What this bond does
Match the security to the proposed work in New Milford Borough, Bergen County. Opening an existing road for a sewer connection is not automatically subject to the same bond arrangement as constructing street improvements under a separate Borough approval.
- Who needs it
- Property owners, utilities, contractors, and other applicants arranging work in the Borough's public streets or public places. Confirm who must be named as applicant and principal for the particular permit.
- Who it protects
- The Borough's security provisions address completion, restoration, and maintenance under the applicable street-work approval. The accepted instrument determines the bond obligation; a surety purchase should not be assumed to replace a required cash deposit.

Questions about this bond
Does the $2,500 utility provision apply to every applicant?
No. The code describes utility cash security separately from ordinary excavation deposits and street-improvement bonds. Have the Clerk identify your applicable requirement.
Can I choose a surety bond instead of an excavation deposit?
That substitution has not been established for this offering. Section 18-1 describes deposits, while Section 18-2 has separate bond provisions. Confirm acceptance before ordering.
How far ahead should I submit an ordinary excavation application?
The code calls for an application to the Clerk at least five business days before the proposed road opening. This is a submission requirement, not a promise that permission will be issued within five days.
