What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Gahanna conditions water and sewer installer registration on a $5,000 surety bond. Connecting to the city's water and sanitary lines cuts into public ways and touches the utility systems, so the bond guarantees that you'll install to the city's code and restore the right-of-way — and won't leave the city or a resident with a faulty connection or unrestored cut.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Gahanna (the obligee). If you violate the city's water/sewer 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. Installers who connect cleanly and keep the city whole treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
