What it is and who needs it.
What the deposit bond actually covers
Jonesboro City Water & Light (CWL) is the municipal utility for Jonesboro, providing electric, water, and wastewater service. Like most utilities, it asks new or higher-risk accounts for a deposit to secure payment — and it will accept a surety bond in place of tying up that cash.
The bond is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Jonesboro City Water & Light (the obligee). If the account goes unpaid and CWL applies the deposit, it can recover the unpaid balance against the bond instead of holding your cash up front.
The bond amount equals the deposit CWL set for your account — typically based on your expected usage. Confirm the figure on your CWL deposit notice and enter it here — the premium is 2% of that amount, $100 minimum, set by the deposit figure, not a credit or underwriting tier.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
