Step 5: Get your utility license You'll need this license to install water and sewage pipes and storm drains. For this, you'll have to have a thousand hours of experience and you'll need to get it notarized just like before. You'll need $50 to take the test and $200 if you pass and you'll also have to have at least 70% of the Certification of Fitness PU exam passed.

You'll need to have the application completed, and be sure you have $10,000 surety bond, a certification of insurance for at least $20,00 property damage and $50,000 if someone is injured or killed, ($100,000 for multiple people), $100 application fee and a $200 license fee.
