Indianapolis Citizens Water, IN Contractor Bond
Overview
Working as a contractor for Indianapolis Citizens Water requires you to carry a specific surety bond before you can perform any work on their water system infrastructure.

If your work causes damage or loss, Citizens Water and affected parties have a direct mechanism for recovery. Bond Titan makes it fast and simple to get this bond online so you can move forward with your contractor approval.
Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors who have been approved or are seeking approval to perform work on the Indianapolis Citizens Water system need this bond. If you install, repair, tap, or otherwise work on water mains, service lines, or related infrastructure under Citizens Water's jurisdiction, this bond is part of your registration requirements. It applies to plumbers, utility contractors, and excavation contractors who work within Citizens Water's service territory in Indianapolis. You cannot begin permitted work under Citizens Water without this bond in place.
What is this Bond For?
Indianapolis Citizens Water requires this bond to protect the utility and its customers from financial harm caused by a contractor's failure to meet workmanship, safety, or compliance standards. It is a three-party agreement: you are the principal, Citizens Water is the obligee, and the surety stands behind your obligations. If you abandon a job, cause damage to the water system, or fail to restore a work site properly, a valid claim against this bond provides compensation. The bond does not protect you — it protects Citizens Water and the public.
When is it Required?
Registering or renewing your contractor status with Indianapolis Citizens Water is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Citizens Water will not issue permits or allow work to begin until your bond is on file and verified. If your existing bond lapses or is cancelled, your authorization to work on the system is immediately at risk. Contractors coming onto a new project under Citizens Water oversight should confirm their bond is current before mobilizing.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the service territory of Indianapolis Citizens Water in Marion County, Indiana. It is not a statewide contractor license bond and does not satisfy requirements in any other Indiana municipality or utility district. All bond obligations run directly to Indianapolis Citizens Water as the named obligee.
