Trivia:[]
• Water has the least amount of buildings of any service.
• Basic Water Tower has a lower unit-price (667 Simoleons per unit) than Water Pumping Station has (818 Simoleons per unit). Normally it’s a better choice to build some Basic Water Towers instead of a Water Pumping Station.
• Originally Water had a different icon.
• Originally the Sim who was in charge of water was different.
