Learn how SimCity 2000 Treatment Plants reduce pollution, their $500 cost, and 1935 availability.

Treatment plants are crucial buildings for reducing the overall pollution levels within your SimCity 2000 metropolis. To function effectively, these plants require a consistent supply of electricity and must be connected to your city's water system. If your city currently lacks a water system, you can still benefit from a treatment plant by constructing it as a standalone structure. However, once you establish a water system, it is essential to connect the treatment plant to it for optimal performance.

It is important to note that treatment plants themselves generate a modest amount of pollution.

  • Electricity
  • Connection to a water system (optional if no water system exists)
