Unless there are tools in GRASS relating to this, I think there is currently only the ghydraulic plugin: "a simple Quantum GIS plugin that adds a function to calculate economic diameters based on given flowrates".

Hopefully what you want will be available in the future, as the ghydraulic homepage does say this: 
"Roadmap
GHydraulic should fully integrate the EPANET engine into Quantum GIS" [1]
But I don't know whether it is being actively developed or not.

Also, the developer of inpPINS (which is a program for converting shapefiles to and from SWMM input/output files [2]) says that it in the future is intended to support EPANET as well as SWMM [3].
