About this bond

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.
