Many of the rich had water transported to their homes which along the way came in contact with lead. Lead is the main reason because it caused in heavy metal poisoning. As far as what contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire, public health issues do not come into play. The empire was so vast and contained so many different peoples other then Romans, public health issues played no part in the demise of the empire.

Why did the Romans build the aqueducts?

The Romans built most of their aqueducts underground because that was the most practical and efficient way to move the water. Underground structures needed less labor to build and less maintenance as they were not subject to the elements. Also, in some areas underground aqueducts were necessary because water flows down. If a hill or mountain intervenes, it might make the aqueduct impractical unless it were made underground to go through a hill or slope.
