Trumbull sanitary sewer installer bonds.
From $100 a year.
Before a contractor can connect a building to the public sewers in Trumbull, it has to register with the Town of Trumbull Water Pollution Control Authority (WPCA), and registration requires a $5,000 Bond for Sanitary Sewer Connection on the Town’s own form. The one-year premium starts at $100.

How much does a Trumbull sanitary sewer installer bond cost?
From $100; the exact price shows at the application once you enter your bond amount.
Built around your Trumbull WPCA registration.
The WPCA will not register a sewer installer until the bond, insurance certificate and plumbing license are on file, and no sanitary sewer installation can be done in Trumbull without all three in force. Here is the whole process:
Send us your business details
Apply online with your firm’s legal name, address, ownership and contact details, plus a few short questions about your business history. The Town’s form already sets a $5,000 penal sum, so there is nothing to size.
A credit review sets your price
The application includes a credit review. Most applicants land at or near the $100 base premium; a higher credit tier can raise it, and you see your exact price before you pay.
Pay, sign & file it with the WPCA
Once you accept the price and pay, the executed bond is prepared with the surety’s power of attorney attached. File it with your registration application, the annual registration fee, your insurance certificate and a copy of your plumbing license at the WPCA office, 366 Church Hill Road.
What it is and who needs it.
What the Trumbull sewer installer bond guarantees
In Trumbull, only a contractor registered with the Water Pollution Control Authority can install a building sewer and connect it to the public sewers. The WPCA’s Sanitary Sewer Installer registration packet lists what registration takes: an annual registration fee payable to the Town, a certificate of liability insurance naming the Town of Trumbull as certificate holder, an active Connecticut P-1 or P-7 plumbing license, and a $5,000 Bond for Sanitary Sewer Connection on the Town’s attached form. Each connection then carries its own sewer permit.
The bond runs to the Town of Trumbull and the State of Connecticut jointly. Its conditions are practical: follow the sewer ordinance, the conditions of your registration and each permit, and any applicable State Highway Department rules; indemnify the Town and the State for damage to people, property or utilities caused by your work; restore every street you excavate to its prior condition and maintain it for at least one year after the work; pay within thirty days if the Town’s Agent has to repair it after notice; and pay any fines or penalties for violating the rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the Town and State (the obligees). It is not insurance for you — if the Town claims on the bond, you repay the surety. Registration is renewed each year, and the WPCA can revoke it under its regulations. Digging in a town road can also call for a separate Engineering Department street-opening license and bond, so confirm with Engineering whether your connections need it.

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 $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The term is set on the carrier’s application; the premium covers the period shown there.
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
Pay, sign & file it with the WPCA. Once you accept the price and pay, the executed bond is prepared with the surety’s power of attorney attached. File it with your registration application, the annual registration fee, your insurance certificate and a copy of your plumbing license at the WPCA office, 366 Church Hill Road.
What sets the price
From $100; your exact price appears at the application once you enter the amount.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application, one soft pull.
