DGSD sewer contractor bonds.
$100 flat.
A contractor performing sanitary sewer connection, disconnection, or repair work within the Downers Grove Sanitary District must have a $10,000 surety bond on file with the District before the work begins. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft pull only.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Downers Grove Sanitary District, which treats wastewater for Downers Grove and surrounding DuPage County communities, requires that all sanitary sewer connection, disconnection, and repair work be performed by a contractor with a $10,000 surety bond on file with the District. The District's sewer permits office administers this requirement as a condition of doing work on or near its sanitary sewer system.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Downers Grove Sanitary District (the obligee), protecting the District and its ratepayers against damage or non-compliant work performed on the sewer system. If a bonded contractor's work causes a covered loss, the District can make a claim against the bond, up to $10,000, to recover it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. This bond is a District regulatory requirement rather than a state-level Illinois statute — we name the Downers Grove Sanitary District's sewer permits office as the authority because a public ordinance section number was not independently verifiable at the time this page was written; confirm any code citation directly with the District before relying on it.
