When you have both Sewer System and Aqueducts in a city, is it ok to sell the aqueducts and still maintain population growth (i.e. greater than size 12)?

I believe the city will simply stop growing....but not decrease in size......

Yeah, if you lose your aqueduct, it will halt growth. So, yes, you must maintain both forever if you wish to keep growing.

I believe they also have an effect on citizen's contentment.

hmmm.... now I am thinking.... has anyone actually destroyed enemy aqueducts/sewers? when I send the spies in to sabotage, I always stop once the city walls fall - I don't believe I have ever destroyed a 'city size improvement'.

Well only a fool would want to sabotage an acqueduct or sewer system (no offense to the fools
).
Why?
You sabotage cities to make them either cheaper to buy or more vulnerable to attack right? In any case, youll want those things when you take the city and destroying them doesnt do anything to improve your chances or deter theirs......
Of course if you just like causing havoc and being a bastard, I guess destroying these wonders for fun might be an option

At the risk of being a fool, I have sabotaged aqueducts in opposing cites if they are Democracy or Republic. If the city is too large (expensive) to buy at first, sabotage the aqueduct and then start poisoning the water supply. If the aqueduct/sewer system is still available the city will just celebrate back to size next turn. This allows one or two spies to reduce a city and buy it over the course of 5 to 10 turns. (Usually the city is supporting so many units that it's production is one or two sheilds a turn -- so while it's tring to rebuild the aquaduct, you gain money and reduce the city size to an affordable cost.)

Only a fool or a writer. The only time I've done this, I was a writing a story, and I knocked out some aquaducts to slow the AI/Zulu's approach to the Nucleur Option so I could maintain the pacing of the storyline.

Yep, that's the rule of thumb ...
Never harm a city that's gonna be your's anyways!

Yeah, dont destroy stuff you're gonna have to rebuild.
I sometimes hit the temple/coll/cathedral improvements, so they have a civil disorder, then they're cheaper to revolt.
Also, i move in with my battleships, so i take out the coastal fortresses as well - which is much easier than taking out city walls.

If you hit 'em with 10 spies per turn then they don't get chance to celebrate back up.
