What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Fairfield conditions water branch servicer registration on a $5,000 surety bond. Tapping a city water main and running a service branch cuts into public ways and touches the potable water system, so the bond guarantees that you'll make connections to the city's code and restore the right-of-way — and won't leave the city or a resident with a faulty service or unrestored cut.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Fairfield (the obligee). If you violate the city's water or contractor ordinance, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Servicers who connect cleanly and keep the city whole treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
