How is drinking water treated?
The types of treatment provided by a specific water system vary depending on the size of the system, whether they are using ground water or surface water, and the quality of the source water. Additional information on the treatment of drinking water, including a virtual tour of a drinking water plant, is available at http://water.epa.gov/drink/info/index.cfm.
