What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Clermont County Water Resources Department owns and operates the county's public sewer system, and registers the contractors — sewer tappers — who connect private service lines to the public mains. As a condition of that registration, it requires a $10,000 surety bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Clermont County Water Resources Department (the obligee). The bond guarantees that sewer taps and connections are made to the Department's standards and that any damage to the public system is repaired.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim on a defective tap or unrepaired damage, you repay the surety. Tappers who work to Department standards treat the bond as a registration formality, and we track renewals so yours stays continuous.

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 $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
