Just adding to this, not far south of Las Vegas the Central Arizona Project is a rather large canal (so not exactly a pipeline but close enough) which transports Colorado River water to Phoenix and Tucson.
It's just not generally done over long distances. Oil is pumped over long distances, but it's also much more valuable. For water, we rely more on cheaper ways of transporting it, and transporting it over shorter distances, using things like aqueducts and, yes, pipelines.
Here's an example of a big water pipeline project:
