Colorado Well Construction and Pump Installation Bonds

Water well and pump installers in Colorado must post a $10,000 surety bond. The obligee requiring the bond is the Water Resources Division of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. The bond ensures that the installer operates in accordance with rules, regulations, and statutes prescribed by the Department. Requirements specify well construction, maintenance, and environmental standards. A violation of these requirements by the bonded principal may lead to third party financial damages and a bond claim.
