Role in the city

Sewage treatment is the other half of the water cycle. Extra water without sewage capacity still blocks growth.

Placement advice

Keep it near the utility corridor and away from high-value homes. It supports growth but should not occupy premium land.

When to build or upgrade

Upgrade sewage whenever water supply expands or population growth starts pushing the system near capacity.
