Said bond shall contain the condition that the applicant shall defend, save, keep harmless, and indemnify the Municipality from all liabilities, claims, damages, judgments, costs, and expenses of every nature and description caused by the willful or negligent conduct of the plumber while engaged in the business of plumbing.
