About this bond

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 and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check — the same honest pricing as every bond we write.

City of Columbus — Division of Sewerage & DrainageThe City of Columbus requires a surety bond as a condition of its waste hauler / hauled-waste discharge permit, administered by the Department of Public Utilities, Division of Sewerage & Drainage; the bond amount and terms are set by the city on the permit. We have not reproduced a specific Columbus City Code section here — confirm the current requirement and amount with the Division of Sewerage & Drainage.
