Sewer Line Repair in Ward, CO
The run from a building in Ward out to the public main is the property owner’s responsibility, and in housing of this age it is the one material that cannot be ruled out by a date. There are 224 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1978 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Bituminized fiber pipe — Orangeburg — went into the ground alongside clay across the years Ward housing typically dates from, which is 1978. It deforms into an oval rather than cracking, so the pipe becomes the restriction and clearing it restores nothing.

What went in the ground around 1978
A lateral laid in Ward in that period is most likely the tail of Orangeburg and the first plastic. The plumbing code still permitted bituminized fiber well into this period, so its presence cannot be ruled out by date. More on Orangeburg pipe.
What a camera survey should settle here
The code still permitted bituminized fiber this late, so its absence has to be confirmed on camera rather than assumed from the date. The full picture on Orangeburg pipe.
Ward is the 92nd largest block of laterals we cover in Colorado, carrying about 0.0% of the 1,902,829 homes on our CO list, and its housing runs older than 83% of the CO towns we route. Age concentration matters on a lateral: where a whole street went in one season, the failures arrive in one season too.
