What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually does
The Birmingham Water Works Board is the public water utility serving Birmingham and much of the surrounding metro. Like most utilities, it can require a deposit from commercial or higher-risk accounts to secure payment of water and sewer charges before service is established.
A surety bond is an accepted alternative to handing the Board cash you won't see again for years. The bond guarantees the Board that your account charges will be paid — if the account goes unpaid, the Board can recover the outstanding amount against the bond, up to the bond's penal sum.
It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays the Board, you repay the surety. For a business that would otherwise tie up thousands in a cash deposit, the bond keeps that capital working — you pay a flat 3% premium instead.
