Sewage water - coastal towns

[Snekko]

One of the new European maps doesn't have "water flux arrows" that help the sewage water "go away" and I'm ending up with a purple ocean all along my city. I don't remember its exact name but it was something like "cliffs". Does the pollution go away eventually or it will turn out to be a good punishment for polluting the seas?

I used water towers on that map.. pollution gathered in the bay area and didn't fade until I switched to water treatment plants. but really water pollution doesn't matter so long as your citizens aren't drinking it (water towers ftw)

start with water towers for clean water and buy land tiles to the other part of the map where you can draw fresh water

It's just that the buildings that were close to that water were complaining about health issues due to land pollution (I suppose land pollution generated over contact with water pollution (?)). Plus, the pink ocean doesn't suit any city at all. -.-)V

If there's no current in the water that carries the stuff off the map, then it doesn't disappear, as far as I can tell.
All you can do about it is to get some sewage treatment plants off the workshop so you don't have to dump it into the sea, and/or build some pumps (not connected to your water supply system, of course!) to suck the stuff back up.

on that map this is what i did:

on starting area, water towers for water, sewage on the beach, as far out as possible.

once i got the tile that accesses ocean to the right side thats where i put the water treatment plants (the ones from basic game, not workshop) and water pumps on the original beach, on the side that was clean.

i havent checked yet but i think after a long while the first dirty beach will dissipate and clean up.

On that map I did 2 things:
Firstly, I use the Eco Friendly Sewage Pump in most of my cities, which filters the sewage and pumps it deep underground. This ensures no polluted water anywhere and produces no water.

Secondly, I edited the map and gave it a river. This particular map has 2 natural pathways for one or two rivers and it was very easy when I chose to make one river in my case. It will create a large lake in the low inland basin.
