First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline, Water pipeline in Rax-Schneeberg region, Austria.
The First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline extends 120 kilometers from the Rax-Schneeberg mountains to Vienna, delivering 62 million cubic meters of water annually.
Emperor Franz Joseph I inaugurated the First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline on October 24, 1873, during the Vienna World Fair, marking a solution to water shortages.
The Waterpipe Museum at Kaiserbrunnen presents exhibits, artifacts, and multimedia displays documenting the development of Vienna's water infrastructure since 1973.
The pipeline supplies 53 percent of Vienna's water requirements through a gravity-based system that connects to 1,300 municipal drinking fountains across the city.
By 1888, the system achieved a 90 percent connection rate to residential buildings, transforming Vienna from well-dependent to having centralized water distribution.
