What it is and who needs it.
What the discharge bond actually covers
The City of Columbus permits waste haulers to discharge hauled liquid waste — septage, holding-tank waste, and similar — into the city’s wastewater treatment system through its Division of Sewerage & Drainage. The discharge bond is a financial guarantee tied to that permit.
It backs the hauler's compliance with the city's discharge rules and the fees and charges owed for using the system. If a hauler discharges out of compliance, damages the system, or fails to pay the charges due, the City of Columbus can recover against the bond.
Because the amount is set by the city on the permit rather than by a single statute, you enter the figure Columbus required; the premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum — the application collects no credit information, and the same honest pricing runs through every bond we write.
