What this bond does
Section 4.2 of Sewer Ordinance 30 secures faithful, careful and skilled performance of plumbing-related work under township rules. Its terms address protection of both the township and premises owner against specified damages and claims from unskillfulness or negligence in plumbing or excavation for plumbing.
- Who needs it
- The applicant arranging a Butman Township permit for the street excavation for plumbing covered by the sewer ordinance.
- Who it protects
- The security is deposited with the township and supports the stated sewer/plumbing obligation. It is not evidence that every private grading job or all excavation across Gladwin County needs this bond.
