About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A drain layer / excavator bond is a municipal-protection guarantee. When you open the ground to lay drains or connect to the Town of Windsor Locks sewer system, the Town wants a financial backstop that you’ll restore the street, follow the connection rules, and not leave the public way damaged.

It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Windsor Locks (the obligee). If you damage town property, fail to backfill or restore a road opening properly, or violate the town’s drain-laying rules, the Town can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Drain layers who restore their cuts and follow the town’s standards treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

Town of Windsor Locks — drain layer / excavator registrationThe Town of Windsor Locks requires this $5,000 bond as a condition of registering as a licensed drain layer or excavator working in the town’s public ways and sewer system; the bond amount and terms are set by the Town of Windsor Locks (Department of Public Works / Water Pollution Control Authority). We have not cited a specific ordinance number because the exact municipal code section is not published in a way we can verify — confirm the current requirement with the Town.
