when you want to give utilities to other cities in need
you have to be in the city you started the service you want to provide to your other cities for a few mins
make sure that the city you started the service such as power is on and running also make sure that it is supplying power
once you have made sure the following is set you may now go to your other city and see if the service is set up to buy
this takes about a few mins of game time
its best if you set the speed up to two arrows to make sure time is going by quick
remember ppl one city can handle a work load for two connecting cities
so you could plop one town hall with all the upgrades and add ons
and just plop a regular town hall witn no upgrades and such
and that one city that has the fully upgraged town hall will run your other two cities
it just takes 30 mins for it to see this
also helps if you visit or play each city for 30 mins
as each city takes 15 mins to refresh it self
