Sewer Line Repair in Thurston, OH
A lateral serving a house in Thurston 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 215 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 Thurston, 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 Thurston 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.
Thurston is the 168th largest block of laterals we cover in Ohio, carrying about 0.0% of the 1,414,592 homes on our OH list, and its housing runs older than 73% of the OH towns we route. Age concentration matters on a lateral: where a whole street went in one season, the failures arrive in one season too.
Median household income across Thurston ZIP codes is $47,679 — which matters because a lateral is one of the few repairs with nobody else to send the invoice to.

Before anyone digs in Thurston, 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.
