Flagg Creek sewer contractor bonds.
$100 flat.

The Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District — a municipal corporation of Cook and DuPage Counties serving Burr Ridge and surrounding communities — licenses private sewer contractors under its own Code of Laws, and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — a soft credit pull at most, never a hard inquiry.

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.
