Cheshire, CT Street Excavation Bond
Overview
Digging up a street in Cheshire, CT? Before the town grants you a permit to break ground in a public right-of-way, you need a Street Excavation Bond on file. This bond guarantees that any road, curb, or surface you disturb will be properly restored to the town's standards. Without it, Cheshire won't issue the excavation permit — and your project doesn't move forward.
Who Needs This Bond?
Utility contractors, telecommunications crews, and plumbing or sewer contractors who need to cut into a Cheshire public street or right-of-way all need this bond. If your work requires opening pavement, digging a trench, or disturbing any town-maintained roadway surface in Cheshire, this is your bond. It applies whether you're working on a single-family service lateral or a larger infrastructure project along a town road.
What is this Bond For?
Cheshire requires this bond to protect the town and the public from the cost of unrestored or poorly restored excavations in public streets. If you dig up a road and fail to repair it correctly — or abandon the work — the bond gives the town a financial remedy to get the job done right. It holds your work to the restoration standards the town sets as a condition of the permit.
When is it Required?
Before Cheshire issues your street excavation permit, the town will ask for this bond. It is a prerequisite to permit approval, not something you file after the fact. Once your bond is in place and the permit is issued, you can begin excavation — but the bond stays active until the town is satisfied the street has been properly restored.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the Town of Cheshire, Connecticut. It is a local municipal requirement, not a state-level bond, and it covers work performed within Cheshire's public rights-of-way only. If you are excavating streets in other Connecticut towns, each municipality may require its own separate bond.
