About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Plainville drain-layer bond guarantees

Building sewers in Plainville must be installed by a licensed drain layer, and the Town of Plainville conditions that license on a $25,000 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 Plainville (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.
