Role in the city
Water facilities decide whether otherwise connected homes, shops, and services can operate.

Build on the coast and leave room for sewage nearby. A compact water corridor is easier to expand than scattered shore buildings.
When to build or upgrade
Add water before opening a new residential cluster, not after empty buildings already appear.
