Hello there. Today, I began a new city in my multiplayer region in My Colony. I haven't played My Colony since a long time ago. I do know how the game and most units and buildings function, but I want to address previous experiences that may arise in my city in the future. Previously, two primary factors came into play that impaired my ability for my colonists to survive. The first factor is the sheer shortage of water when a city has ~>20k residents (I think), and the other is high health concerns from colonists (which in turn lead to high hospitalization). I think that the former caused the latter because, in the real sense, people often get dehydrated if they don't drink water, and some may even die. Because of these issues I may face in the future development of my towns and cities, if you have any, please share any advice you have for me regarding these problems. Thank you, and have a wonderful day and the rest of the year!

Additionally, I want to point out another additional issue that may arise later in-game. Recently, in my new city, I noticed that I'm paying my workers heavy payroll more often, and the taxation rate is high. Is there any viable solution to this?
