What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually does
Before turning on water and sewer service, the City of Hamilton typically asks for a deposit to secure your account against unpaid bills. A utility deposit bond lets you satisfy that requirement without locking up cash — the bond stands behind the account in place of the deposit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hamilton (the obligee). If you leave an unpaid water or sewer balance, the city can recover against the bond up to its amount.
The amount equals the deposit the city would otherwise hold, usually tied to your expected billing. Enter that figure and we issue the bond at a flat 3%; if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety — so keeping your account current keeps the bond a pure convenience.
