Hi, I recently installed SNM naval packs (which are great) and added them in a city. One problem that arises from these lots is that they become "abandoned due to lack of water" while just under it, the indicator shows that they are watered. I checked, there is no shortage of water in my city (I tried adding the large pump). I also filled the whole underground of the buildings with water pipes just in case, but I can't get the buildings to start running. How would I go about making them work and not having very ugly abandonned lots?
Please note that there are no brown boxes involved in any parts of the process, and that I have all the DEDWD dependencies listed, and the required ones for the specific lots.
Thank you
Could you query those SNM lots that have become abandonded, and post their names here?
Of course, here are screenshots, with what I think are queries:

If you need any more info, I'd be happy to oblige
[Edit: I did tag the pictures, but they don't seem to show up, so I have included links as well]
EDIT:
Fixed those images for you,

This doesn't make sense at all...
My first suspicion was that those lots would have had a water consumption of 0.
Thus, asking for 0 gallons of water, getting 0 gallons of water, and thus complaining they are not getting any water...
However, all five buildings above have a small, but positive water consumption...
That message seen in your laste image... "Water 101: The Dry Zone and Its Discontents",
appears if more than 30% of you city's buildings are without water...
Could you check your water production and consumption graph for this city?
I assume you're not exporting any water to neighbouring cities?
Actually, the message was for the other half of the city (plain Maxis and CAM) which I did not connect to the water system in order to investigate the problem. I have a capacity of about 22000, with a consumption of 500-1000...
I tried the buildings in other cities, and they worked just fine.
Then I figured that maybe these lots don't like it when they are plopped down with no population available (I added the non-SNM zones afterwards), they remain vacant for some reason. And that did the trick, they seem very happy now at producing $$ industrial jobs ;D
Why did it happen, I have no idea, but I sure will be more careful next time!
Thank you so much!
I think once a ploppable abandons it doesn't ever regenerate. So if these abandoned before you put water in putting water in won't help, you'd have to replop them.
