What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Southwest Metropolitan Water & Sanitation District is a special district that owns and operates water and sewer infrastructure in the southwest Denver metro area. To work in the District's right-of-way or near its mains, a contractor pulls a permit and posts a $10,000 bond. The bond is a restoration and protection guarantee: it stands behind your restoring the right-of-way and not damaging the District's water and sewer lines.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Southwest Metropolitan Water & Sanitation District (the obligee). If a contractor damages District infrastructure or leaves the right-of-way unrestored, the District can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your $10,000 filing stays continuous for the life of your permit.

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 $10,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
