 Problem
When the turbidity of
Laguna Lake is high
caused by algal
bloom/water lily.
What's the harderst part <problem>?

Hardest part of that

problem is when the Laguna
lake triggers of many
situation like strong wind,
construction around that
site and algal bloom
 Can you tell us about the
last time it happended? How
often does it happen?

Last time it happened it

was around december to
february. It happen every
strong wind occurs.
 Why was that hard?
It's hard because the production of
water may Interrupt the
distribution around the community
when it happens we must process
again until it pass the standard
potable water.
What, if anything, have you done
to solve the problem?

Yes we solve it by cleaning

the filters but it can
happen because the wind is
natural made.
 What don't you love
about the solutions
you've tried?
I don't love the situation when the production is
low because of that problem that can cause
water interruption. And we can't stop it so
sometimes our distribution of water is
affected. Many costumers mad in the company
because of that.
 Solution
My suggestion is to add more Reverse Osmosis filters since the
purpose of reverse osmosis is removes contaminants from
unfiltered water, or feed water, when pressure forces it through a
semipermeable membrane. And have a good maintenance as well
often checking and cleaning other filters to give a clean water for
the costumers and to avoid interruptions.
thank
you!
