What it is and who needs it.
What the plumbing contractor bond actually covers
The Jericho Water District — the public water supplier serving the Jericho/Syosset area of the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County — requires a plumbing contractor to keep a performance bond on file before connecting to or working on its mains. The bond is a performance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to make connections, backfill, and restore the work to the district's standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Jericho Water District (the obligee). If a connection is done improperly, damages a district main, or is not restored, the district can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the district, you repay the surety. The district sets the penal sum and keeps the bond on file at its headquarters; enter that figure and see your price — no credit check up to $100,000, and most applicants approve instantly.

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 the Jericho Water District. Submit the executed bond to district headquarters so it is on file before you work on the mains. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the district 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.
