public water supply

Public water supply refers to the system that delivers clean, safe drinking water to households and businesses through a network of pipes. Water is sourced from natural bodies like rivers, lakes, or underground aquifers. It undergoes treatment processes to remove contaminants and ensure safety before reaching consumers. The supply system includes treatment plants, reservoirs, pumping stations, and distribution pipes. Public water supply is managed by local authorities or utilities, ensuring consistent access, quality standards, and infrastructure maintenance. It plays a vital role in public health, supporting daily activities, sanitation, and overall community well-being.
