Waste water powered town

[WandererRTF]

So. That. I present to you the Greywater falls:

Generating about 250 MW power - enough to cover my needs together with that windfarm. Created that one accidentally. I was trying to utilize the existing river for hydropower but the water pumps sucked it dry so only thing floating were the stuff coming from drain pipes and (more recently) water treatment plants. The current river upstream from the treatment plants is just stuff from fresh water outlets pipes. Since that stuff ain't exactly clean i was wondering if it is possible to re-treat the water to make it cleaner... It might also allow for another dam to be build next to that one...

Ha. Quite interesting. Never seen a similar approach.

I'd thought about doing something comparable, even made an attempt at it already prior to that post. I just didn't have the same luck he did with it, as I only netted about 24MW from that attempt. I might have to revisit that attempt later and do some more terrain shaping beforehand.

this was very popular when the game first came out as was building a huge dam above a town then deleting the dam when there was loads of sewage behind it
