About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A sanitary sewer contractor bond is a compliance and restoration guarantee to the Town of Hamden. When you tie into, repair, or extend the town's sanitary sewer system, Hamden wants a financial backstop that you'll do the work to code and restore any disturbed public property.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Hamden (the obligee). If you make a defective connection, damage the public sewer, or fail to restore the site, 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 do the work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

Town of Hamden sanitary sewer contractorThe Town of Hamden requires a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of working as a sanitary sewer contractor; the bond amount and terms are set by the Town of Hamden (typically through Public Works / the sewer authority). We have not cited a specific municipal code section because the requirement is administered at the department level — we issue the $10,000 bond the Town requires.
