Does the water from the city also come from rain water? Is there a place in the community that catches it?

Question

I see these water towers, but do they also use them to catch rain to make more water for the city?

Answer 1

Water does not come from the city, most of it is piped into the city from rural sources.

Rain catches are rarely used for a water sources.

The water towers are used to maintain a steady pressure in the pipes.

The actual sources vary from city to city. It may be from wells, reservoirs, or rivers, or a combination of these.

Answer 2

Citiies but mostly outlying areas provide water for the city.
