What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Lorain requires a $25,000 sewer builder bond as a condition of registering to build sewers and utility work in the city. It is a public-property and code-compliance guarantee standing behind your obligation to install sewer work to city standards and restore any public property you disturb.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lorain (the obligee). If you fail to restore a street, leave defective sewer work, or violate city standards, the city can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Sewer builders who install to spec and restore the right of way treat the bond as a registration formality.
