When she pays her latest plumbing bill, Azalea Drive resident Sue Smith will have spent more than $4,000 in the past two years to fix problems caused by a six-foot length of collapsed sewer line that was buried under a city street. Part of her current bill’s $3,000 cost was for cutting and patching the street. As she has learned, the city of Statesboro considers lateral sewer lines that extend from homes to be the homeowner’s property all the way to the city’s main, even when the connection is under the middle of the street.
