Drain Layer Bond - Enfield, CT in Connecticut

Brief Summary

Drain layers working in Enfield need two things that come from two different places: a state license that covers sewer and storm piping, and a bond in favor of the town. Line up the bond early and it will not hold up your connection permit.

The Drain Layer bond is posted by the contractor who installs or repairs building sewer and storm drain connections in Enfield, Connecticut, in favor of the Town of Enfield. It guarantees the town that the drain layer will follow local requirements for that work, including restoring what is disturbed. Confirm the current bond amount and the town's bond form with Enfield before the bond is issued.

Detailed Information About the Connecticut Drain Layer Bond:

The state license that covers this work

The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection licenses piping work. Water, sewer and storm lines running from the utility's point of responsibility to just inside a structure fall under the P-7 limited sewer, storm and water contractor license, with the P-6 as the journeyperson version that only works while employed by a licensed contractor. The P-1 unlimited plumbing contractor license covers all plumbing and piping work.

The town bond

The bond on this page runs to the Town of Enfield and is posted by the drain layer who performs sewer and drain connection work in town. It is a promise that the drain layer will meet the town's requirements for that work. If the drain layer fails to do so and the town suffers a loss, for example from street or sewer work left unrepaired, the town can claim against the bond. The surety pays valid claims and then recovers from the drain layer.

Before you buy

Contact the Town of Enfield office that handles sewer connection permits to confirm the bond amount, the bond term and whether the town uses its own form. Ask at the same time about any insurance certificate the town requires, since that is a separate document from the bond.
