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.
