What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Fairfield licenses water and sewer service contractors through its Utilities Department, and conditions that license on a $25,000 performance and maintenance bond. The bond guarantees that your service work on the city's water and sewer system is done to spec and stays sound through the maintenance period.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fairfield (the obligee). If your tap, connection, or service work fails or is left defective and you do not correct it, the city can recover against the bond to make repairs.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who do clean work and stand behind it through the maintenance term treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk. We track the 12/31 renewal and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
