Clinton sewer & drain layer bonds.
$275. Five minutes.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A sewer and drain layer bond is a code-compliance and public-property guarantee. Tapping the City's sewer and laying drains in Clinton affects the public system and the streets above it — the City wants a financial backstop that the work meets its plumbing and excavation codes and that any disturbed surface is restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Clinton (the obligee). If your work violates City code or damages the public sewer or street, the City can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the term of your license. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your sewer and drain layer license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $1,000 filing continuous.
