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.
