Fem,
Do you not have a plumbing inspection department there?
It sounds like the pipe was installed improperly, seems as though the trench the piping was laid in was overdug and not properly compacted before the pipe was laid. Do you have enough grade from the existing toilet to the main sewer to allow the plumbing to operate correctly? If so, the line should be excavated, removed, the trench filled and compacted and the pipe re-laid.
