What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually covers
When you open or hold a Huntsville Utilities account, the city utility can require a deposit as security against unpaid bills — often tied to your estimated usage and largest for commercial accounts. Rather than leave that cash sitting with the utility, you can post a surety bond for the same amount.
The bond is a payment guarantee in lieu of the cash deposit: it stands behind the utility charges on your account. If the account goes unpaid and the deposit would have covered it, Huntsville Utilities can recover against the bond instead of drawing down a cash deposit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the utility, you repay the surety. The advantage is cash flow: you pay the 3% premium rather than locking up the full deposit amount. Enter the figure Huntsville Utilities set and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
