Any municipality, utility company, authority, corporation, contractor, plumber or individual who, while constructing or installing facilities under, in or over any road, highway or easement area, thereby causes damage to any part of a County sewage works shall immediately notify the office of the Administrator of such damage.

Prior to granting approval for any sewer construction or connection, the Administrator may require the applicant to supply, at his own cost and expense, maps, plans, reports, specifications and other data which properly describe the proposed work. The applicant may be required to post bonds, undertakings, guaranties and insurance policies in forms and amounts acceptable to the Administrator to guarantee completion of the proposed work and restoration and to indemnify and save harmless the County of Suffolk and its officers, agents, servants and employees from damage or loss arising out of or in connection with the work.
