water treatment plant

Municipal filtration complex

A water treatment plant is a facility that processes water to make it safe for drinking or suitable for discharge into the environment.

Municipal plants filter and disinfect water from reservoirs, rivers, or wells before distributing it to homes.

Wastewater treatment plants clean sewage and industrial effluent before releasing it back into waterways: The city built a new water treatment plant to handle population growth.
