What it is and who needs it.
What the water & sewer bond actually covers
The City of Woonsocket conditions a water and sewer permit on a surety bond when a contractor connects to, taps, or excavates in the public water and sewer system. The bond is a restoration and compliance guarantee: it stands behind proper backfill, paving restoration, and compliance with the City's water and sewer standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Woonsocket (the obligee). If a contractor leaves an excavation or street cut unrestored, damages a main, or violates the permit, the City can recover against the bond.
Because the amount tracks the scope of the connection and street opening, the City names the figure on your permit. Enter that figure at the application and your exact price appears — pricing is 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum, with the same honest pricing as every bond we write.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
