Ellington Right-of-Way Bond
What it is & who requires it
A contractor that opens or excavates a public street, highway, or right-of-way in Ellington must post this permit bond with Town of Ellington before the road-opening / excavation permit issues, guaranteeing proper backfill, restoration of the pavement and public way, and reimbursement of the municipality for repairs. (CT preempts municipal general-contractor licensure — the Ellington contractor requirement resolves to this public-way bond, not a GC bond.)
