What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
This bond is a municipal-protection guarantee covering both right-of-way work and drain laying in Glastonbury. When you open a town street or lay drains, the Town wants a financial backstop that you’ll restore the road and drainage and not leave the public way damaged.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Glastonbury (the obligee). If you damage town property, fail to restore a road opening, or violate the town’s drain-laying standards, the Town can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore their work to the town’s standard treat the bond as a permit 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 $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
File with the Town. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Town of Glastonbury for your right-of-way / drain laying permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
