My citizens keep complaining about sewage but I have enough sewage pipes for the whole town I don't know what the problem is.

Make sure they are all connected to roads and that the sewage is away from your housing area. You should be able to see how they are flowing when you click to move them. I put mine next to the factories and the businesses. Maybe that is the issue with your citizens?

@19Larsson61 A screen shot would be very helpful.One common mistake that leads to lot of confusion could be:You have two (or more) separate road maps in your city which are not connected to each other. That leads to two separate sewage systems as well. While one sewage system is adequately supplied, the other system is undersupplied.So you have to take care, that all your roads are reachable from any other road in your city.Hope this helps, good luck.

@catdude383 The majority of the time this issue is created by either your residences or services not having road access or your roads are not connected. In addition confirm if you have sufficient capacity to cover all residences (regardless of population size). Good luck.

@Superpraesi That saved me!! I had 2 different roads which caused the problem! Thanks!!

Thank you! This fixed my problem. My sewage pipes were connected to roads and they were away from the houses. They were next to the factories but I moved them more towards the houses and it worked. So not sure why I couldn't have them next to my factories. Thank you so much!! You fixed my problem.

My house and my sewage pipes are next to a road. I have enough sewage pipes for all of my houses, but this one house does not connect no matter where I put it. Nothing I have tried works

Hey @19Larsson61

Could you please keep the discussion in English? 🙂 I'm afraid we do not provide forum support in Swedish and this way more people will be able to understand your message.

Thanks!
