Left and right of the path through the Siq in the direction of the Treasury, the remains of water pipes that were once several kilometers long can be seen. They were developed together with the system of protection against spring tides and the paved road and in the last decades of the 1st century B.C. created.

A water channel covered with stone slabs ran in the rock face. In some places there were settling tanks to reduce the pressure and to precipitate lime and other substances carried in the water. You could drink from at least four fountains along the way.
