About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Cranston drainlayer bond covers

A drainlayer connects private drains and sewer laterals to the public system, and the City of Cranston registers anyone who does that work. The bond guarantees a registered drainlayer follows the city drain and sewer rules and properly restores any street or surface they open.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Cranston (the obligee). If a drainlayer leaves a defective connection or fails to restore the road, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your Cranston registration continuous. Pricing starts from $100 based on the bond amount and credit tier, and the application collects no credit information.

City of Cranston — drainlayer registration requirementThe City of Cranston requires this bond as a condition of its drainlayer registration; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Cranston (administered through its Department of Public Works / sewer division). Confirm the required amount on your registration before you apply.
