How it works
A free tap of low-grade water (80% to just under 90% purity, changing daily), so you stop buying water. The Working Pipes starting perk gives it from day 1.
Routes that use lots of water
What it does
Your tap gives Gutterflow for free; its purity changes every day.
Rating
Free raw water is useful only with recurring water demand and a way to handle its contamination. The daily purity range is 80–89.99%; unlimited volume does not make it suitable for every use.
A narrow use, a high price or a nightly fee usually makes fixing your current business the better spend. Buy it only for a specific plan.
When stock is piling upIf finished goods already accumulate, postpone expanding raw-water supply unless maintaining existing stock needs it.
When production falls shortBuy if water procurement is the actual shortage and treatment is ready; raw water cannot fix an unpowered tank or failed purifier.
