Sewer Line Repair in Big Creek, KY
Whoever owns a property in Big Creek owns the lateral under it, out to the main. On iron, what that ownership eventually costs is decided at the bottom of the pipe. There are 316 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1988 — the best single clue to what the pipe is made of and how it tends to fail.
In short
Cast iron on the house side with early PVC beyond it is the usual arrangement under Big Creek properties, whose housing typically dates from 1988. Iron corrodes along the bottom of the pipe, so a survey looks at the invert rather than at the seams.

What went in the ground around 1988
A lateral laid in Big Creek in that period is most likely cast iron on the house side and early PVC beyond it. Cast iron corrodes along the bottom of the pipe, so capacity is lost gradually rather than suddenly. More on cast iron laterals.
What a camera survey should settle here

Before anyone digs in Big Creek, get the run on camera — and ask what the bottom of the pipe looks like, because scale along the invert reads as a blockage. What the recording should show you.
