What is this bond?

A Town of Watertown Street Opening and Trenching Permit Bond is a financial guarantee that protects the local municipality during excavation projects. It ensures that contractors will properly restore public roads, sidewalks, and rights-of-way to their original condition after completing trenching work. If the contractor fails to repair the street adequately, the bond provides funds to the town to cover the restoration costs.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and construction professionals planning to excavate or trench within public rights-of-way in Watertown, Connecticut, typically need this bond. It is generally required before the local public works department will issue the necessary excavation or street opening permits.

Why is it required?

The Town of Watertown requires this bond to safeguard public infrastructure from substandard repairs, property damage, or abandoned construction sites. It transfers the financial risk from local taxpayers to a surety company, ensuring the municipality will not be left paying for road patching or safety hazards created by a contractor.
