About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Southwest Licking Community Water & Sewer District registers the contractors who install and connect sewer and water work in its service area, and conditions that registration on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a workmanship-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to do sewer and water work to the district's specifications and to restore any public property you disturb.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Southwest Licking Community Water & Sewer District (the obligee). If a contractor leaves work out of spec, damages a district main, or fails to make required repairs, the district can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the district standards and restore their cuts treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
