City Skylines does have one form of pollution you didn't mention: Noise pollution. People next to busy streets get sick and die from the noise.
Water pollution generally only happens when a player starts sucking out too much water from a river and reverses its flow.
I do agree that the mass dieoffs from a single drop of polluted water are probably too much. A significant production drop as people are under a boil water advisory at first might be better, and only becoming a major die off if you neglect to fix the problem. The water treatment plant could be more interesting if people were always dying at a low/modest rate from even "clean" river water until you built it.
