Water and Sewage in Cities: Skylines
At the very beginning of building a new city, you have to take care of the water network. Citizens must always have access to sources of drinking and clean water; otherwise, they can get sick and die. Build water pumping stations and water towers to supply citizens with water regularly.
However, in addition to drinking water, there is also a way to deal with sewage through drain pipes that are connected to the water supply network. Drain pipes can cause water pollution, so place water treatment plants that will process the sewage before being thrown into the water. Be careful not to place sewage plants upstream of the water supply of the building, as drinking water can potentially pollute and impair the health of citizens. So, put it downstream to avoid this kind of problem.
In order for these plants to function, they need a power source. Choose wind turbines, for example, and connect them to buildings so they can have the power to do their job.
