Oregon Water Well Constructor Bond

 

The use of wells in the State of Oregon centers on domestic, agricultural, municipal, industrial, and environmental uses. The wells that are connected to the state’s groundwater resources are regularly maintained to ensure that no contamination occurs and to minimize alterations that may cause environmental risks or hazards. This is done in order to secure the integrity of the state’s groundwater for current and future public and private uses.

 

The Oregon Water Well Constructor Bond ensures that an individual or a business will be granted with a Water Well Constructor’s License by the Water Resources Commission. This is done to ensure that the constructions of the wells are in accordance with the state’s laws.

 

 

What is the Oregon Water Well Constructor Bond?

The Oregon Water Well Constructor Bond will ensure that a business will pay for the needed expenses in the case of a breach with a licensing law, as agreed upon on the bond form, through a surety bond carrier. Aside from paying for the needed compensation, the surety bond company will also be responsible for reviewing claims from the public to check for the validity of the compensation claims.

 

The Principal, or the business, however, is still responsible for the financial loss that the Surety Bond Company will face in the case of the former being sued. The business will be required to compensate the surety carrier for any type of payments covered as long as it is within the grounds of the bond. If the Principal fails to do so, their license may be suspended.

 

You may visit ORS 537.505 or the Ground Water Act of 1955 for information on the bond and the regulations governing it.
