What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Georgia regulates well drilling through the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) under the Water Well Standards Act of 1985 (O.C.G.A. §§ 12-5-120 to 12-5-138). Contractors who drill or construct wells register with the state and post a surety bond as part of that registration.
The bond guarantees you construct wells in compliance with the state's water-well standards — protecting groundwater and the property owners who hire you. It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the state and harmed parties as protected parties.
The required amount depends on your registration class. The carrier prices this page at the $10,000 figure; some classes of driller and contractor registration carry higher amounts. If your EPD registration names a different amount, send it to us and we'll confirm the price for that specific bond.
