In my previous house, for some bizarre reason, one water pipe ran from the street to a point in someone's garden, from where the pipe split and fed several properties by pipes running across the gardens. If we even needed to turn it off for plumbing works, we turned off several houses.
Old water pipes (still in use) can be iron/steel. But so can gas pipes. So be careful.
