The pressure of increased population and industrialization is forcing the rapid expansion of water treatment plants throughout the country. This expansion has made it necessary to re‐evaluate standard methods in the interest of speeding plant construction and reducing construction costs, for many plants have not expanded rapidly enough and, consequently, are producing poorly filtered water. There is a method that has an advantage in many situations in which construction schedules, construction costs, and filtered‐ water quality are problems. This method involves predetermination of coagulant requirements, application of polymer ahead of the filters, continuous monitoring of filter effluent turbidity, and the use of coarse‐to‐fine filters.
