Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a plumbing or water services contractor seeking approval to perform work regulated by Metro Water Services of Nashville and Davidson Counties, this bond is required before you can operate under that authorization. Any contractor connecting to, installing, repairing, or modifying water service lines within Nashville and Davidson Counties falls under Metro Water Services' oversight. This applies to both new applicants and contractors renewing their standing with the utility authority. If Metro Water Services has told you that you need this bond, you're in the right place.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that the contractor — the principal — will follow the rules, standards, and permit conditions set by Metro Water Services of Nashville and Davidson Counties — the obligee. If the contractor causes damage, performs substandard work, or violates Metro Water Services requirements, the bond provides a financial remedy. It holds contractors accountable for the quality and compliance of their water services work throughout Nashville and Davidson Counties. Metro Water Services uses this bond as a condition of approval to ensure only responsible contractors work on its systems.
When is it Required?
Maintaining active bond coverage is an ongoing condition of your approval status with Metro Water Services — not a one-time step. You must have this bond in place before Metro Water Services will authorize you to perform water services work, and it must remain active for as long as you operate under that authorization. If your approval term renews, your bond coverage must be renewed to match. Any lapse in coverage puts your authorization at risk and may stop your work in the field.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies specifically to contractor work regulated by Metro Water Services within Nashville and Davidson Counties, Tennessee.
