What it is and who needs it.
What the water line installer bond covers
The Carter County Highway Department controls the county roads and rights-of-way, and conditions any work that cuts into them — including water line installation — on a surety bond. The bond is a right-of-way restoration guarantee: it stands behind your excavation, backfill, paving, and final restoration so the road and right-of-way are returned to county standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Carter County Highway Department (the obligee). If an installer leaves the right-of-way unrestored or causes damage, the Department can draw on the bond to complete the repair.
The Highway Department sizes the bond amount to the scope of the work, but the premium we charge is a flat $100 either way. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the bond at $100, and the application collects no credit information.
