When you turn on a water faucet where dies the water come from?

Answer 1

There is a pipe that connects to it that same pipe goes under ground then flows to the nearest source of water. Example: Ocean, Pond, Lake. The hot water tank works as a syphon to pump the water out.

Of course there are filters in the lines so you wouldn't get nasty water some times you have to change your pipes to change the filter its very easy though and any plumber can do it.

You know they need changed when dirt, sand, small or small fish start to flow through the pipes. You will need to change your pipes if there is a strange taste coming from the faucet.

Answer 2

Mine comes from the local water processing and filtration plant, but this varies depending where you are, as yours may be coming straight from a river, dam, etc.; something that you don't want it to be coming from.

Answer 3

How far back do you want to go? Pipe in the basement. Water main in the street or from a well on your property. A water treatment plant somewhere in your city. A river, lake or underground aquifer. Rain which came from evaporation of the ocean and other standing bodies of water.

Answer 4

Rural water comes from a well dug on the property. City water comes from different sources depending on location. Snow melts or rain runs to a resivoir or lake, could come from a river directly. It is piped to a treatment plant to purify it and add clorine to kill bacteria. It is then run through underground pipes which branch off to each house. It come in through the basement, usually on the front side of the house or the side towards the street. Then through smaller pipes to each fixture.

Answer 5

Water comes to the home through pipes from the city watermain out in the street, or from your home well system. It gets to any appliance or faucet through the pipes in the home. As soon as framing is completed in any home, pipes are laid from the incoming main supply to the faucets, the H/W tank, and the toilet. another set of pipes leads from the H/W tank to each hot faucet, including the ones where washing machine and dishwasher will be. These two will end in a shut off valve where these 2 appliances can be connected easily.
