The Water Mafia

The Water Mafia controls the underground networks that supply ZOZO CITY. When a neighborhood runs short of water, it often knows the solution before the problem even begins.

Every liter is traded for money, information, or a favor whose bill arrives later. Good payers call it reliable service; the others say less.

No one officially knows who runs the network, and everyone knows whom not to ask. Whoever controls the faucet never needs to raise their voice.
