Water Source
Local municipal supply sourced from nearby rivers and small reservoirs and treated at a local water treatment plant; distribution is via ageing pipes in parts of the town which can affect water quality at the tap. Treatment reduces pathogens, but leaks and inconsistent maintenance mean locals often boil or filter before drinking.
