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 $600 flat — 3% of the $20,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The application is five minutes and this bond has no credit check.
















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 check 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.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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 — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
