Sewer Line Repair in Shrub Oak, NY
In Shrub Oak the sewer lateral — the run from the house to the public main — belongs to whoever owns the property, not to the utility. There are 1,108 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1970 — 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 Shrub Oak, where housing typically dates from 1970 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 1970
A lateral laid in Shrub Oak 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.
