What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Town of Wallingford conditions sewer-connection and excavation work in the public right-of-way on a $5,000 surety bond, administered through the Town’s Public Works / sewer division. The bond stands behind your obligation to make the sewer tie-in or excavation to Town standard and restore the surface you disturb.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Wallingford (the obligee). If a sewer connection is left improperly made or a trench unrestored, the Town can recover against the bond rather than spending its own budget on the repair.
It is not insurance for you — if Wallingford makes a valid claim and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Contractors who make their tie-ins and restore their cuts properly treat the bond as a permit formality.

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 premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
