What it is and who needs it.
What the Farmington drain-layer bond guarantees
Building sewers in Farmington must be installed by a licensed drain layer, and the Town of Farmington conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond. Connecticut drain-layer licensing sits under Chapter 393 of the Connecticut General Statutes, and the bond protects the town's sewer system from defective connections and unrestored excavations.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Farmington (the obligee). If a drain layer makes a defective connection, damages the public sewer, or leaves an excavation unrestored, the town can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Drain layers who make sound connections and restore the right of way treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

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 $5,000 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
