Close to a century?

There are Roman aqueducts in continuous operation for two millenia.



AFAIK there is one still in operation and entirely for tourist purposes


Today as in Ancient Rome the aqueduct terminates at fountains. It does not connect to the standard modern municipal plumbing. Whether that counts as being operated for "tourist purposes" is a matter of definition.
