About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Toledo sewer tapper bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee to the city. It backs your promise to make sewer connections to the City of Toledo's specifications and to restore the street and public sewer properly after a tap.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Toledo (the obligee). If a tap damages the public sewer main or the street is not restored, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Tappers who connect to spec and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a registration formality, nothing more.

City of Toledo — Division of Sewer & Drainage ServicesThe City of Toledo requires a $25,000 surety bond as a condition of sewer tapper registration to connect to the public sewer; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Toledo Department of Public Utilities. The bond runs to the City of Toledo as obligee and renews on the statutory December 31 date.
