Ongoing plumbing repairs

Hi all investor here with a sfh property in Oklahoma, I have been having ongoing plumbing issues almost every week with toilet clogs etc since last year, and recently they had to repair the sewer lines and had to excavate the backyard and living room floors costed me tens of thousands of dollars. My property manager says there was no indication that the tenants are at fault.

My question is, could the city be responsible for this situation?

Would you sell this property or fix it and hope this issue doesn’t go on for another year?

Thanks for any feedback!

@Nathan Gesner, James, and Adam thank you so much for your advice. I will probably sell the house in a few years since it was built in the 60s and the plumber said that i shouldn’t have any issues for some time now, hopefully. My plumber also said that it wasn’t the tenants fault and the city could also make me change the entire sewer line so I shouldn’t get the city involved.
