My concern would be that with the high-end nanotechnology and all, once something in here breaks, local resources would not be able to do much to fix it.

A valid concern. I don't think this is the "end" solution. I think the real solution is developing a country to the point it has water treatment facilities and proper sewage systems.

This of this as a potential intermediary step. If families are not wasting time being sick due to water borne diseases, they can work, save, and invest.

Nope. Only distillation would work in that case I believe. AFAIK, no nano-tech filter can filter out chemicals (not even the fancy LifeSaver bottle seen in that TED talk which does the same thing but costs 100x more).
