About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The District's own bond form licenses the principal as a "Sewer Constructor (Private)" as defined in the Code of Laws of the Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District, and conditions that license on faithfully performing the work under the District's rules, regulations, resolutions and ordinances, and on leaving every sewer, street, alley, sidewalk and pavement disturbed by the work in as good a condition as it was before work started.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District (the obligee), with the District and the host municipality as the protected parties. If a licensed contractor's work damages District infrastructure or a public street, the District can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum, and the surety can terminate future liability with 30 days' written notice — permits already issued stay covered regardless.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The District's own form runs the obligation for one year from the bond date and, separately, for one full year after the last work is completed on any disturbed street, alley, sidewalk or pavement — whichever ends later — unless the surety issues a continuation certificate to renew it.

Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District — Code of Laws (1980)The District's own "Sewer Constructor (Private) License or Permit Bond" form, issued under the Code of Laws of the Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District of 1980, requires this $10,000 bond before the District's Executive Director will license and permit a private sewer contractor to work on District-affected sewers, streets, alleys, sidewalks or pavements within Cook or DuPage Counties.

After you buy

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 $10,000 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

File with the District. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District alongside your Sewer Constructor (Private) application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
