What it is and who needs it.
What the drain layer bond guarantees
A drain layer connects private drains and sewer laterals to the public system, and the Town of Cumberland licenses anyone who does that work. The bond guarantees a registered drain layer follows the town 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, and the Town of Cumberland (the obligee). If a drain layer leaves a defective connection or fails to restore the road, the town can recover against the $5,000 bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your Cumberland filing continuous.
