What this bond does
Secure replacement of the Village street opening to the Village Engineer's satisfaction. This is a street-opening obligation for the work, not proof that a plumber's separate trade licensing or registration requirements have been met.
- Who needs it
- A plumber or other permit applicant excavating a Village street or sidewalk. Confirm Village jurisdiction: the surrounding Town of Hempstead has a different right-of-way programme and security requirement.
- Who it protects
- If the opening is not restored within the permit's time or to the Engineer's satisfaction, the code provides for Village replacement and a claim against the surety. Separate deposit and insurance provisions also apply.

Questions about this bond
Does this replace a plumber's trade license?
No. It concerns the street-opening restoration obligation. Confirm any separate trade licensing or registration requirements for the work.
Does the $2,000 bond replace the Village's deposit?
The code states the surety and deposit in separate sections and does not make them automatic substitutes. Confirm the deposit requirements and any applicable exception with the Village.
Does the bond end when the 60-day permit expires?
That is not established. The 60-day provision describes the permit. Obtain the accepted surety's duration and release instructions separately.
