East Lyme, CT Water & Sewer Connections Permit Bond
Overview
East Lyme, Connecticut requires contractors who perform water and sewer connection work to post a permit bond before they can operate in the town. This bond protects the town and its residents by guaranteeing that connection work meets local standards and that any damage or code violations will be corrected. It is a condition of obtaining your Water & Sewer Connections permit from the East Lyme local authority, not a state license requirement.

If your business taps into East Lyme's municipal water or sewer lines — whether for new construction, a property addition, or a replacement connection — this bond is required. Any contractor pulling a water or sewer connection permit through the East Lyme permitting office must have this bond in place before work begins.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that permitted water and sewer connection work in East Lyme is completed according to local requirements and that the town can recover costs if a contractor causes damage or leaves work incomplete.

When is it Required?
Before East Lyme issues your Water & Sewer Connections permit, the town requires this bond to be on file.
