How long would plumbing continue to function without maintenance?

If everyone were to suddenly die, how long would plumbing (showers, toilets, taps) continue working without humans there to maintain them? I expect any additives like chlorine wouldn't last long... would water still be drinkable without them? Answers, ideally, should apply to an average urban American area.
