Because the water which pH value is less 7is basis water more or equal its a acidic or presence of alkali or organic matter and minerals so maintain the pH value nearly equal to 7 for construction economy.

The Water used for the construction activity should be free from acids, and the pH below 7 indicates presence of acids in the water, Thus, it won't be fitful for the construction activity.

Basically the pH value should be maintained nearly by 7.

Water used for mixing and curing shall be clean and free from injurious amounts of oils, acids, alkalis, salts, sugar, organic materials or other substances that may be deleterious to concrete or steel.
