What it is and who needs it.
What the installer bond guarantees
A subsurface sewage disposal installer bond is a performance and compliance guarantee to the municipality. The Township of West Milford conditions a septic installer license on this bond so that septic systems are installed to code and the public health and groundwater are protected.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of West Milford (the obligee). If you install a system improperly, damage Township property, or violate the local septic requirements, the Township — or a harmed property owner — can recover against the $10,000 bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. Let it lapse and the Township can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
