A water treatment plant cleans the water within a certain radius so look at
the water pollution map and build another treatment plant, or move your
existing one so that there is no pollution then your sims will stop
complaining.

Look on the crime map and see if there are any areas not covered by a police
station, also ordinances can help reduce crime.

Also remember that SimCity mimics real-life all too realistically at times,
so no matter what you do or how hard you try, people will always bitch &
moan :-)
