What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A drain layer bond is a public-infrastructure protection guarantee. When you connect a property to the Township's storm or sanitary drains, the Township of Macomb wants a financial backstop that the work meets its specifications and that any damage to public drains, roads, or rights-of-way gets repaired.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of Macomb (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a layer's work is defective or damages public infrastructure, the Township can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as you're licensed. Let it lapse and the Township can pull your drain-connection privileges — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $1,000 filing continuous.
