What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A water and sewer tapper bond is a public-property guarantee. When you cut into the City of Ravenna's water or sewer main to make a service connection, the city wants a financial backstop that the tap, the restoration, and the public infrastructure are left in good order.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Ravenna (the obligee). If a tap is done improperly, the main or street is left damaged, or city utility rules are violated, Ravenna can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who tap to code and restore the site treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
