Sewer Line Repair in Chana, IL
In Chana the sewer lateral — the run from the house to the public main — belongs to whoever owns the property, not to the utility. There are 299 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1977 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Orangeburg cannot be ruled out by date in Chana, where housing typically dates from 1977 and the plumbing code still permitted bituminized fiber. What settles it is whether the pipe still holds a round section.

What went in the ground around 1977
A lateral laid in Chana 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.
Chana is the 216th largest block of laterals we cover in Illinois, carrying about 0.0% of the 3,231,384 homes on our IL list, and its housing runs older than 41% of the IL towns we route. Age concentration matters on a lateral: where a whole street went in one season, the failures arrive in one season too.

Before anyone digs in Chana, get the run on camera — and ask whether any bituminized fiber is present, because the code still allowed it here. What the recording should show you.
