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 we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — so keeping the account current keeps the bond a formality.

How much is the Norwich Public Utilities deposit bond? +

Why would I use a bond instead of a cash deposit? +
A surety bond satisfies the same NPU requirement without locking up cash. You pay the 3% premium rather than leaving the full deposit on account, so your working capital stays free.
Is there a credit check? +
No — this bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects Norwich Public Utilities against an unpaid account, up to the deposit amount. If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.
What amount should I enter? +
Use the deposit figure Norwich Public Utilities gave you for your account. If you’re unsure, ask NPU for the required deposit amount and we’ll issue the bond.
