The city or me?

I am building a spec home in a smaller town I grew up in. A few years ago the town changed the lot dimensions to be able to build a house from 80'-60'. We were looking for the sewer, which was on the map from the city, but we didn't find it and we dug a few more hours to try and find it. No such luck. So it seems I'm going to have to cut the road and tie into the main that way. From what I'm hearing I'm responsible to fix the road. Has anyone experience this before. Knowing that a lot of lots can be built on them now because of the ratification of the lot sizes, how many other lots are like this one in my hometown? I have a meeting with the town board on the 18th. I feel like I shouldn't be held liable to pay for all of the cost. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
