The pipes are so tall that children could stand in them. When the water gets to Lincoln, it goes to reservoirs all over town and waits until we need it. When we turn on our faucets, the water comes out. This makes the water absorb air and helps to get rid of pollutants. Then it gets put through some Ozone.
Ozone is a gas similar to oxygen except it kills germs.
After the ozone the water is filtered. The filters are made of sand and gravel and they trap dirt and bacteria. Next, the water goes to a big tank where chlorine is added. Floride is also added to protect our teeth. The chlorine keeps the water safe to drink, while it moves through the underground pipes and into our homes.
