Colorado Southwest Metropolitan Water & Sanitation District Right of Way Bond
Overview
Southwest Metropolitan Water & Sanitation District governs water and sanitation infrastructure across a defined service area in Colorado, and any contractor or utility worker who needs to break ground or disturb the district's rights of way must carry this bond. It guarantees that the work area will be properly restored and that the district's infrastructure will be protected throughout the project. Without it, you cannot legally begin work in the district's right-of-way corridor.
Who Needs This Bond?
Excavation contractors, utility installation crews, and pipeline contractors working within Southwest Metropolitan Water & Sanitation District's right-of-way territory all need this bond. If your project requires cutting pavement, trenching, or disturbing any ground within the district's designated corridors, you are the principal on this bond. It applies whether you are working under a private contract or a public works agreement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Southwest Metropolitan Water & Sanitation District from financial loss if a contractor fails to restore a right-of-way to its pre-work condition. It covers damage to district-owned infrastructure, failure to backfill and compact trenches properly, and any other obligation tied to the right-of-way permit. The district can make a claim against the bond if restoration work is abandoned or performed below standard.
When is it Required?
Before the district issues a right-of-way permit, it will require proof that this bond is in place. That means you need the bond in hand during the permit application step — not after approval. Showing up to the permit counter without it will stall your project before it starts.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the service area boundaries of the Southwest Metropolitan Water & Sanitation District in Colorado. It is a district-level requirement, not a statewide license bond, and it has no force outside the district's jurisdiction. Work at any other location in Colorado requires separate bonding as applicable to that authority.
