YES, in most civilized areas
Yes, unless the property is on city sewer or the property is not for housing.
Of questions city?
In most cases, yes.
It depends on whose property it's on. If it's past your property line, it's your problem; if it's on the city's property, it's their problem (also theirs if they have a utilities easement or legal right-of-way on your property that pertains to the problem. *I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice and you should seek counsel if you intend to take any action*
All things being equal with comparative properties, it should be. (If you are comparing your property to another that is about the same size, in the same jurisdiction, school district, etc.) The reason for this is that your property would require a septic system which is an additional expense to develop the property.
House drain ends at the city sewer. City sewer ends at the waste treatment plant. Waste treatment ends at the nearest river.
The station is the upper-left-most part of Saffron City. In order to earn the ability to use the Magnet Train, complete the Power Plant part of the game, talk to Copycat in the house just south of the station, talk to the president of the Pokémon Fan Club in Vermillion City and receive the Lost Property (if you haven't already), take the Lost Property back to Copycat, and she'll give you the Pass. You can now ride the Magnet Train and go between Goldenrod City (Johto) and Saffron City (Kanto) whenever you want!

A sewer is a common drain line that connects multiple lines or houses that the city maintains. Septic tank is for one house that in on that property and the owner maintains.
Actually, in most cities the government does own the first 15 ft of your front yard. The good part is that they have to maintain it if there is a sewer break, etc. But technically it is theirs, not yours.
Is there a directory of all the sewer service companies? I need to know how to get in touch with the city.
