Our city made us pay to have our outdated septic tank filled and attach to city sewer even though it was still working fine. Cost us just under $4000.00 two summers ago. Jamie....you gonna give Coon ie a stroke !! Hahahaha

Dont worry about it coonman.
If they have to dig on your property make sure you get it in writing that they will remediate the work to your satisfaction.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

It's pretty hard to predict what another state or municipality will require? This is your the first time you have asked about this dave. Call the engineer and ask him these questions.
There is a really good chance they have inspected the mainline in the front street and know your line doesn't go that way.

I think Dave could solve his financial problems if he would write a book on his daily struggles in life. Looking back on his past posts, it appears there is enough material to publish several volumes.

Very true. There have been times when I've had better luck deciphering the writings on the inside of a cave.

I had my line roto rooter out 5 years ago an fine, I see roto rooter next door before , they extremely expensive, I went thru local mechanical place , so when left work, they stand street an walk toward my driveway with long electronic thing lites on street, I have old lines on 1 ft there property that were for rv in my 2 ND drive, many yrs bfore move there, not I'm use am no idea where go to, mine don't run street but go out back an to another property out street , if they start dig, what if there lines are under my 2 ND drive who h close them , could this start legal trouble , could they try make me pay ? My lines are not there an drain fine, also street assem Ent project this summer an what happens when go hook up water line an see my sewer line not there as on back an go elsewhere , would that work out , it works fine, not got $10 k for sewer if some city code update , I can't see why they have to have sewer hookup there an can't leave as is, not go Ask about it ahead time an tell them if ask that fine, , could what go on now if start dig, make me pay for there lines of on my property ? They walk to my drive when I left I have designed septic systems in NY, NJ and PA for close to 20 years now. If you have a question about this feel free to PM me, but I think you will be fine. good luck.
I don't make the same mistake twice. I make it like five or six times, you know, just to be sure.

Here the term 'right of way' is used for roads to be used by those that live on them. To have power brought out to our house we had to grant them a easement.

coonman,
No you would not be responsible at all in that situation, they should have done a proper inspection before they bought the house. They will likely just cap off the old line, and run a new line that is contained within their property. If they ever try to give you a hard time, you just go dig at the property line, and take your sawzall and cut their line where it enters your property. It likely wont ever lead to that, but sometimes people want to be dumb, you will be more than ok. You do NOT have to pay for a broken pipe on your property that happens to belong to your neighbors.
@Canvasback, You are correct in that situation, but as it stands the city cannot force coonman to upgrade to sewer no matter what. They could offer him money, they could offer him 100 corvettes, they still cannot force him to upgrade to sewer. If coonman wants to send his sewage out to his older leach field until the day he dies, he will be able to do so. Don't make assumptions. Depending on where you live and the laws in place you can be made to do lots of things that are not right. Just because it's how it is where you live does not mean that's how it is everywhere. I have a friend that had a well . They put city water in his development. The water comp sent him bills even though he was not even connected to it. It went to court and he lost. The local government made a deal the water company would get all the customers if they put the line in or some such crap. He paid what he had to then sold the place and moved.
