What it is and who needs it.
What the water and sewer bond actually covers
A water and sewer bond is a completion-and-acceptance guarantee. When you connect to or extend the Washington Township water and sewer system — taps, mains, lift stations, service leads — the Township wants assurance the utility work is built to its standards and properly accepted.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Washington Township (the obligee). If the utility work isn't completed to standard and the Township has to correct it, it can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build the utilities to township spec treat the bond as a permit formality. Enter the amount the Township set, and see your exact price — 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — at the application.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with Washington Township. Submit the executed bond to Washington Township to satisfy your water and sewer permit or agreement. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Township insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
