Municipal water treatment plants are facilities designed to clean and purify water for public use. They take in water from sources like rivers, lakes, or underground aquifers and remove contaminants to ensure it is safe for drinking and other uses. The treatment process typically involves several steps, including filtration, sedimentation, and disinfection. These plants play a crucial role in maintaining public health by providing clean water to communities. They are operated by local governments and are essential for managing water resources effectively. Properly functioning municipal water treatment plants help prevent waterborne diseases and support overall community well-being.
