Detailed Information About the Colorado Sewer Contractor Bond:

The obligee is the District

Mountain Water & Sanitation District writes and enforces its own rules for work on its system, so a contractor working on sewer connections there answers to the District itself. The District is governed by a five member Board of Directors, with offices at 12365 Highway 285, Conifer, CO 80433. Under C.R.S. 32-1-1001(1)(m), a special district may adopt, amend and enforce bylaws and rules and regulations for carrying on its business, and under 32-1-1001(1)(j)(I) it may set fees and charges for its services and facilities.

Where the rules are

The District's Rules and Regulations, dated November 11, 2025, are posted on its Rates and Policies page, and the District says a complete booklet of its rules is available for inspection at the office Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The same page summarizes prohibited discharges to the public sewer, including flammable liquids, toxic substances, corrosive materials, and paint beyond brush cleaning residue, and notes the District's right to enter property for inspection, emergency service and maintenance.

What the bond guarantees

A sewer contractor bond is a promise to the District that the contractor will do its work on the District's system according to the District's rules, and will pay for damage, repairs or charges that result if it does not. If the contractor fails to make good, the District can claim on the bond, and the surety then looks to the contractor to repay what it paid.

Before the bond is issued

Call the District at (303) 838-1800 and ask for the current bond amount, whether it has its own bond form, the exact name it wants as obligee, and whether the bond is kept on file annually or posted per job. Have the surety write the bond to match those answers.
