If you want a hint: the water merchants in the hub will point you in the direction of the next stage of the water chip quest.

I can't remember exactly, but one of the people there mentions during a conversation that a certain city/town doesn't buy water from them and that they seem to have their own source.
*Further elaboration.

Scots:The town that has the chip is necropolis. If you chat with the water merchants and have a high enough speech/intelligence. If not its a bit too the east of the hub. Don't be afraid to wander a bit.
suliman: No weapon damage is absolute. Just think of skill as a "to hit" thing. Though the critical chance is amplified if you have a little knowledge about fallout anatomy. A high to hit helps that immensely.

Will raising a weapon skill affect the damage as well, or will it only raise the accuracy?
No damage increase, just better accuracy, especially when doing aimed shots. But don't go overboard in Fallout you only need about 95% on a given skill to reach 'maximum efficiency'. Sure you cant put more points in it, but you won't see as much difference.
@Scots : try to do some quests in The Hub before venturing further, some of them have useful rewards.

My first time through I wound up finding the water chip purely by chance- I'd decided to explore Necropolis simply 'cuz talking to Killian put it on my map... there's not much in the game to explore.

I hit necropolis prior to the hub and wasted a bunch of zombies before realising I couldn't see much else, got bored and left.

Those big 'ol manholes in the ground ain't just decoration, mang.

followed by supermutants and they rob Vault 13. But don't know where I have read about it, in the Fallout Bible or in the localized text files I have once studied... Perhaps it was one of the removed endings or something...?

However there are perks - Sharpshooter, Bonus Ranged Damage, (other?) - which add regular damage to your ranged attacks. But you must meet certain prerequisites for their availability. RTFM.

Frankly said Scots' playing style made me chuckle few times... but when I remember my first play, I wasn't too far from that! :cheeky:
Fallout is one of those games which are getting better with every new campaign.

I tried to do the Killian mission straight but couldn't stop insulting that fat fuck and kept killing him right then and there, too much fun!
