    Sewer is always straight (rare cases there are bends) and man holes used at change of directon - To stop that exact thing happening! Why not keep them in for a bit longer and do the low impact stuff with them in there, bathroom and stormwater? or ask the PM what the tenants plan on doing

    Only encase if your going to build something substantial over it! Granny flat, extension, garage. Don't bother for trees, gazebo or paving.

    Encasing would be best, its the depth that increases the price. you can also reline the sewer, but you will have to go man hole to man hole (reline under a number of blocks potentially) Depending on length it could be an option, and if your in a major city or happen to have a contractor in town...
