Just wondering, other than the arches which obviously can't do anything since they are broken, is any part of the ancient roman aqueduct system still in working order and used today?

For the aqueducts in Rome itself (as opposed to the others they built in other parts of the empire), several sources say yes. I believe some of the others are functional as well.

The 3rd and 5th source say that three still function in Rome. The 5th identifies one as Aqua Traiana and says that all of Rome's water is supplied by aqueducts. The 6th source contradicts this, saying there are functional aqueducts elsewhere, but not in Rome itself.
