where is "behind the curb line" for sewer repair?
We are having sewer replacement on our block. Our letter states "As part of this project, the sewer service connection and sewer pipe are to be replaced behind the curb line." Is "behind the curb line" past the curb into the street or past the curb into my yard? It makes a big difference in additional work I will need.

- I would say that "behind the curb line" would mean on your side of the curb. Call the city planning department, or who ever sent out the letter and ask what the mean by that part of the letter.
- the curb line is on your side of the sidewalk
- That's a good question but I would say it is on your side of the curb in the yard. Where I'm at, when I replace a sewer line I can only go from the house to the curb. If the sewer line extends under the street then the customer is still responsible for that line all the way to where it connects to the city sewer. It sounds like the city is going to replace their line in the street and extend pipes to each house up to the curb....most cities go ahead and tie your old line onto their new line but I dont know what they will do there...hope this helps and good luck
