Basically, an extraction point in the lake feeds water into supply pipes. These take the water to a treatment plant where it is made safe for drinking. Further pipes distribute water to communities where water mains, often under the road, then split up to supply each building. Depending on the lie of the land, the water may basically flow under gravity, or may need to be pumped. In some areas water towers are used to increase the local pressure.

it comes from lake Ontario. Lake Ontario is the nearest body of water to the city and its Toronto's only source of water.

What letter would you see on a french hot tap?

Usually there are no letters on French taps; some old taps bear the letters C (for chaud = hot) and F (froid = cold). Hot water taps are always located on the left side, cold water taps on the right. It is also standard to find color marks (blue for cold, red for hot) on the taps. On newer models, having a central lever instead of two taps, you turn the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for more cold water. Also the blue and red marks may be found on these type of taps.
