What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Tapping a public sewer main means cutting into township infrastructure and restoring the street, the connection, and the surrounding right-of-way. The Charter Township of Chesterfield conditions a sewer connection permit on a surety bond so the township has a backstop if the work is left defective or the right-of-way is not restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Charter Township of Chesterfield (the obligee). If your connection work damages the township system or the restoration fails, the township can recover against the $5,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who make a clean tap and restore the right-of-way 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 $5,000 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.
