Learn about SimCity 2000 Water Towers, their $250 cost, 40,000 gallon capacity, and how they store excess water.

Water towers are essential structures in SimCity 2000 for storing surplus water. Each tower has a capacity of 40,000 gallons. Any water not consumed by your city is automatically stored in the water tower, ready for use during periods of water shortage, such as drier months. A visual indicator of the remaining water can be observed by looking at the tiles beneath the water tower that have running water in the pipes; each tile roughly corresponds to 10,000 gallons of stored water.

  • Must be powered.
  • Must be connected to the water system.
Tips
  • Monitor the tiles underneath the water tower for a rough estimate of remaining water.
  • Ensure consistent power and water connections for the tower to function.

Details:

  • Cost: $250 per tower.
  • Size: 2x2 tiles.
  • Capacity: 40,000 gallons.
