According to British Common Law, the municipality owns a 'road allowance'
which is 6 chains or 66'. Therefore the portion of drain 33' from the
middle of the road is town'ps respons to main'tn.
Common Law is the basis of NAmerican&Aussie Laws and applies just about
everywhere with the exception of Quebec and some parts of the Louisianna
purchase referred to as parishes.
Price is reasonable, given that trenches do cave in and kill many
pipelayers.

It's just a 'T' (more likely a 'Y' and a 45) installed in the lateral.
Call
a licensed plumber for another estimate. There's some digging involved,
and
maybe the plumber will let you do it. If it's too deep, it should be done
with a back hoe and someone experienced in working down in a ditch.

We recently had Roto-Rooter come out and snake out our sewer connection.
Apparently tree roots were clogging the pipes so they were cleaned out.
Getting rid of the roots is only a temporary problem and the Roto-Rooter
guy
told us that the root problem was on the city side of the sewer and they
would be responsible for repairing it. Well, we gave the city (Roswell,
Georgia) a call and they sent a guy out and he told us that they can't do
anything because we don't have a sewer clean out in our yard. Our house
is
30
years old so I guess they didn't put them in back then.

Does anyone know how much these cost to install? The city wants to charge
$1400 but I think this is way too much. Anyone have a similar experience?
