Sanitation District No. 1 (SD1) of Northern Kentucky requires a $6,338 sewer tapper bond as a condition of registering to tap or connect to its sewer system. At a flat 3% that lands at our $275 minimum. The application takes five minutes.
















Utility tapper bonds are about as simple as surety gets. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Sanitation District No. 1 sewer tapper registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$6,338 bond × 3% ≈ $190, below our floor — so $275, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
