What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Open-cut sewer excavation tears up the road and the right-of-way and has to be backfilled and restored to township standard. The Township of Butman conditions a sewer excavation permit on a surety bond so the township has a financial backstop if the trench, the connection, or the restoration is left defective.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Township of Butman (the obligee). If your excavation damages township property or the restoration fails, the township can recover against the $10,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who backfill, compact, and restore to standard treat the bond as a permit formality.

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 $10,000 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.
