I want it piped right to my fridge.

In a perfect world...

The pipeline is 3,276 meters (2 miles) long, and runs 34 meters (111 feet) below the surface at its deepest point. 

Damn, so no chance of any crazy drunks popping it open and playing in it like a fire hydrant. That would be a sight lol.

How awesome would a beer hydrant be? It just sounds so American.

Just think about hosing down unruly protesters with beer!! Lol. Protest would be foiled in a matter of hours! Hahaahaha..

Yes in the linky it states the line has it's own cleaning and flush system. [ I would imagine there would be some fermentation going on in the pipe even during pump cycle, add a little air and there could be some serious growth of bacteria real fast]

Fermentation is done by the time the beer flows through that pipe, there are no more fermentables in the beer at this point. Also, no air could be allowed to be introduced because oxygenation as it rushed through the pipe would be damaging to the beer. Only CO2 would be present.
