The contractor posts it, not the homeowner

The $20,000 sanitary sewer contractor bond is posted by the contractor doing the sewer work. If you hold a state license for the work, that license does not replace the Town's bond. The Town wants its own guarantee that work tied into its public sewer is done right.

What the bond guarantees

The Town of North Haven is the obligee. The bond promises that the contractor will follow the Town's sewer regulations and permit conditions when building, connecting or repairing building sewers, and will pay for defective work or damage to the public sewer, road or right of way. If the contractor does not, the Town can make a claim against the bond, and the contractor repays the surety for any claim it pays.

Before you order the bond

Ask the Town of North Haven which office takes the bond, whether it uses its own bond form, and how long the bond must stay in force. Have your business name exactly as it will appear on the Town's contractor records.
