Yonkers, NY Sewer or Drain Opening Bond
Overview
Need to open a sewer or drain line in Yonkers? Before any work begins, the City of Yonkers requires contractors to hold a Sewer or Drain Opening Bond. This bond protects the city against damage to public infrastructure caused during excavation or drain-opening work. It is a local Yonkers requirement — not a state license bond — and must be in place before the city will authorize your project.
Who Needs This Bond?
Plumbers, drain contractors, and excavation crews performing sewer or drain opening work within Yonkers city limits need this bond. If you are a utility contractor hired to access city drainage infrastructure, this applies to you. Any company or individual pulling a sewer or drain opening permit from the City of Yonkers will be required to furnish this bond before work can proceed.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that the contractor will restore any disturbed public property — pavement, curbing, or drainage infrastructure — to the city's standards after the sewer or drain opening is complete. If a contractor leaves the site in disrepair or causes damage to city infrastructure, Yonkers can make a claim against the bond to recover repair costs. It is a financial protection mechanism for the city, not for the contractor.
When is it Required?
When you apply for a sewer or drain opening permit with the City of Yonkers, the permit office will require proof of this bond before issuing authorization. The bond must be secured and filed prior to any excavation or drain-opening activity. You cannot legally begin work on city drainage infrastructure in Yonkers until this bond is on file.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the City of Yonkers, New York. It covers sewer and drain opening work performed within Yonkers city limits and is administered as a local municipal requirement. It does not satisfy bonding requirements in other New York municipalities or under New York State licensing programs.
