Excavation Permits

The installation of sewer and water laterals requires the issuance of an excavation permit. Any excavation within the Town right-of-way requires the contractor to have a $5,000.00 street opening bond on file with the Town Clerk. A six (6) hour inspection notice is required to allow Engineering Staff time to schedule personnel to inspect the lateral prior to covering the installation. Specifications to meet Town construction standards are given to the applicant at the time of the issuance of the permit. If the excavation is on a State or County Highway, a permit from the appropriate agency is also required. There is no fee for an excavation permit.
