While the article doesn't mention it these water mains are made of wrought iron. This one was put in service about 1870 ! Not too bad a service life .All but forgotten it was a common material back then.

I should probably mention there are also in this same book references to many other different terminologies (in addition to "cast iron" also mentioned on this thread) , and maybe in some cases some different actual piping including "black iron", "wrought iron", "wrought steel", and "wrought ferrous" pipes! [What you actually have may thus be dependent on who you ask, and their knowledge of all specific nuances involved in these subjects!
RE: Wrought Iron !!
It is interesting to note that all the underground piping was pneumatically tested.
