What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Fairfax County regulates private well construction through its Health Department, and conditions a well water supply contractor's registration on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a property-owner-and-public-health protection guarantee: it backs your compliance with the County's well construction and permitting rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Fairfax County (the obligee), with the homeowners whose wells you build as the protected parties. A defective or abandoned well that violates County rules — and harms an owner or the groundwater — gives a claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We keep your $10,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
