Why SWIP?
Why SWIP?
The big difference between SWIP (Sewer & Water Insurance Plans) and other programs is that SWIP is not a warranty or opt-in program. It’s a turnkey, customized solution and partnership approach that meets the needs of the homeowner and the municipality.
If you are a homeowner looking for this type of insurance, contact your municipality to ask them to learn more about our program.
Please not that we do not provide coverage for individuals, homeowners, etc.
In March 2020, SWIP was featured on Municipal Sewer & Water Magazine!
Here are some reasons why municipalities choose to partner with us:
NO WAITING PERIODS
Rest assured that your sewer and water lines will be repaired ASAP.
NO DEDUCTIBLES
Neither you nor your residents will be assessed a deductible.
WE COVER ALL REPAIRS
Cover all repairs up to $15,000 (actual coverage amount is negotiated in contract). Many programs only offer partial coverage for water and sewer lines.
WE MEET EPA STANDARDS
Repairs meet EPA standards and requirements and help you avoid costly fines.
NO EXCLUSIONS
Many programs exclude preexisting conditions. We don’t.
The Sandy Suburban Improvement District (SSID) in Sandy, UT implemented the Sewer Water Insurance Program (SWIP) in October 2014. SSID maintains approximately:
Since implementing the program:
“Our residents are extremely happy,” says SSID general manager Jerry Knight. “We went with SWIP because of its ability and willingness to customize our program and provide a total solution,” says Knight. The groundbreaking insurance program has allowed SSID to ensure the holistic health of their entire sewer system including assessment, rehabilitation, and repair of all the nearly 10,000 private lateral lines.
SWIP’s groundbreaking insurance plan allows you to ensure the holistic health of your entire sewer system including assessment, rehabilitation, and repair of your municipality’s lateral lines. Thus, we have seen steady growth each year.
