The Aqua Tepula is an ancient Roman aqueduct completed in 125 BC by censors Gnaeus Servilius Caepio and Lucius Cassius Longinus Ravilla[1]: 147 [2]: 339 . The water the aqueduct carried was tepid, and probably thus unpalatable[3]: 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[1]: 147 . After a (major) reconstruction by Agrippa in 33 BC the aqueduct delivered to the city daily 400 quinariae[4]: §68 (394-5)  -- 17,800 m3 (4,700,000 US gal)[5]: 347 .
