How is the water cleaned before it gets pumped in your taps?

Before water is pumped to taps, it undergoes a rigorous purification process. Initially, it is sourced from rivers, lakes, or underground aquifers and then filtered to remove large debris. Next, chemicals like chlorine or ozone are added to disinfect and eliminate harmful microorganisms. Finally, the water is tested for quality and safety before being distributed through the municipal supply system.
