In a process for treating water to produce potable water fit for human consumption, a treatment method is employed for reducing the concentration of pathogenic microorganisms in a volume of water (19) that contains pathogenic microorganisms less than about 10 microns in size. The process includes s primary treatment facility (21), adding an agglomerate-promoting agent (35, 37) such as a coagulant chemical to the volume of water such that solids aggregates form in an agglomeration vessel (33), passing the water through a filter cloth membrane (29) to separate greater than about 50.0 % of the pathogenic microorganisms, and disinfecting in a disinfection facility (31). The filter cloth membrane used is constructed of random web needled polyester felt. |
