Skimmed the city website. Non-conforming party sewers must be "abandoned" by the homeowner if the city says there is a public sewer line available, which there is. No mention of grandfathering, that's something I'll look into.

Found a two-man scoping company that only does that - no plumbing, no sewer repair/install,excavation. Seems that might avoid a conflict of interest/upsell. Also found a couple others who do drain cleaning, but not anything more.

Talked to my neighbor, we're going to get the whole system scoped and get some opinions about whether sewer replacement is needed.

It is irritating (for me) that I'm not having any issues but may have to spend a bunch of money because his nanny was flushing baby wipes down the toilet (strictly against his instructions to her). Okay, I realize it isn't as simple as that. Just venting.
