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.
