What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Minnesota licenses well and boring contractors through the Department of Health, and conditions the license on a $25,000 surety bond. The bond is a performance-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work being done in compliance with Minnesota's well code under Chapter 103I and the rules adopted under it.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Minnesota (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. If a contractor performs work that doesn't comply with the well code, the commissioner can compensate people injured or suffering financial loss from the bond proceeds.
The bond is in lieu of local well bonds — the statute makes the state bond stand in for any well bond a political subdivision would otherwise require. Let it lapse and your license is at risk, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $25,000 filing continuous.
