Cleaner water exits a pipe toward the end of the treatment train. The system diverts a portion of water from Prairie Creek and treats it with alum, a chemical that deactivates phosphorous, the favorite food of the lake's toxic blue-green algae, and funnels the water through a series of retention ponds and wetlands before releasing the water to the lake.
