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.

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.
How to file it
