What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Dallas regulates who connects to its commercial water and wastewater system, and conditions an installer's authorization on a $5,000 surety bond. It is a workmanship-and-restoration guarantee: that you install service taps to city standards and restore the right-of-way you disturb.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dallas (the obligee). If a tap is installed improperly, public infrastructure is damaged, or the right-of-way is left unrestored, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Installers who tap to spec and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a routine authorization formality.
