Treatment of the Poor

The poor, especially the indentured servants are given cramped conditions to live in and have long work hours.

Water Station

The Water is drawn from near the middle of the island by water wells and rainwater collection fields. About 250,000 m² of land area is covered by the rainwater collection systems.

Water storage can hold up to 5 billion liters of water. Water in the Harrisville and Willow Hills is rationed to limit water use. The Irondale and Green Acres also has water rationing, but that rationing does not apply to the farmlands nor the factory use.

Sewage Station
