About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A sewer tapper bond is a guarantee to the sewer district. The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati wants a financial backstop that anyone tapping into its sewers does the work to the district's standards and properly restores the connection and surrounding public infrastructure.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (the obligee). If a tapper damages the sewer system or fails to follow the district's tapping rules, the district can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Tappers who follow the district's standards treat the bond as a registration formality. The bond runs to a fixed 12/31 statutory renewal date.
