Sewer Line Repair in West Hurley, NY
A lateral serving a house in West Hurley 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 813 occupied homes here, and across all the housing the median build year is 1967 — 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 West Hurley, where housing typically dates from 1967 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 1967
A lateral laid in West Hurley in that period is most likely Orangeburg or cast iron, with clay still going in at some depths. Which of the three you have is not something the build year can settle on its own. More on Orangeburg pipe.
What a camera survey should settle here
Three materials were going in the ground at once in these years, so the survey is identifying the pipe before it diagnoses anything. The full picture on Orangeburg pipe.
West Hurley is the 291st largest block of laterals we cover in New York, carrying about 0.0% of the 4,931,173 homes on our NY list, and its housing runs older than 39% of the NY towns we route. Age concentration matters on a lateral: where a whole street went in one season, the failures arrive in one season too.
97% of homes here are owner-occupied — 50 points above the NY figure. That matters more on a lateral than on almost any other pipe in the house: the run from the building to the main is the property owner’s to repair, and a landlord and a resident owner do not find that out at the same speed.
Median household income across West Hurley ZIP codes is $71,963 — the relevant figure for a job no insurer and no utility is going to split.

Before anyone digs in West Hurley, get the run on camera — and ask what the pipe is actually made of, because the build year cannot settle it at this age. What the recording should show you.
