The Town of Wanatah, Indiana requires a bond before an excavation contractor opens, digs, or bores in town streets, alleys, or the public right-of-way. The bond guarantees to the town that you will backfill and restore the pavement and right-of-way to town standards after your work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Wanatah as the obligee. If you leave an excavation unrestored, or a patch settles or fails, and the town has to repair it, the town can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the town, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill and restore to spec treat the bond as a permit formality.
