Sewer Permit Bond - City of Middlebury, CT in Connecticut

Brief Summary

Middlebury is a town, and sewer work there answers to the Water Pollution Control Authority, not a city public works office or the state. Get the bond amount and form from the WPCA before you buy, then file the bond with your sewer permit so the connection is not held up.

The Town of Middlebury Water Pollution Control Authority requires a surety bond from contractors before it issues a permit for work on the town sewer system. The WPCA operates and maintains all town-owned sewer lines and five pump stations, and it sets the bond and permit terms under its own regulations. Confirm the current amount and bond form with the WPCA before the bond is issued.

Detailed Information About the Connecticut Sewer Permit Bond:

Who the obligee is

Middlebury is a town, and sewer permits there run through the Town of Middlebury Water Pollution Control Authority. The WPCA operates and maintains all town-owned sewer lines and five pump stations. It publishes its own WPCA Regulations and an amendment, and those govern connections and work on the system. A permit or bond filed with the wrong office will not satisfy the requirement.

What the bond guarantees

A sewer permit bond protects the town if a contractor's work on or connected to the public sewer is done improperly or left unfinished. If the contractor fails to perform or to restore what was disturbed, the WPCA can make a claim against the bond to cover the cost of correcting the work. The contractor remains responsible to the surety for any claim paid.

Before you buy

The amount is set by the WPCA. Call the WPCA office at 203-758-2747 or visit 1212 Whittemore Road, Middlebury, CT 06762, and confirm the bond amount, the required form and any insurance requirement before the bond is issued. The board meets on the third Tuesday of each month, so leave time if your project needs board action.

How the premium works

You pay the surety an annual premium instead of posting the full bond amount in cash. The surety sets that premium based on the bond amount, the owner's credit and the company's history.

• Bond amount as set by the WPCA.
