Detailed Information About the Texas District Plumbing Contractor ($10,000) Bond:

Registration comes before the first permit

Brushy Creek MUD reviews and inspects plumbing work connected to its water and wastewater system. Its Notice to Plumbers states that prior to performing any plumbing work, all applicable permit applications must be submitted by a registered plumber with current information on file with the District. A homeowner's general contractor cannot pull the permit for you.

What the bond backs

The Notice to Plumbers puts three duties on the plumber. The District permit must be posted in a visible place at the site. The plumber is responsible for scheduling every required inspection and passing it. All fees remaining at the end of the job are assigned to the plumber. The $10,000 bond in favor of the District backs those obligations. If the District has to claim on it, the surety pays up to $10,000 and the plumber repays the surety.

Use the District's Plumbing Permit Registration Form and contact BCMUD Public Works at 512-255-7871 extension 410 or pwadmin@bcmud.org for the current bond form and obligee wording. Work that needs access through District property also requires a Permit Application for Trail and Easement Access. District staff cannot perform work on private property.
