Cottonwood Improvement District Wastewater Collection System Contractor Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors and plumbers who lay, repair, alter or connect a building sewer to the Cottonwood Improvement District’s wastewater collection system, which serves parts of Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, Murray, Midvale, Millcreek and unincorporated Salt Lake County. The District’s regulations require a permit before any such work and require the permit application to come from a licensed and bonded contractor or plumber; construction of a District sewer must likewise be done by a bonded contractor licensed in Utah. The bond runs to the District and answers for your compliance with its rules and for any damage or loss occasioned by your work.

Term & renewal
Term: Three years — the District’s bond form runs for a term beginning on the date of issue and ending three years later, matching the term of the Wastewater Contractor Permit it secures.
Renewal: If the permit is continued or extended, the bond may be extended to cover the additional terms, but only on a continuation certificate executed by the surety in a form the District accepts. The surety’s obligation is not cumulative from year to year.
Filing
Filed with the Cottonwood Improvement District on the District’s own Contractor Permit Bond form, in consideration of the District issuing you a Contractor Permit. The District prints the penal sum into the body of the form rather than leaving it to be negotiated, and its wastewater regulations name no cash deposit, escrow or letter of credit as an alternative — the security is a bond, which is why this one publishes an amount where most Utah bonds do not. The surety must be an insurance company qualified to do business in Utah. The bond stays in full force for the term of your permit unless the surety cancels it, which it may do on thirty days’ notice to the District, and the surety’s liability never exceeds the penal sum. Separately, anyone in the business of removing stoppages from a building drain or sewer who is not a licensed and bonded plumbing contractor must obtain a District permit and file a corporate surety bond in an amount the District specifies. Authority: the District’s Contractor Permit Bond form and its Wastewater Regulations.
