A small amount of chlorine (or another disinfectant) is
added to the water to kill any bacteria or microorganisms that
may still be in the water. This process is called disinfection.
Water is
then placed
in a closed
tank or
reservoir.
This gives
the
disinfection
process time
to work.
The water
is stored until
it is needed.
This is called
storage of
the water.
The water
then flows
through
pipes to
homes
and
businesses.
