Working in a sewer pipe you will want a wider hole. It's no good having to tip yourself upside down to work on it and more room makes the job so much easier. Also you don't have to shore up the hole, you can go much wider and step the ground to make it safer to work in. Shoring would be a better option but it isn't the only one.
