This stuff reminds me of the like 200 year old wooden water pipes in NYC. NYC still uses wooden water towers, too.

In Santa Rosa, California about 10 years ago a pipe was replaced that was made out a redwood log. It had been there a very, very long time. I’m not sure if it was sewage or water.

That water main break caused a boil order and low pressure/no pressure for a large part of the city of Atlanta (including all of downtown) for 4 days.
