Does it no longer rain in Simcity?
Title pretty much says it all I could have sworn it rained in the beta. I have been playing for hours on end and haven't seen the first drop of rain.

I never played the beta but I remember it raining when the game first launched. I haven't seen it since the 1.1 or 1.2 update though. I have a city with no access to the region and don't have space for the sewage treatment/water pump work around.
Really need it to rain.
Rain does not recharge the water table. Knock off the rain dancing.
Also, this is the beta.
As it stands, if you want sustainable water, build your pump next to your sewage treatment plant. The sloshing poop-water DOES recharge the watertable. One of the countless workarounds you have to employ if you want to build a city in this non-simulator city.
I know I don't want to drink poop-water in real life.
If rain doesn't replenish the water table to any degree then why does the sim in the water tab say that 'rain replenishes the water table'.
Having the same problem and there is no one who is selling water in my region.
Nice workaround with the sewage treatment plant but that only tells me that the devs loved the middle ages a lot. 🙂
Back then, it was living with sewage and water simultaneously. No wonder my sims in the city are getting sick all the time. A new disaster not listed: Amoebic Dysentery.

The water is being filtered and treated, and dumped back into the water table as fresh clean water. If you use this method, you also can just use the regular water pumps and don't need the more expensive water filtration pumps.
If your sims are getting sick all the time, it's likely due to pollution. Check the ground and air pollution maps - you can get rid of ground pollution by planting forests and air pollution by planting those roadside trees. You have to be pretty consistent on this, but it will clean them up. I plant the roadside trees downwind of all factories, and plop forests every month or so.
