piped water
Faucet-delivered household flow
Piped water is water delivered through a system of pipes, typically to homes or buildings from a municipal supply.
The term distinguishes treated, plumbed water from wells, cisterns, or water carried from natural sources: Many rural villages still lack access to piped water.
Having piped water is a basic measure of infrastructure development.
