It might be that the city has a roadway easement but not a utility easement.
This can vary greatly from area to area and from the time that the property
was subdivided. If you need to cross another person's property and there is
not a recorded utility easement then you will need to obtain one.
Deeded property lines can run from the front or back of any curb or sidewalk
or even from the center of the road bed in older developments. This is a
local issue and no one here can tell you for sure unless they are in the
same subdivision as you.
Are the two lots closer to the sewer connected or not? Would there be any
benefit to them to connect? A mutual project grants a higher level of
cooperation. :)
