I'm wondering what it would take to replace the section of sewer pipe
from my house to the right of way. We have very sandy soil and no
trees in the front yard to be concerned with. I'm thinking it's about
a 30' foot run, but I don't know how deep it is. I'm in western NY
about a mile south of Lake Ontario. The town has already replaced
their section of the sewer with PVC and I'd like to do the same with
mine.

Is this something I could do with a couple of shovels, some help and a
lot of time or is heavy equipment absolutely required?

how deep is the main? did you look when they replaced the main line?

As I said in my OP - "I don't know how deep it is"

The best I can say guesstimate is this:

The exterior vent for the exhaust fan in my basement bathroom is in
the same corner of the house as the sewer pipe. Outside of the house,
the vent is about 3 feet off the ground. Inside the house, the floor
level cleanout is about 7 feet below the vent. I guess that puts the
sewer pipe at least 4 feet underground.

In addition, the frost line for building decks, etc. around here is
42", so I assume it's at least that deep.
