Sewer Line Repair in Springport, IN
The run from a building in Springport 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 647 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1972 — 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 Springport, where housing typically dates from 1972 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 1972

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.
