Here in Evanston when they were replacing some of the older pipes (we still have plenty of lead) they were removing some of the original original "pipes" by Northwestern. It wasn't even a pipe, it was basically a brick aqueduct built sometime in the 1880s. I wish I had saved those pictures they posted but it's been lost to the sands of time.
I would have loved to see that picture! I've made the mistake of opening up some 50, 60 year old main water lines and looked inside them to see all the gunk and build up... it's so gross lol
