Why filter water for use with buildings services?

Building services has several links to the water treatment industry but while a common perception is that you don't have to worry if your building is on a mains supply, the reality is that operators are now responsible for the condition of the water right through to it coming out of the tap. This means that regulations dictate that where water is stored, secondary disinfection is now essential. Where there are less regulations, guidance is offered by the WHO water treatment guidelines here. 

There are many types of filtration systems that could be required for these applications but most of them are fairly simple, either controlling bacteria growth (in accordance with L8).
