Each Water treatment facility is designed for the water it is treating.
The water treatment plant near my home is fairly simple considering it provides water to about 200,000 people.
The water is pumped in from the River and checked for contaminants the plant can't clean up. Chemicals and oil for example.
It goes through a three part filter. If you watch the Water Filter pitcher adds on TV its quite similar on a huge scale. They use a bed of Gravel with finer gravel on top with the final layer being activated Charcoal.
Once it has gone through the filter it gets treated with Chlorine checked for the 10 th time and pumped into the system.
Optional depending on what the source water are things like a tank for chemical precipitation of dissolved solids. Fluoride treatment and a bunch of other things.
In some cases:If the water is particularly bad or in an Emergency reverse osmosis is used on large scale systems.The Canadian Government maintains a system in several shipping containers for deployment all over the world.

Boiler feed is the fresh or treated water to replenish the water loss though evaporation or leak
The Kharkh Water Treatment Plant is located about 30 kilometers north of Baghdad on the west side of the Tigris River, from which it takes the water to be treated. Kharkh provides about 40 percent of treated, potable water for the city of Baghdad.
this is water that comes from a river or a lake and goes through a treatment plant (this plant has all the chemicals and machinery) then once it is treated it then flows into people's home through the main pipes in the city.

Water for drinking is putt through a water treatment plant after it is taken from the water source (streams, lakes or wells). The treatment removes bacteria, solids, smells and odours.Used water (sewage) is treated in one of several types of sewage treatment plants to remove solids, organic, metal, bacteria, adjust the pH and other factors.

With a filter system.
Runoff water and human waste make up the majority of treatment plant material.
All water we drink and produce as sewage is part of the water cycle. Water is taken from rivers and lakes and treated to drinking water standard. Wastewater then goes down the sewers to a wastewater treatment plant where it is treated to clean it and then put back into rivers........so you're not directly drinking sewage!
the sewers take sewage and surface water runoff (from the roads etc) to a sewage treatment plant. Here it is treated and cleaned then discharged back in to a river or stream. From that river a water treatment works then abstracts (removes) water, treats it drinking water standard and it is pumped through the water pipes to your tap.
