When you connect a property to East Lyme’s public water and sewer system, the work happens in the town right-of-way — cutting pavement, tapping a main, backfilling, and restoring the road. The Town of East Lyme conditions the connection permit on a surety bond so the town is protected if the work is left unfinished or the road is not restored properly.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of East Lyme (the obligee). If the connection or restoration is not completed to the town’s specifications, East Lyme can recover against the bond to finish or repair the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who tap the main cleanly and restore the trench to grade treat the bond as a permit formality.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Town of East Lyme set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with your permit.
