulation of a typical high DOC prairie water. Jar tests showed that temperature affects turbidity, particle counts and total residual aluminum but does not affect DOC, UV254 absorbance and colour reduction. Turbidity of the treated water increased consistently as the temperature decreased. Particle counts in the 1 to 10 µm range were reduced by two logs at 20°C but only by one log at 1.5°C indicating inferior oocyst removal at low temperatures. Bentonite addition at 1.5°C did not affect the treated water particle counts but because the bentonite increased the raw water particle count, the reduction of the particles could be increased by one log. Coagulant demand for the water tested without pH adjustment is one to two mg Al per mg of DOC at all temperatures tested. The optimum pH for all temperatures was about 6.0 for DOC removal and about 6.5 for turbidity removal based on a dosage increment of 0.5 pH units. UV254 absorbance is well suited to predict optimum aluminum sulfate dosage for DOC removal.
