To do sanitary-sewer work in the Town of North Haven, an approved sewer contractor files a $20,000 bond with the town's Water Pollution Control Authority. Ours is $100 flat, issued instantly — the same price for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit section.
Fixed-amount contractor bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Water Pollution Control Authority. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The North Haven Water Pollution Control Authority approves the contractors who connect to and work on the town's sanitary-sewer system, and conditions that approval on a $20,000 surety bond. The bond protects the public sewer from defective connections and unrestored excavations.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of North Haven (the obligee). If a contractor 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. Contractors who make sound connections and restore the right of way treat the bond as an approval formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application has no credit section.
