The Aqua Tepula is an ancient Roman aqueduct completed in 125 BC by censors Gnaeus Servilius Caepio and Lucius Cassius Longinus Ravilla: 147 : 339 . The water the aqueduct carried was tepid, and probably thus unpalatable: 404 . It is not known how much water the original aqueduct carried, but the amount conducted to the city was smaller than that of the Aqua Marcia: 147 . After a (major) reconstruction by Agrippa in 33 BC the aqueduct delivered to the city daily 400 quinariae: §68 (394-5)  -- 17,800 m3 (4,700,000 US gal): 347 .
