Sewer Line Repair in Sand Lake, NY
A lateral serving a house in Sand Lake belongs to the property, not the utility — which matters more here than usual, because what it is made of is not settled by the build year. There are 339 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 Sand Lake, 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
A lateral laid in Sand Lake 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.
