Water Sourcer right now is a job that, mechanically, does not have to ever be done. Once you set things up the first time, water is continually added, and regardless of some if it being tainted or not, approval never dips low enough to be mechanically tossed from the job.
Worse still, as water sourcers simply don't have to ever check the water, this results in a negative hit to the associated city's health, which negatively impacts the Medical Head, meaning the Medical Head has to personally do what should logically be the water sourcer's job for the best results of their job, which also makes it so that the water sourcer gets even more money for doing nothing, as well as more approval.
I, personally, sat with an application for water sourcer for two months for a city while the water was not once ever checked, until I finally sat around and burned 2500 mental stamina checking all 500 unchecked water so the city health would stop going down despite the medical head meeting their quota within the first couple hours every time.
Water Sourcer needs either a large change to its quotas and interactions, or, since virtually nobody actually intends to use it for the IC (The point of the roles system), it should be removed.
