Check the amount first

Plainville drain layer bonds are written at two amounts, $10,000 and $25,000. The town decides which one applies to you. The most common mistake is buying the wrong one and having the town reject it at the counter. Call the town office that handles your drain layer license or sewer connection permit and ask which amount and which bond form it expects.

What the bond guarantees

The bond is a promise from you and a surety company to the Town of Plainville. If your drain work damages town property, fails inspection and is not corrected, or breaks the rules attached to your license or permit, the town can make a claim. The surety pays valid claims up to $10,000 and then collects that money back from you. It protects the town. It does not insure your business.

Who posts it

The contractor laying or connecting the drain posts the bond, in the name that appears on the town license or permit application. Property owners hiring a drain layer do not buy this bond themselves.

What it costs

You pay a premium, not the full $10,000. The surety sets the premium after reviewing the owner's credit and business history. Strong credit usually means a lower rate.
