What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
This bond is a municipal-protection guarantee tied to two things at once: connecting to the Town of Westport sanitary sewer and opening the town road to do it. The Town wants a financial backstop that the sewer lateral is made correctly and the road is fully restored afterward.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Westport (the obligee). If you make a defective sewer connection, damage town property, or fail to restore the road opening to the town’s standard, the Town can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who make clean connections and restore their cuts treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

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 $25,000 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.
How to file it

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
