About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the North Shore sewer bond actually guarantees

The North Shore Water Reclamation District treats wastewater for over 300,000 residents across fifteen communities in eastern Lake County. The District's Engineering & Permits Department requires a sewer permit bond, payable to the District, before it authorizes a new connection to its sanitary sewer system or construction work — new lines, extensions, or repairs — that affects it.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the District (the obligee), with the District's sewer infrastructure and ratepayers as the protected party. The bond backs the promise to complete permitted sewer work to the District's specifications and to restore any District property disturbed in the process.

Because the Engineering & Permits Department sizes the bond to the scope of each connection or project, there is no single fixed amount — enter the figure your permit specifies, and we price it from a $100 minimum. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

The District's Engineering & Permits Department sets the required bond amount to the scope of the work; confirm your figure with the Department before you apply.
