It may be that part of the line needs to be replaced or is deteriorating, and since you have the other owner over a barrel you might be able to get them to repair more of the line on their dime as part of the relocation project. But without doing a sewer scope you won’t know that.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Kary L. Krismer</p><p class=MsoNormal>John L.

At least, these are the issues I have run into in the past. I am sure there are others I have not thought of.</p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Wed, May 31, 2017 at 7:10 AM, Sangeeta Saigal <<a href="mailto:attorney@sangeetasaigal.com" target="_blank">attorney@sangeetasaigal.com</a>> wrote:</p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Good All,</p><p class=MsoNormal> </p><p class=MsoNormal>Any advice on the following issue would be greatly appreciated:</p><p class=MsoNormal> </p><p class=MsoNormal>Property A’s sewer line runs through Property B.
