ALSO, PILOT REPORTED DURING LANDING AS BRAKES WERE APPLIED THERE WAS LITTLE BRAKING AND THE PEDAL PRESSURE FELT ERRATIC.  PEDAL PRESSURE FELT ERRATIC DURING BRAKE RELEASE ALSO.  MECHANICS FOUND ICE ON CABLES FOR LANDING GEAR AND ON BRAKE CABLES DUE TO POTABLE WATER LINE LEAK ABOVE RT WHEEL WELL.  REPAIRED WATER LINE.  REMOVED ICE FROM CABLES.  PERFORMED OPS CHECK.  RETURNED A/C TO SERVICE.
