What Is a Sewer Contractor Bond?

A Sewer Contractor Bond is a type of surety bond required by the Village of Arlington Heights for contractors who perform work on sewer systems. This bond guarantees that the contractor will:

• Complete their work according to the village's regulations.

• Protect public infrastructure and property.

• Resolve any damages or issues resulting from their work.

Why Does Arlington Heights Require This Bond?

The Village of Arlington Heights mandates this bond to:

• Ensure Compliance: Enforce adherence to municipal codes and safety standards.

• Protect Public Property: Safeguard village-owned sewer systems and surrounding infrastructure from potential damage.

• Guarantee Quality Work: Ensure contractors complete projects as required by their permits.

• Provide Financial Security: Offer recourse for damages caused by contractor negligence or noncompliance.

Who Needs a Sewer Contractor Bond?

This bond is required for:

• Sewer Contractors: Businesses or individuals performing sewer construction, repair, or maintenance within Arlington Heights.

• Subcontractors: Those working under a general contractor but directly involved in sewer-related tasks.

• Developers: Engaged in projects involving sewer connections or installations.

How Does the Bond Work?

A Sewer Contractor Bond involves three parties:

1. Principal: The contractor or business obtaining the bond.

2. Obligee: The Village of Arlington Heights requiring the bond.

3. Surety: The company issuing the bond, guaranteeing the contractor’s compliance with local laws.

If the bonded contractor fails to meet their obligations, the village can file a claim against the bond. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond’s value but will seek reimbursement from the contractor.
