  Creating a Domestic Water System
A domestic water system is a piped system for the purposes of conveying a portable water supply from the supplier to the end user.
The systems are required to deliver clean, safe, potable water to each point of domestic water connection and also provide a means of connecting to unsafe sources of contamination for process water use, through the use of backflow preventers or other approved means.
Sanitary, drainage, waste and vent systems are physically isolated from the supply side through the use of approved air gaps, air breaks and backflow preventers in order to physically isolate and enforce this separation between the supply and waste systems.

 Water Pressure - Keidel Bath, Plumbing, Kitchen - Cincinnati, OH
The pressure of the water delivered to your home will vary depending on your elevation relative to the source, as well as the complexity and condition of the piping system that delivers it.

 Water supply network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virtually all large systems must treat the water; a fact that is tighly regulated by global, state and federal agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
That energy is transferred to the water, therefore becoming water pressure, in a number of ways: by a pump, by gravity feed from a water source (such as a reservoir or a water tower) at a higher elevation, or, in smaller systems, by compressed air.
These systems are usually owned and maintained by local governments, such as cities, or other public entities, but are occasionally operated by a commercial enterprise (see water privatization).

 Chemical-Free Municipal Water Purification System To Be
This contract to develop chlorine-free water purification systems for municipal use leverages Vortex's patented and scalable photo-oxidation technology which is the underpinning of its consumer Vortex® Water Machine and its rugged Vortex® Voyager unit which can be used for emergency preparedness and homeland security.
Presently chlorine is the main product used by municipal water treatment facilities nationwide, presenting a unique challenge to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. In recent studies, the storage and transportation of chlorine has been identified as a potential terrorism risk.
To offset these domestic risks, Vortex successfully constructed a laboratory prototype in a Phase One project which was capable of purifying water without the use of chlorine- thus demonstrating that drinking water could be produced to meet EPA standards without chlorine (or a similar agent) in both municipal and commercial applications.

The tap water you drink, shower or do laundry in on a daily basis may contain lead, chlorine, chlorination by-products, bacteria and other microorganisms.
The EPA estimates that lead poisoning is the number one environmental threat to children in the U.S.A. In fact, the EPA states that lead dosage that would have little effect on adults can be very harmful to small children leading to developmental issues, such as attention span and learning disabilities as well as kidney problems.
The EPA estimates that lead in drinking water contributes to 480,00 cases of learning disorders in children and 560,000 cases of hypertension in adults each year in the U.S.A. alone.
