ᐅ Sewer connection at the property boundary

Hello, I need to install about 40 meters (130 feet) of sewage pipe. I would like to later use the base layer required for this for paving stones on a walkway. The path will run along a property boundary. How much distance do I need to maintain legally and technically from the neighbor for the pipe? In the end, there will also be 2 inspection chambers involved...

That was more or less clear to me, but still, there can't be a general ban on wastewater pipes at the property boundary (unlike with above-ground buildings). It was already mentioned that you should be careful when digging there.

You can’t build too close to the boundary, or the fence will fall within it.
But it sounds like an easement (right of way, access, and utilities) of 3.5m (11.5 feet) width and 40m (131 feet) length.
Alongside sewage, there also needs to be water, gas, electricity, cables (TV or fiber optic network), video intercom and doorbell with chime, 220V gate motor, and pathway lighting, and during construction, it may even serve as a construction access road for 40-ton trucks.

Hello Nida35a, it "only" has to include video, doorbell, buzzer, and pathway lighting. I will get all other utilities elsewhere. It won't be a construction access road either.

Somehow, I have to prepare the path up to the neighbor’s fence so that I can later pave a walkway there...

For a path, you might dig about 40 cm (16 inches) deep. The foundations should be deeper, so it’s not a big issue for the short duration.

A trench is usually about 1 m (39 inches) deep and therefore more challenging.

Choose a convenient width for the trench that allows a mini excavator to be used, so about 1 m (39 inches) away from the fence. This also works better with the spacing of the manholes from the fence. Try not to place the manholes directly next to a fence post.

If the inspection shafts are only for your private use, a 45-degree T-piece and a vertical pipe section with a closure cap are sufficient.
It is important to have a slope of 1cm per 1m (0.4 inches per 3.3 feet) and to rarely (never) use the shortcut key.
