How does the water that comes out of your taps stay clean enough to drink as it travels through the pipes from the water treatment plant to your house?

The pressure keeps contaminants out most of the time. But occasionally the addition of new homes/businesses and water line breaks/repairs will allow intrusion of dirt and other contaminants. If it is severe enough, the system may be shut off at points and flushed out. If you happen to live at the very end of a water system distribution, you might see water being flushed out frequently.
