Sewer Line Repair in New Castle, KY
The run from a building in New Castle 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 747 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1976 — 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 New Castle, where housing typically dates from 1976 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 1976
A lateral laid in New Castle 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.
