No unauthorized personnel shall uncover, make any connection with or open into, use, alter or disturb any public sewer or appurtenances thereof without first obtaining a written permit from the governing body. Before a permit may be issued for excavating for plumbing in any public street, way, or alley, the person applying for such permit shall have executed unto the Village Clerk and deposited with the Clerk a certificate of insurance in the sum of $1,000,000, conditioned that he/she will perform faithfully all work with due care and skill, and in accordance with the law, rules and regulations established under the authority or any ordinances of the Village pertaining to plumbing. This certificate shall state that the person will indemnify and save harmless the village and the owner of the premises against all damages, costs, expenses, outlays and claims of every nature and kind arising out of the unskillfulness or negligence on his/her part in connection with plumbing or excavating for plumbing as prescribed in this chapter. Such certificate shall remain in force and must be executed for a period of one year except that on such expiration it shall remain in force as to all penalties, claims and demands that may have accrued thereunder prior to such expiration.
