municipal water supply

Town's piped water

Municipal water supply is a public system that delivers treated water to homes and businesses in a city or town.

The infrastructure typically includes reservoirs, treatment plants, and networks of pipes maintained by local government.

Communities without municipal water supply rely on private wells.

The municipal water supply was tested for contaminants after residents complained of an odd taste.
