Why do onsite sewage system installers need a surety bond?
The Alabama Onsite Wastewater Board requires basic-level licensees (basic installer license, manufacturer’s license, pumper’s license, portable restroom license) to post $15,000 surety bonds. Advanced-level licensees (Advanced Level I license or Advanced Level II license) must post $30,000 surety bonds.
By posting an onsite wastewater board bond in Alabama, principals (installers) pledge to observe all provisions of the laws, rules, regulations, conditions, criteria, and orders governing onsite sewage disposal systems in the state. If the principal fails to comply with these terms, the bond protects harmed parties from financial loss up to the full penal sum of the bond ($15,000 or $30,000). The principal must reimburse the surety for all damages paid out.
What’s the fine print?
Alabama onsite wastewater board surety bonds remain in full force and effect until canceled. The surety’s liability under the bond ends on the date listed on the bond form, unless the bond is continued from year to year by the issuance of a continuation certificate. The surety can cancel the bond at any time by filing written notice of its intent to cancel with the state at least 45 days prior to the effective date of cancellation.
How to become a wastewater systems installer in Alabama
All installers must be licensed prior to conducting onsite wastewater business in Alabama. To be eligible for a license, applicants must have business and work experience within the requested license location, complete the training and examination requirements, and post a surety bond in the proper amount.
Licenses remain valid for a one-year term and expire annually on December 31.
