About this bond

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the SD1 sewer tapper bond? +
The bond amount is fixed at $6,338 by Sanitation District No. 1. A flat 3% of that is about $190, which is below our $275 minimum — so the premium is $275, the same for every sewer tapper.
Do I pay the $6,338? +
No. You pay $275. The $6,338 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many tappers finish and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount utility bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you are a registered SD1 tapper. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
