水廠, or "water plant," refers to a facility that processes and purifies water for public consumption. These plants typically use various methods, such as filtration and chemical treatment, to ensure that the water meets safety standards set by health authorities. The goal is to provide clean and safe drinking water to communities. In many regions, 水廠 plays a crucial role in the water supply system, often working in conjunction with 水管網 (water distribution networks) to deliver water to homes and businesses. Proper maintenance and operation of these facilities are essential for public health and environmental sustainability.
