How Dry I Am

With Jordan quickly approuching 25.000 citizens the freshwater spring underneath the town is starting to run a bit short. There simply is not enough water to go around and most people on the outskirts of town don't have running water at all. Since the first watertower was built in Jordan engineers had already been working on a bigger alternative, they knew damn well that the sping wouldn't last forever.

At the Westwood city hall the plans had been made and the blueprints stashed away in some filing cabinet. As much as Jordan needed another source of fresh water, it simply couldn't be realized. The construction of the two additional power plants a few years back drained a lot of the cash reserves the city had for Jordan. A multi million dollar water treatment plant was simply to expensive. And that's where Coldwater saw an operitunity once again. Coldwater would lend Westwood the money at a 7% interest rate. Westwood didn't agree to this and managed to talk it down to 5% and with that the deal was done.

The construction of the plant was soon started and was completed just 3 months late, on June 23rd, 1920.

With state of the art technology, this plant is capable of converting salt water to sweet water. It also functions as a water treatment plant, filtering raw sewage back to fresh drinkable water.

Did you know:

- That 'howdryiam' is the cheatcode in Simcity 4 to remove the water demand in a city?

- That Simcity 3000 had facilities that could convert salt water to sweet water and that any water connected to the edge of the map was considered salt?
