Green Mountain Water and Sanitation District Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors installing, repairing or replacing water service lines or sewer service lines inside the Green Mountain Water and Sanitation District, which serves parts of Lakewood and Jefferson County. The District’s rules are blunt about it: to prevent damage to District facilities, service lines may only be installed, repaired or replaced by a bonded contractor or owner, and the District states plainly that contractors must be licensed and bonded to work inside it. Work must also conform to the applicable plumbing code, the regulations of the City of Lakewood and, where relevant, Denver Water, and it may need the District engineer’s approval. A completed service line repair permit application goes to the District before work starts, or on the next business day if the work began outside business hours.

Term & renewal
Term: The bond has to answer for the work for one year after the District inspector approves it — the rules set the guarantee period, not the sum.
Renewal: Maintained while you are licensed with the District and while any work of yours is still inside its one year guarantee period.
Filing
Filed with the District along with proof of insurance. No figure appears on this page because the District publishes none: its rules require a bond adequate to guarantee the entire product of your work, including backfilling and street repairs, against any failure for one year after the District inspector approves it — the sum follows the scope. Comprehensive general liability and auto liability cover is required for the full period of the work, broad enough to indemnify the District, its directors, employees, agents, consultants and engineer against claims arising from your work or a subcontractor’s, with subrogation waived against the District. A plumber’s license may not be lent to another plumber, though work contracted for by a licensed plumber may be performed by journeymen or apprentices under direct supervision.
