What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Colorado Springs Utilities is the municipally owned, four-service utility (electric, natural gas, water, wastewater) for Colorado Springs. When it opens an account — especially a commercial account or one without established billing history — it can require a deposit. A surety bond is a payment guarantee CSU accepts in place of that cash, so your money stays in your business.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Colorado Springs Utilities (the obligee). If the account goes unpaid, CSU can recover against the bond up to its amount, the same way it would draw on a cash deposit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Pay your utility bills and the bond is simply a substitute for tied-up cash. We issue the amount CSU set, pricing from $100.
