I am creating an urban environment that is robust from interruption for my university project.
The problem I am facing is that I am not sure how to make each turtle follow a specific network line. The black line represents the electricity cable and the blue line represent the underground water pipe. I am not sure how to create a turtle to follow the network line to be consumed by the house or the big buildings. Also, please bear in mind that I only just started learning Netlogo so any improvements in the coding itself are much appreciated.
This is the current code for the urban environment model. Also, is it even possible for a turtle to follow a specific line?

This is the image of what my model currently looks like and NetLogo whole image is what I imagine how my model will work as I haven't started doing the go procedure.
The model can be found in the following GitHub repo:
