What it is and who needs it.
What the tapping bond actually covers
Butler County operates its own water and sewer system, and requires contractors who tap into county water mains and sanitary sewers to register and post a surety bond first. Tapping is the work of cutting into a live main to add a service connection.
The bond is a system-and-public guarantee: it backs your promise to make taps and connections to County standards, to protect the mains you cut into, and to restore the street, curb, and right-of-way you disturb. If a contractor leaves a defective tap, a leak, or a settled trench, the County can recover against the bond.
It is a three-party guarantee — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Butler County (the obligee). It is not insurance for you; if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
