Water is one of the necessity of life. Sims, businesses and industries need water to function. Without a continuous supply of water, buildings will close down. Building a water tower or water pumping station on a ground water reserve will supply the city with water. Ground water can be polluted by sewage and other ground pollutants. Polluted water can cause Sims to become sick. Construct your water towers away from Sewage Outflow Pipe, Garbage Dump and industrial buildings.
- Water flows through roads to reach various zones and structures
- Be sure to keep your water towers away from ground pollution.
Water Distribution Structures
Water Tower
- Main article: Water Tower
Water towers are cheap and reliable structures that can be used to supply the city with water.
- They must be built on top of groundwater reserves.
A single water tower can supply thousands of sims with water.
- It is perfect for early game and small towns.
Water Pumping Station
- Main article: Water Pumping Station
Water pumping station is an expensive structure used to supply a large city with water.
- Its initial cost is very high.
One water pumping station generates more than 10 times more water per hour than a water tower.
Water Maps
Water table - shows the water table map. It indicates the optimal locations to build the water tower.
Ground pollution - shows the locations and severity of ground pollution and the buildings producing the pollution.
