The Romans had lead piping and aqueducts around the time of Christ. This was live pipe, not just drainage.

The Qanat system in Iran feeds fresh water underground from mountain snow melt to the dry interior. They are essentially brick-lined tunnels accessed by vertical shafts. Some date from at least 2000 B.C, possibly older, and are still working today.

I believe it was the Romans who first created a modern-style plumbing system on a large scale. Not sure of the date but it was a couple thousand years ago.
