9234646 BY that logic, greatswords seem easy to lift with their weight, if they weigh 5.5 in imperial measurements.
I was about to object mightily and completely write this off as a really poor idea and then noticed/realized in the comments that the setting is the medievalish era not especially long after Luna's banishment.
You should say not long after Luna's banishment rather than reference her return.
Now, just get the full explanation out of the way...
kegs placed out with them - steins placed out with them
I read about that sort of thing. - I'd read about that sort of thing. -or- I had read about that sort of thing.
the going ons - the goings-on
There was a work group - There was a workgroup
clever brick work - clever brickwork

I'm not sure how to rephrase that...

Er, how I phrased it? "Not long after Luna's banishment"
9272282
As you wish, it is done.

Not necessarily as I wish and there's no need to be like that.
It's just that the premise goes "Human in Equestria introduces plumbing and electricity" and I immediately go "hangon, they already have both" and scrunch until I realize that the story is implying "Yes now they do, because a hella long time ago some dude brought them concepts they hadn't thought of yet".
That was fun, may I have another? Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
At last we have an engineering talking!
Currently, buildings are carved stone block, hoof or horn cast induvidual mold bricks or even patted shaped, or slats, sod, willow whip weave and daubed etc? So for sewers he is going to have to invent the pug mill, the stacker firing kiln, and for kiloyear rated engineering brick, shale grinders for high alumina content which means not clay, unless coal seam associated fireclay for the furnaces? But that would lead to mass production of cast iron high pressure water pipes, valves, gates, etc, then the creation of brass taps and other items for teh home would lead to brass musical instruments or vice versa depending?
As for brick sewers lasting a thousand years, thats easy. The Two thousand year old Roman Sewer was still fully intact only a couple foot under the road surface outside the main entrance to the central bus station in Dublin, Ireland. They uncovered it when digging out the foundations for the modern tramline. It was essentially engineered for flow rate, compression stress, and self cleaning. Teardrop shaped with the pointy end at the bottom, so the smallest channel would have a decent speed with smallest flow.
Depending on how they wanted to do it, either flange clamps to start with are easiest, because bolting flanges together needs standardised bolts and bolt production, which is industrialisation that makes a lot of things easier.
A really interesting fic so far, follow it i shall.
Whoo, finally moving forward with the building of things! Yay!
men should be ponies and you're missing a closing quotation mark.

The best and easiest way to provide water pressure for a system is to place a number of tanks higher up the Canterhorn than Canterlot itself, with inlet pipes pumping the water up from the water table and into the tanks, and pipes leading down from the tanks and into the city. Gravity pulling the water down, and water being reluctant to compress, will provide plenty of easy water pressure for very little comparative effort, and, best part, you don't even need pumping stations to provide pressure! You could even just teleport the water into the tanks. That'd work.
The issue would be getting the metals that would provide safe pipe materials. Ceramic would work in a pinch, but it's not a great material, and the best option at this point (given that the industry required to make PVC is as much as a century out) would be galvanized steel, which you need zinc for, which means that you need all of the infrastructure to mass manufacture steel piping and all the infrastructure to mine and process zinc. Thankfully, galvanization itself is as simple as melting zinc in a big pot and dipping the pipes in, but actually setting up the materials processing and industry required for the manufacturing of galvanized steel anything is going to be a pain in the ass. Thankfully, sewers are gonna be a lot easier, because all you need to build a sewer is good designs and quality bricks.
Play Factorio. Gives you a really good idea about the looping issues one has with building a half-decent infrastructural base without a huge amount of headaches at the very least.
