A cash bond of $1,500 or irrevocable letter of credit must be

shall be maintained during construction and a certificate filed with
the Selectman's Office. If the driveway is not completed within one
year, the Town has the right to finish drawing on the bond funds.
This chapter shall not be construed as imposing upon the Town
or any official or employee of the Town liability or responsibility
for damage to any person injured by the performance of any excavation
or construction work for which this permit is being issued, nor shall
any official or employee be deemed to assume any liability or responsibility
by reason of inspection of work being done.
