It's a 3" pipe, probably 4' down on average, and you need to get the

How wide would you make the trench, and is there a machine you know of
that would do this work that can be rented?

Oh, there may be sprinkler pipe in the path of the trench.

Is it possible to abandon the OB in place, trench along side and
connect new PVC? Irrigation lines can be fixed rather easily.

Hmmm, hadn't thought of that. I assume that since the (N) pipe has to
end up in the same place, the amount of digging (depth) would be the
same (the path is down a slope with about a 4-5' (from memory) drop.

It has to be 6' down at the end to meet the line from the sewer.

I'll ask B&S what specs there are.
