How to stop Water Pollution - Cities Skylines (No Mods or DLC)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 окт 2018
- Hello! What is this?
This is a method that will let you get rid of sewage which without mods/DLCs can’t be eliminated.
How it works?
It works by putting OFF the Water Pumping Station (connected to nowhere) in a precise moment, which leads to an state that even with the Station OFF keeps “working” pumping water.
Once you place the Water Pumping Station and this one touches the water (or sewage in this case) starts to pump (the “blue” colour that I mention on the video). If you put the Pumping Station OFF before it goes OFF by itself (as it isn’t connected to anything and the game will detect that) you will notice that the Pumping Station keeps pumping water forever, at no cost.
If you don’t put the Station OFF it will go “OFF” by itself, stopping the work but keeping the maintenance cost (this is why I pause the game). This can only be fixed by eliminating the Pumping Station and placing a new one.
How did you find it?
All is based on a game exploit. It has been possible for long (at least 3 years), I did discover it by looking at the well-known video “I have Declared War on the Sea (Cities: Skylines)” of Persona Alienus. In that video the exploit is used to eliminate the sea, in this case I’m using it to eliminate sewage.
Hope it helps!

Words cannot describe how fantastic this is and how happy it’s made me! Thanks a lot 😁
Thanks to you my city is more clean now! The president of my world (srjuve) will be happy about that.
This a genuine life saver! I’m on the bay map so there’s no water flow. At first I just had some filters, and stuck my drainage pipes on a island, but it began to go near the city and made people ill, this genuinely saved me so much trouble
Happy to know! :)
Still working in 2019 and just lost my city because I accidentally save my test map to the the wrong save rip
:S, what a pity! Lots of poor citizens died because of the worst natural disaster ever, human error.
Hope your next city it's better ;) good luck!
Same thing that happened to me
I’ve done this before but on Elder Scrolls. now I always try to keep 2 save files of all my games just in case I ever accidentally delete one I have a back up.
Same thing happend for me everytime
R.I.P
I did this with sewage treatment plants and 4 pumps per plant plus a few extra pumps for safe measure. overflows a little when it rains and when your population goes up so make sure to add enough pumps and extras if you don’t want to keep going back to fix it.
Still works for Xbox One. Only need the same number of pumps as drain pipes, not more pumps. If you put more pumps, they never turn blue indicating their working, so they aren't needed.
True, thanks for sharing!
I never needed to wait for them to turn blue. I just placed them and it works
year 2021 its still working
Works on PS4, Works on 2020, So efficient. Thanks for sharing these tips!😁
You still liking comments even the video is 2 years.I'm impress...
Thanks TheBudui!!! ;) It really increases my happiness reading messages like yours
Thanks man! I’m decently new to the game and I don’t really know how to get rid of sewage that well and this just saved my city. Thanks again
Thanks to you Dino! It's a pleasure hearing it. Have a great day!
Even though this video is from 5 years ago its still works thank you for this amazing tip. I was suffering from water pollution this is a life saver and money saver
Yay! Finally I can make the floating café, restaurant pier, etc. I literally used to not be able to just bc the whole map would fill with poop 😂
This flooded my city thank you 😐
So it doesn’t work then
Just flooded mine too
Mine didnt flood
Lol
It worked for me for awhile but as my city grew I had to extend the canal and add more pumps.
I experimented with this trick, and found out that it still works even if you remove the water pumping stations once all drain pipes are up and running.
This won’t work since the deep canal will overfill with polluted water since you have nothing sucking up the water (water pumps)
@@LimitlessGamingRUclipsChannel Huh. I actually didn't think about that. Then again, I did recently delete the city I had this trick on, which I actually extended the canal by quite a bit. However, I think it has the same physics as water, which will cause it to evaporate.
This works! Posting this April 2020
, thank you man! New to the game and I hate to see my water polluted, I want to do fishing industry :)
Thanks HerasDeath! Good luck with that! :D
I seriously didn’t expect this to work but it saved my city
I'm glad to hear that mate ;)
Thank you so much for this working. Was running out of water due to river not giving enuff of a supply and ocean polluted. Now the question is how long will it take and can I speed up the pollution disappearing.
Thanks! and yes, you can use this same strategy in the polluted ocean, it will drain it aswell ;)
Hello, I'm playing this game on a XBOX ONE, and I have test your solution to stop water pollution, but in my city, I have used the Water Treatment Plant and it works!!!!!! And I have tested first with 5 Water Treatment Plants and with 7 Water Pumping Stations to see if it works. After, I have stoped the time and I have put more 5 Water Treatment Plans and more 7 Water Pumping Stations and... It works!!!!! Thanks for this trick!
Any screen shots?
This still works in 2023, you’re a legend
I can't believe this still works in 2022! Thanks a bunch!
:)
@@decapoli156 An Update: my water pipes were almost filled with sewage. The water had no current. With the new setup, I have all the water clean and I'm going to be expanding a lot in the new city :D
After awhile I had to extend the canal and add more pumps to prevent flooding. This does work.
I had a massive volcano that looked real disgusting, thanks to you I can just remove that now
I'm glad to hear it!
RT's poop volcano
ok......THIS video changes everything. Just what i'm looking for.
And probably added several hundred MORE hours to my play time. Thanx 😄👍
:D
Works on PS4, I did a 3/2 pump to drain ratio, 1/1 wasn't doing the job. Hopefully this will scale as needed.
Thanks bro that's the correct scale
i tried the original way and my canal quickly overflooded. If i keep a ratio of 3 dump stations to 2 water pumps, will it overload a canal? Do i need to keep digging a longer canal?
@@julesnominal1804 bro, it's 3 water pump (the ones that drain water) vs 2 dump station (the sewers) that way never had problem, sorry bad english
Dude you're a genius ! I've just started playing this game last month and I play it on PS4 so I tried this trick. This trick does really work on console and it's nice to see a beautiful sea water. Thank you so much.
Thanks mate! I really appreciate your comment :D Have a nice day!
Thanks
Excellent just what I needed, working on xbox one February 2020. Just follow the instructions, you need to disable the water pumps as they come on. You need to use the inspector to disable them.
Thanks Simon! Your appreciation makes me really happy :D
TYSM my entire city is now a water park of poop!😔
Sept. 2021 here, STILL WORKS OMG :D thanks for the Trick. Extremly useful for the start of the game if you dont want to pump sewage in the river. Hopefully the GameDevs will never see this video or fix that
Gonna try this on my lake city tonight. Thanks for the tip.
;) Thanks and good luck!
Just letting you guys know it still works in Aug 2020!! Thanks!!!
f180018 Ibrahim Imran cities skylines....
I just need to know why we need water pumping stations but turned off ..
Guys if you are going to use 1 water drain pipe then you need 2 water pump station but if you use 4 water drain pipe you need 4 water pump station so if you don't want to flood your city make sure to do it unless rip
Just started playing. Thanks alot
;)
Still works on ps4 (May 2020), great little set up and very easy to build, thanks for the video, it helped a lot, now my town water is much cleaner!
Thanks for the comment Nucl3ar! It makes me happy :)
@@decapoli156 got anymore tips for skylines? Would love to see more haha
@@xnucl3arch1ck3n9 Sorry mate xD, I'm kind of a casual player of Cities Skylines so I don't know anything more, at least that I think is good enough to show. However, maybe you can take a look at "T4rget Gaming" channel, he is a great builder, no mods, maybe you can learn from him how he uses auxiliary roads to make better shapes and have a "better looking" road/highway
;)
@@decapoli156 yeah awesome, thank you! I love the game but I'm also having trouble with highways and major intersections lol, might have a suss. Cheers mate, and again great vid, i like the tutorials that are straight to the point and helpful, this one was exactly that haha
@@xnucl3arch1ck3n9
thank you soo much plz upload more videos like this
Aug. 2020 still working, thank you so much brother, this is an amazing trick.
PD. Be careful with this one, you need to put it right next to the water body or it could flood your city
Still works in 2021 lmao. Finally I can stop making my shoreline brown
Glad to know! Thanks for your comment ;)
2023 surprisingly it still works
I found out about this by accident, i made a lake that was for fresh water using fresh water pump and pumping station at the bottom off the hole i dug with a waste outlet next to river to keep flow in and out consistent, when it filled there was to much going in and started overflowing so i turned off the fresh pump in and allowed the pump out to carry on until hole was empty, when it was empty turned pump out off and the fresh back on but this time the hole would not fill no matter how many fresh water pumps i used it would just disappear underground under the waste out pipe(which was off) so i repeated using my waste pipes from city and now that just disapears into a hole with no water in it💦🕳️😁
Huh strange lol but confirmed on XBOX!
Got it to work on a tropical map without good, running water! Thank you!!!
Lifesaver, now I don't have to waste so much space on canals for my sewage, thanks a lot 👍
Cool. However i still have TONS of polution in the sea from when i didnt use it
Thanks! And, don't worry for that, with time the pollution will disappear. And also, if you want to do it faster, you can use the same method on the sea, which will speed up the process.
Decapoli oh, ok!
Mr Reedling you can use the floating garbage collector in the sea but i think that’s an add on
The problem is the it's making people sick and someone told me that the pumping water is only intended for drinking and I removed the pumping water and then the deep canal started to flood.
xD, super fun! But mate, you didn't get the idea of this! You have to keep the pumps disconected from city pipes, they aren't connected so they don't poison the people of your city! Hope it helps, if I didn't express myself ask again ;) gl!
Decapoli if the pumps are just turned off and going nowhere why are they needed?
@@mikepalmer2219 Read the description.
how does this work though? Is it a bug that drains the sewage water but doesn't pump it into your water supply?
Yes! It doesn't pump into the water supply because you keep it disconnected. If you stop the video between 0:43 / 0:44 you will see that the "Water Pumping Stations" are connected to each other but to nothing else, and as they still work, pump to nowhere ;) (you have some more info on description)
This was super helpful thank you
Thanks! Comments like yours really boost my happiness!
Your welcome
Like the good fertilizer of happiness
@@bradymcentyre7275 Gratefulness :D
idk but when i did this i got a huge death wave and no I did not connect the pumps to my city
I prefer just making a giant poop volcano lake. After awhile though it overflowed and destroyed the town...
Maybe we should change all the video content to show people this idea, that will bring the sewage "solution" directly to the people xD
LOL
I did it once. It was like an utter shit storm, a tsunami of crap destroying 96k population city.
I was experimenting with making poop give power to my city ._.
@@decapoli156 do you know a way to get rid of the pollution after putting it in a contains area? Because it will even eventually overflow if there's no dish down steam flowing water. Jw.
@@zg3671 I think you can take care of it just using pumps, as the video shows. So, instead of having Drains and Pumps, just place Pumps where all the sewage is ;)
You can do the same to make a river dissapear :)
Hope it helps!
Thank you so much I got really far in then everyone was drinking polluted water and this saved my city thank you
🙂
Thank you so much you have helped me a lot
;) Thanks for the comment mate!
This is amazing! and weirdbut how does it work? If you don't turn them off were will it pump to?
It is! And about how it "works" it's unknown, just a game exploit, something forgotten in programming or something. If you don't turn them off they just stop working (they don't pump any water), they detect it's sewage going to nowhere so they put "Off" (even staying ON) themselves (once it happens you have to eliminate them and put new ones).
@@decapoli156 I subed cuz I need more and ok
Must eliminate all Water Drain Pipes.
Do you know of any exploits that are working in game as of now? I know that the “natural disasters” dlc allows for an easy waste solution but thats the only one that I can find.
Sorry, I only know this one. I guess there are a lot more, maybe you could find them on the Steam Cities Skylines forum or the one from Paradox Interactive (searching or asking for them). Good luck with that! ;)
Maan that is amazing! Thank you so much!
Thanks mate ;) Your compliment is really appreciated
i need a more detailed tutorial i guess bc it didn’t work for me 😩😭
Hey Courtney! No problem, a lot of times it's just a easy to solve mistake, usually at the last stage of putting off the pumps.
I encourage you to try it again step by step from scratch, without looking through your memories which are maybe wrong.
Keep in mind this 2 key points: The pumps have to be disconnected in a precise moment (as the video shows, when they turn blue) you have an small amount of time to do it, so maybe you should pause the game once you see one that turns blue. And 2nd point: remember to leave the new pumps disconnected from the main city pipelines!
Good luck, if you still have problems just ask again , we will sort it out.
;)
It flooded and there's sewage everywhere on land now. I'm guessing it's not supposed to flood? What did I do wrong?
xD, Sometimes it happens if you don't do the process step by step. Look again into it, specially the part of turning OFF the pumps. Also, keep in mind the number of pumps has to be bigger than the Drain pipes. If it keeps happening ask again, maybe it's something more complicated. Good luck!
Mate, first of all, thank you for the useful trick. It worked quite well at the beginning but now I have a problem. Water pumps seem inactive and sewage goes out of the water canal. I tried to demolish and rebuild water pumping stations but even though I turned them off after they got blue, they suddenly become grey (deactivated) again. Please help, otherwise, I will lose my city :/
Hey Volkan! Thanks for your comment ;)
I think your main problem is due to the number of pipes. Don't demolish them, just build new ones. If there is sewage to pump they will become blue and you will be able to put them off and keep the trick going.
I hope I'm able to help, if it is not the case ask again and we will work it out ;)
Have a great day!
@@decapoli156 Thanks for your quick reply. The new pumps turn blue so fast (more than one of them at the same time) I don't know if it effects them?
@@volkanokutkan8693 I don't think so, they turn blue faster because sewage is already acomulated i suppose :D It's been a pleasure mate!
@@decapoli156 At the end, I managed to solve the problem but I still don't know how long is it going to last :) Thanks again
@@volkanokutkan8693 Ask as many times as you need ;) Good luck!
Thank you so much! I needed something like that beacuse I dont like polution :)
:D, your welcome mate! thanks to you for boosting my happiness with your comment
No problem man :D
What is the point of the pumps? I am a bit confused.
They suck the sewage and transport it into the abyss
There is a building with a big (small) toxic leak in st. paul mn. Rice street left hand side (N). It was so bad I could smell it from a mile or two away. It has been there for hmmmmmm maybe 5 months. They could have put sand or dirt on it or something. About a mile and a half up the road is a water filtration place. (Side walk over head view)
I don't understand anything of what you said but seems cool
k
you’re a good man,thank you
edit:all of my citizens have poisoning,maybe i shouldn’t have connected the pipes
Thanks Alex! I appreciate your comment, it's a pleasure reading messages like yours.
Best regards for your citizens, but the owner of the video won't pay damages :)
@@decapoli156 can i speak to the manager of the video lol
This is genius! Thank you so much! It has made my cities so much better.
Thanks for the comment Sheri :D I'm glad it helps.
thx, hope this will solve my shitty sea problem
It will! ;) good luck Alexis!
2022 and it's still working
Didn’t seem to work on PS4. I think I did everything right but it just overflowed. Oh well... the attempt will be remembered as the Turd Tsuami of 2020. Thanks nonetheless.
Hello Anthony! xD, well, if you made a mistake it is probably in the ratio of pumps (need more pumps than sewage) or in the last step, once you put them "off" (maybe you did it late). Try to give it a try in another day, "reset" is the best cure for all mistakes :D thanks for sharing and good luck!
Please, sire, wouldst thou be so kind as to once more, pick up the game and do a video on decongesting train traffic?
İs it still works on 2023 ??
Yes it still works I've tested it on ps4
Does the canal have to be near water?
Hello Mangus! No, you can place it anywhere ;)
Plz help. My river has disappiered. Wtf? And when i put the water pumps to the ocean, the ocean is backing up and the pumps are in the ground, i cant supply my people and everybody dies
Mate, thanks. Your comment really made me laugh.
Don't worry, we will solve it!
The problem I think you have is related to your massive city population, isn't it? You have so many pumps (to get water to people) that the river and sea aren't enough, so the new pumps just don't have enough water and the sea becomes lower. If this is not the case ask again and we will find something ;)
To fix that I would use Water towers instead of so many pumps. Yes, you will need a lot as they have 1/2 of the capacity, but the river will survive.
Keep in mind of building the water towers on good soil! Poluted soil will do harm to your citizens.
Good luck mate ;)
At first I thought it was a prank but no
so Where does the waste go? and would that fill up in time cool video
Thanks! It just disappears, it's a game exploit, it absorbs it to nowhere ;)
I used 81 Tiles mod and dump the sewage off the map.
Fuuuuck, I skipped this video for days because i thinked that it was just modshit!!
May 22, 2020: Works in Xbox One
xD, thanks mate
I present to you it does not work 2022 sadly, but I will have to look for another video
yeah.. cant target it to turn it off (at least for me)
hello why do we have to turn off the water pumps ? but seems legit, def gonna try it on PS4
Followed all the steps but didn’t work. Turning on the pumps fixes the problem.
You can just put the sewer pipes down stream and you won't have sick people
So u just basically "destroy" your sewage? lmao nice
;)
Thanks a lot but I hate the face that there is cross signs on it it’s annoying
Thanks for the feedback James ;)
I'm glad it has been useful. Have a great day!
legend. tysm
You couldnt have added worse music. Nice video though.
Should I turn off the water treatment plant
s? Or I just need to delete the old water drain pipes?
Completely confused as to what was being accomplished by putting sewage pipes and freshwater pipes into the same drainage ditch?? And what about the use of the cleaner sewer drainage treatment plants?
The cleaner sewer are not needed (as all the sewage is "eliminated"). What is being done is using an exploit to eliminate the sewage by using pumps. Hope it answers your questions mate, also, try to read the description and look it again maybe you understand it this time ;) Good luck and thanks for viewing!
@@decapoli156 damn hopefully this works I just tried it and my game is still paused about to find out. You seem like a nice guy based on all your responses. Fingers crossed

Changing topics, maybe you can place a lot of drains into a dam and then remove the dam? :) good luck with your project!
God
For some reason it just stopped working for me do you know why, the canal just flooded
Do you have more pumps than drains? Maybe it is because of it (as the water can't be drained as fast as it should).
@@decapoli156 i have 4 drains and 5 pumps, i have the same system on another side of town thats attached to conpletely different pipes which is completely working fine but this one just stopped out of nowhere
Do i need more pumps maybe? Beacsue i added a lot of new pipes
@@turf9131 Hmm... seems it is well build. Maybe you should remove everything that doesn't work and start brand new. Be careful in the part where you have to put the pumps off, as maybe you were too slow and it didn't do the trick.
Good luck!
@@decapoli156 well i added extended the canal and put a lot more pumps and its working again, thank you
Sunset Harbor made this obsolete
Hey matt! I'm aware that there are some DLCs that let you clean the water, but many users don't have it, this is a solution to all those who need cleaning but don't have DLCs or Mods (as the title of the video says). Anyway, thanks for the information, have a good day!
Can you help please i have build the thing but the pumps aren't working only the Sawage is working i have sperated the pipes and connected the pipes its still dosent work what is the problem please aswear
Also i just found that Old version Shandy shours make the Sawage clean it still come out a bit but it usally clean in Shandy shours and Diamond coast is the hardest to keep sawage out
Also i play Cities skyline: Green City and all the dlc before green cities i dont have all the after green cities dlc
Mishael, I think you didn't follow all the steps! Try to look carefully at the part where you have tu turn Off the water pumps, seems it's where you are missing something.
Good luck!
Many thanks, works on PS4
:)
Thank you!!! Ocean was covered in poo! Works on Xbox One Nov 2020
;)
Good way to stop pollution ... but, it is not a very good way to get rid of pollution, because that makes citizens sick so I need to buy enough hospitals.
Hey mate, It seems that you didn't get the trick, try it again, it should work without getting citizens sick. Maybe, you did not disconnect the pipes from the city pipes. Good luck!
@@decapoli156 now my citizens are no longer sick,
because the pipes are not connected in the city, thanks :)
still works in 2020 nice :D
WHERE THE FUUUUUU DO I GET A DEEP CANAL
Works but then my river runs dry. What am I doing wrong?
Hello StillMaths! Hmm... Maybe you have a LOT of pumps because your city is huge? Then your water consumption is so big that the river can't keep with it. I would suggest, if this is the case, that you move your pumps to the sea, then the river can flow and the sea water keeps the city going.
If this is not the case ask again! We wil find a solution ;)
Good luck!
Did this work?
@@seanthepowerdavies I figured out later that I had messed up the physics of the river and therfore it stopped flowing sufficiently. Nothing to do with the video in the end. Thanks for the advice though.
This is Pollution Solution for console players
I did this and it worked but my sewage eventually over flowed into my city. Is this supposed to happen or did I do something wrong?
I saw your other replies about this. More pumps than sewage which I have. And I followed the tutorial exactly. Any other ideas why it would over flow?
Hello meow! I'm grateful you take a look at the other comments
@@decapoli156 Thanks ill try that. Appreciate the reply.
My sewage flooded a part of my city, is There a way to unpollute water? I have so much sewage and no Soil to move it, i have a real problem
This trick should work, but the pumps have to be placed in the lowest spot, so then all the sewage keeps coming to them until it drains it all.
Good luck with it mate, anything you need about it just keep asking!
hi. i make the same to one of my city but ii had big problem all the polution waters was out out after some time and i had again dirty city ..... and i make new canals all over and still the same flooding out all.... and how can i make emty the canals ? plz
Hello Thanasis! I think that maybe you can solve that by adding more pumps. You have to keep the number of pumps higher than the drains or it will flood.
Good luck with it ;)
@@decapoli156 hi . the pumps with fresh water must be - on - always same time with others pumps ?
@@athens13a No, you can put them independently. The important part is to have water in the canal and to stop in this precise moment ;)
How do you prevent that from over flowing? Do you just leave the pumps off?
Hey Mike! Read the other comments mate, you will find your answer.
In short, put more pumps ;)
Good luck
Tried this. It didn't seem to be that effective unfortunately. Main issue was the ratio here kept putting us way under sewage capacity.
Hey Dane! Put more pumps, it should always work if they are working properly as shown in the video (nº pumps >= nºsewage). Good luck with that!
U fucking genius bro love this
Does this work to clean up existing Water Pollution? There is an area of my bay/ocean that has no current and the Pollution just stays there, even if I'm pumping it to somewhere else...
Yes it does! It will do it in any liquid (river, sea, or sewage)
@@decapoli156 Thanks for the reply =] (subbed!).
Let me clarify my question: I have converted my water/sewer system to the method described in your video. It is working to dispose of the sewage from my city with 0% pollution.
However, the pollution left over from before is still sitting in my water, and does not seem to be going away. Does it just take a really long time for this to happen? Or do I need to do something like set up another pump system to suck it out?
EDIT: I see after playing for a bit more in my game that the Water Pollution DOES slowly move away, even if there is little/no current. So I guess one just needs to be patient, and wait for that toxic sludge to become someone else's problem =P
@@luckyduckydrivingschool3615 Yeah! You guessed it right! However, if you want to speed up the process, you can place pumping stations in the spots where the sewage is. If it is very far away from the coast, maybe the best option is just to let time do the job ;)
Thanks for your comments mate
@@decapoli156 Hey, so I just started my game again today and I think I found one flaw in this strategy....
So there was a massive rainstorm which caused the water level to rise everywhere, including in the closed-off Canal. Eventually it flooded and the polluted water spilled out everywhere... luckily I built it near the sea where it was able to drain off and did not threaten my population, but I thought I would just point this out. The Canal is not bulletproof, it may require some maintenance from time to time...
@@luckyduckydrivingschool3615 Yes it does mate! Good find. It's because when you have the same number of pumps and drains it stays in equilibrium. Then you need one pump more, and the job is done again ;)
The problem is that it's not easy to place more pumps than drains, as you need water to start the pump and maybe the water never goes near the pump because the other pumps have sucked it.
Also, as this video was done not to achive such a high audience, it still has its flaws. I tried to keep it short, but I forgot to mention problems as the one you are describing. However, I hope and see, that you have the necessary tools to fix it :)
Thanks for your comments mate, good luck
