IL sewer cut-in bonds.
$100 flat.
Cut-in work on the public side of a Four Rivers Sanitation Authority sewer connection carries a larger bond than private-property work — $20,000 instead of $5,000. Ours is still $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — with the same short application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Four Rivers Sanitation Authority sets a higher registration bond — $20,000 — for a contractor performing sewer service and cut-in work on public property, reflecting the greater exposure of working in the Authority's own public sewer mains and rights-of-way.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Four Rivers Sanitation Authority (the obligee), with the Authority's public infrastructure and the community it serves as the protected parties. If cut-in work on the public side damages the system or violates registration terms, a claim can reach this bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who also work on the private-property side of connections need the separate $5,000 bond in addition to this one.
