About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Hunter-Granger excavation contractor bond is a restoration and compliance guarantee for the district's water and sewer infrastructure. When you excavate to connect or work near district lines, the district wants assurance you will restore the site and follow its construction standards.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Hunter-Granger Improvement District (the obligee). If your work damages district facilities or the site is left out of compliance, the district can recover against the bond up to $5,000.

The bond stays on file as a condition of working in the district. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your $5,000 filing — and your standing to excavate in the district — stays continuous.
