About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the right-of-way bond actually guarantees

The City of Norton controls its streets and rights of way, and conditions a permit to open the right of way for a combined sewer and water main connection on a $6,500 surety bond. The bond is a guarantee to the city that you’ll make both connections to municipal standards and restore the pavement and surface you disturb.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Norton (the obligee). If a contractor leaves the right of way improperly restored or damages the sewer, water main, or roadway, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who connect cleanly and restore the right of way treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

City of Norton — Right of Way (Sewer & Water)The City of Norton requires this $6,500 bond as a condition of its right-of-way permit for a combined sewer and water main connection; the bond amount and terms are set by the city. The bond runs to the City of Norton and guarantees proper connection and restoration of the public right of way.
