[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Waterford 5-6-1975 by resolution.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
Prior to being issued a permit for the installation of a building
sewer, a contractor must post a bond of $1,000 [where several permits
are requested for work to be performed over a period of time, the
one bond will suffice] and show evidence of the following:
A.
That he owns a backhoe and dump truck.
B.
That he has been active in the construction business during the past
five years.
C.
That he maintains a current liability policy of at least $100,000/$300,000
personal injury and $50,000 property damage during the lifetime of
anticipated work within the Town.
It is the intent of these regulations to ensure the overall
protection of the sewer-district-owned sewerage collection and treatment
system by assuring that all lines hereafter connected to the public
sewer system are properly installed and to guard against other than
intended sanitary waste from entering the system.
The Town assumes no responsibility for any actions of the contractor,
nor will the Town serve as a collection agent for the contractor.
Homeowners shall have freedom of choice as to which approved
contractor will install his building sewer.
The Town reserves the right to remove a contractor from the
approved list for cause.
