What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Sanitation District No. 1 (SD1) is the public sewer and stormwater utility serving Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties in Northern Kentucky. SD1 registers the contractors ("sewer tappers") allowed to make connections to its system, and conditions that registration on a $6,338 surety bond.
The bond is a compliance-and-restoration guarantee to the district: it stands behind your obligation to make taps and connections to SD1's standards and to repair any damage to the public sewer system. SD1 is the obligee.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as you are a registered SD1 tapper, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $6,338 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
