What it is and who needs it.
What the hauled-wastes bond actually guarantees
Metro Water Recovery — operating as the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District — treats wastewater for much of the Denver metro region. Haulers who discharge septic, grease-trap, privy, and other non-hazardous hauled wastes into the District system must hold a Routine Non-Hazardous Hauled Wastes discharge permit, and the District conditions that permit on a surety bond.
The bond is a payment-and-compliance guarantee running to the District: it stands behind the District charges you incur and your compliance with the District's hauled-wastes rules. Per the District's Rules and Regulations, the bond is generally $1,000, or an amount equal to your anticipated charges for an average 60-day period, whichever is greater.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Metro Water Recovery (the obligee). If you fail to pay District charges or violate the hauled-wastes rules, the District can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
