What is this bond?

This is a financial guarantee required by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) of Greater Chicago. It ensures that contractors and utility companies properly perform work within the District's right-of-way and restore the property to its original condition. The bond protects the District from financial loss if the permittee damages infrastructure or fails to complete the required restoration.

Who needs it?

Contractors, utility companies, and developers planning to excavate, construct, or perform maintenance within the MWRD's right-of-way in Greater Chicago typically need this bond. It is generally required before the District will issue a right-of-way permit.

Why is it required?

The MWRD requires this bond to safeguard its public water and wastewater infrastructure from damage caused by third-party work. It acts as a financial safety net, ensuring funds are available to repair district property if a contractor abandons the project or performs substandard work. Requirements vary, so applicants should verify specific bond criteria directly with the issuing agency.
