Minimum Cover
(OP)
As per american and most standards, lines from the property line to the collection sewer should be at a minimum depth of 3
feet (1 m) at the property line. How bad would it be if the minimum cover is between 0.8 m to 0.9 m...is it dangerous to accept such interval?

RE: Minimum Cover
Depth
Sewers shall be sufficiently deep to prevent freezing. Sewers should be sufficiently deep to serve basements except where overhead sewers are required by local ordinances or will be
provided.
1) Minimum Cover
The minimum cover of sewers shall be no less than 3 feet unless special structural protection is provided.
2) Buoyancy
Where high ground water conditions are anticipated, buoyancy of sewers shall be considered and, if necessary, adequate provisions should be made for protection.
