If it's beyond the boundary of the property, I'd say it's not your

I don't think it can be as simple as that. AIUI, I am responsible for
the drains from our house until it reaches the public sewer, even when
running under the pavement/road.

eg. in the picture on this webpage under 'Who is Responsible?' our house
would be equivalent to No. 1
