What this bond does
Security to the Town of Westport for the sanitary-sewer and/or road-opening permits identified by its instrument, including specified ROW or other Town-property work.
- Who needs it
- Westport's sanitary-sewer instructions allow only the contractor performing the sewer work to apply. Match the legal principal to the actual Town permit request, whether sewer, road opening, or both.
- Who it protects
- The Town form secures permit undertakings and specified indemnity, including expenses for refilling excavations, drainage replacement, and pavement/sidewalk restoration. It concerns the permitted activities, not every private construction contract.

For the sanitary-sewer application, only the contractor performing the sewer work may apply. The Town instrument can address sewer and/or road-opening permits; confirm the actual principal and work covered.
Is this bond the same as my liability insurance?
