[RP TownTalk] Sewer mainline replacement

[adrian limmen]

Just wondering what other people paid and what their experience was like.
What would WSSC do for pipes on my property?

Our pipes inside the house are all PVC. The sewer pipe is terracotta. It
needs to go.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I'll check with Kevin tomorrow.

Take care!
