The first houses in Widefield have orangeburg sewer pipe.
Orangeburg was made of wood pulp and pitch, and feels like an oil-soaked cardboard or layers of tar paper. It was manufactured in Orangeburg, New York, and was used in the 1860s until the 1970s.
Orangeburg is highly susceptible to root intrusion and becoming egg-shaped. Its useful life is 10-50 years.
At this job, the sewer was egg-shaped where we tied on at the sidewalk. We did not go all the way to the main.
We were referred to the homeowner from a high school friend.
