What it is and who needs it.
What the drain layer bond actually guarantees
When a licensed drain layer opens an Enfield street to tap the public sewer, the work happens in the town right-of-way — cutting pavement, connecting the lateral, backfilling, and restoring the trench and pavement. The Town of Enfield conditions the drain layer license on a surety bond so the Town is protected if a connection is left unfinished or the street is not restored properly.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Town of Enfield (the obligee). If a connection or restoration is not completed to town standards, Enfield 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. We have not cited a specific municipal code section for this requirement because it is administered at the licensing-department level; confirm your required amount with the Town, and we will match it.

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.
How to file it
File with the Town of Enfield. Submit the executed bond with your drain layer license application or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Town insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
