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. We issue the amount the city sets at a flat 3% with no credit check.
