Torrington Street Digging Permit Bond
What it is & who requires it
Anyone digging in a Torrington street or alley for any purpose. The city clerk issues the permit only after receiving the bond. The bond runs to the city and is conditioned on repairing the street or alley within forty-eight hours of completing the digging. If you fail to repair to the building inspector’s satisfaction within the time the bond allows, the city may do the work at your expense and recover the cost from the bond. There are two forms and you pick by how you work: a per-permit bond for a single hole, or an annual bond if you will be digging in various streets and alleys over a period of time.
Obligee: City of Torrington (City Clerk; Building Inspector). Citation: Torrington Municipal Code § 12.04.020 (Digging in streets — permit and bond); § 12.04.030 (repair responsibility); prior code §§ 14-302, 14-303.

Term & renewal
Term: Conditioned on repair of the street or alley within forty-eight hours after the digging for which the permit was secured is completed.
Renewal: Filed per permit for a single hole. A contractor digging in various streets and alleys over a period of time files annually instead, on a bond covering all of that work.
Filing
Filed with the Torrington city clerk before the digging permit issues. The ordinance states the penal sum for the single-hole permit outright and offers no cash deposit or other instrument in its place, which is why the figure is published here. If you dig in the city regularly, ask about the annual form instead: the same section lets a contractor file one bond each year covering all of its digging in the city’s streets and alleys, at a somewhat larger sum, conditioned on repairing any and all of them within a reasonable time. The forty-eight-hour repair condition on the single-hole form is short — plan the restoration into the job. Authority: Torrington Municipal Code § 12.04.020.
