OT Property experts-Sewage line runs across neighbors property

They damaged it by running tractors cutting/bailing hay and building fences, etc. How am I responsible for the repairs?
Damage is on their property not mine, but my sewage line.

More details please. Have you talked to them yet?

Instead of waiting for them to do something why not get it fixed and argue with them about it after the fact. Sewerage is kind of important.

Because your shite will back up if they won't fix it.
But serious question is why is your line run on their property?
The only way they would be responsible is if there is an easement type agreement. Otherwise, you should have your line corrected to connect on your side.

They are not responsible for your line running across their property. Unless you have something in writing they can go cut you shite off and say frick you. I’d just fix it and not pisss them off

Good lord, fix it and move on.

Not only are you responsible, you should get a servitude for the line on their property. If I were you I'd pay for the cost to repair it and talk to them about the situation and a possible easement agreement.
If they're not interested in granting you an easement you may have to abandon the line once it crosses into their property and install a new one to the main line directly through your property to the right of way.
ETA: You should definitely find a survey of your property if you have it, you should also find the subdivision plat. While it technically may be their property, their could've been a utility servitude shown on the original drawings. Then it'd be their problem to fix

sounds like you are shite out of luck. Just fix it.

Is it in an easement or something? Your utilities shouldn’t be tied in through adjacent property

So the sewage is spilling onto their property?
Looks like they have a problem.

Did the neighbors themselves tear it up or did they hire someone that tore it up?
Further, isn’t there a law that you must have your yard marked by the utility companies before you dig up anything?
Isn’t water and sewer part of the utility group required to mark?

No matter how this ends, it will end with you with less money in your pocket than before this started. Look at ways to limit that cost.
Also how long have you lived in the home?

Call for repairs but give your neighbors name and address for the bill.
