What it is and who needs it.
What the side sewer bond covers
The Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District registers the contractors permitted to install and repair side sewers connecting to its system. It conditions that registration on a performance bond — a guarantee that your side sewer work meets District standards and that you restore the site properly.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District (the obligee). If a side sewer is installed improperly, a connection fails, or restoration is not completed to District spec, the District can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays the District, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to District standards treat the bond as a registration formality. We issue the amount the District set, from $100, with no credit check up to $500,000 in the application.

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.
How to file it
File with the District. Submit the executed bond to the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District with your contractor registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the District insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $500,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
