Wood County, OH NW Water & Sewer District - Sewer Tapper Bond
Overview
Wood County's Northwest Water and Sewer District requires every licensed sewer tapper to carry this bond before connecting any structure to the district's system. It guarantees the district — and the public it serves — that your work meets district standards, that installations are performed correctly, and that any damage, faulty connection, or code violation you cause will be remedied at your expense, not the district's. Operating without it means the district cannot authorize your taps, and your customers' projects stall.
Who Needs This Bond?
Licensed plumbers and sewer contractors who pull sewer tap permits in Wood County's NW Water and Sewer District, excavating contractors who perform the lateral connections from structures to district mains, and new construction builders who use in-house crews to make sewer connections all need this bond. If you tap, connect, or tie into the Northwest Water and Sewer District's collection system for any reason, this bond is your ticket to work.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the Northwest Water and Sewer District and the residents of Wood County from financial harm caused by a sewer tapper's improper work. It backs your obligation to install connections per district specifications, restore disturbed pavement and ground to acceptable condition, and fix any defective tap that causes infiltration, inflow, or system damage. When a claim is filed and paid, you — as the principal — are responsible for reimbursing the surety.
When is it Required?
Before the Northwest Water and Sewer District will issue a sewer tap permit, your bond must already be on file with the district. The bond requirement surfaces at the permit application stage — you cannot schedule an inspection, begin excavation, or make the physical connection until the district has confirmed your bond is active and in the correct amount. Get the bond first, then apply for your permit.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a Wood County local requirement specific to the Northwest Water and Sewer District's service territory. It does not satisfy permit requirements in any other Ohio sewer authority, municipality, or county. Work performed outside the NW Water and Sewer District's jurisdiction is outside the scope of this bond entirely.
