About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the deposit bond actually covers

Norwich Public Utilities (NPU) is the municipal utility owned by the City of Norwich, providing water, gas, and electric service. Like most utilities, NPU can require a deposit on a commercial account to secure the bills the customer will run up before payment.

Instead of leaving cash on deposit with the utility, you post a surety bond. It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Norwich Public Utilities (the obligee). If your account goes unpaid, NPU can recover against the bond up to the deposit amount.

You keep your capital instead of locking it up, and pricing runs from $100. The application collects no credit information, so most applicants qualify instantly. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — so keeping the account current keeps the bond a formality.
