What it is and who needs it.
What the connection bond actually guarantees
When you connect a property to East Lyme’s public water and sewer system, the work happens in the town right-of-way — cutting pavement, tapping a main, backfilling, and restoring the road. The Town of East Lyme conditions the connection permit on a surety bond so the town is protected if the work is left unfinished or the road is not restored properly.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of East Lyme (the obligee). If the connection or restoration is not completed to the town’s specifications, East Lyme can recover against the bond to finish or repair the work.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who tap the main cleanly and restore the trench to grade treat the bond as a permit formality.

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.
