What do Colorado utilities say about the service line?
That it belongs to the owner. The wording differs, but Denver, Colorado Springs and Aurora all put the line from the building to the city main on the property owner.
Colorado Springs adds a claims policy tied to verified main blockages, and Aurora's code extends the owner's duty to the tap connection. Your city page shows the specifics.

What causes Colorado sewer backups?
Roots in old neighborhoods and grease everywhere. EPA lists grease and tree roots among the primary blockage causes.
Mature cottonwoods and maples near clay laterals are a front-range story, and restaurant districts add kitchen grease. Our menu for the state: drain jetting, sewer backup help, tree root removal, and storm drain jetting. To see other states, open the areas we serve page.
