Water main (4)

I believe the answer is:

pipe

(Other definitions for pipe that I've seen before include "At sea, signal arrival" , "Utter shrilly; wine cask" , "Tube with bowl for smoking tobacco" , "Tube to carry water, gas etc" , "Meerschaum" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
