Questions about this bond
Is $1,000 the standard amount for every sewer opening?
No. The ordinance describes an individual-property-owner exception for repair/replacement of a private sewer lateral. Have Bellevue confirm eligibility.
Does indefinite coverage replace permit applications?
No. The ordinance still requires a written application for each opening.
When does the 24-month security period run?
The bond provision measures it from permanent resurfacing of each opening. Do not use the purchase or temporary-patch date instead.
