What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Waterford Township, in Oakland County, runs its own sanitary sewer system and requires anyone who builds or connects sewer lines into it to register as a sewer builder and post a $5,000 bond first. It's a workmanship-and-compliance guarantee to the township.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Waterford Township (the obligee). If a sewer builder damages the public system, leaves a defective tap or connection, or fails to follow the township's sewer-use standards, the township can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Builders who do clean work and restore the site treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
