Minnesota licenses water conditioning contractors — the businesses that install and service water softeners and treatment equipment — through the Department of Labor and Industry. As a condition of licensing, Minn. Stat. 326B.56 requires each contractor to give and maintain a $3,000 bond to the state.
The bond is conditioned on the faithful and lawful performance of all water conditioning installation or servicing done in the state, and is for the benefit of persons suffering injuries or damages from that work. It is written by a corporate surety licensed in Minnesota and filed with the commissioner.
A useful detail: once you hold this state bond, no political subdivision can require its own water conditioning bond. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
