PHANTOM WATER PUMP TRICK
Here is a way to fool SimCity 2000 into thinking you
always have a water surplus and make those water shortage
messages go away. Before you add any water pumps to your
city, do the following:
1. Pick an area on the outskirts of your city and de-zone
   a 3x3 grid
2. Place a single water pump in the center of this grid
3. Connect the water pump to power
4. DO NOT connect any pipes to this pump
Now go back to building your city. Pretty soon you will
see the water shortage messages go away and if you open
your graph window and select water, you will see that
the line has shot up to maximum capacity. E-Mail me if you have any questions
or comments!
