Well that's true, but the description and your interpretation is missing something. The water of the pipes is the unclean water filtered, that means that the unclean water is the pure reality, while the filtered one is lacking something. It's so because as we witnessed the unclean water (the truth) makes life unlivable, so we need to filter what makes it like that. That also represents the point of the story, the absolute paradox between a world of truthful stagnation or a world of deceitful progress (conflict).
