Abstract
Revised Simplex method was used to reduce treatment cost of water at Berekum water trearment plant. The 2011 data collected was divided into two to reflect the two major seasons-dry and wet season, we have in the country. Each data was modeled into objective functions and subject constraints. Matrices generated from each season were run on Matlab code. Result that were obtained showed a significant reduction in treatment cost compared to actual cost in the same year.
