municipal water supply

Municipal water supply refers to the system used by cities and towns to provide clean, safe drinking water to residents and businesses. This system includes sourcing water from rivers, lakes, or underground aquifers, treating it to remove impurities, and distributing it through a network of pipes to homes and establishments. Municipalities manage this process to ensure adequate supply, maintain water quality, and address waste and sewage. Funding for these services typically comes from water bills paid by users, along with government support. The goal is to deliver reliable water for everyday needs while protecting public health and the environment.
