About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

This bond is a municipal-protection guarantee covering both right-of-way work and drain laying in Glastonbury. When you open a town street or lay drains, the Town wants a financial backstop that you’ll restore the road and drainage and not leave the public way damaged.

It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Glastonbury (the obligee). If you damage town property, fail to restore a road opening, or violate the town’s drain-laying standards, the Town can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their work to the town’s standard treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

Town of Glastonbury — right-of-way & drain laying permitThe Town of Glastonbury requires this $10,000 bond as a condition of right-of-way work and drain laying in town; the bond amount and terms are set by the Town of Glastonbury (Department of Physical Services / Public Works). We have not cited a specific ordinance number because the exact municipal code section is not published in a way we can verify — confirm the current requirement with the Town.
