The main conduit for distributing potable water is the water main. It acts as the backbone of the distribution system, carrying treated drinking water from the treatment plant through the network to feeders, smaller mains, and service connections, while maintaining the necessary pressure and flow. The sewer main carries wastewater, not drinking water; a lift station pumps wastewater to higher elevations; and a force main is a pressurized pipe used to move wastewater under pressure.
