What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An excavation-permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the Town of Wethersfield. When you excavate in the town right-of-way, the town wants assurance the pavement, curb, and base are restored to its specification — not left as a failing patch.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Wethersfield (the obligee). If you abandon the work or your restoration fails, the town can recover its repair costs against the bond, up to $10,000.
The bond stays in place for the permit period. Keep it active until the town accepts your restoration; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so a long job never lapses on a missed email.
