About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the utility deposit bond actually covers

The City of Calhoun operates municipal water, natural gas, and electric service, and like most municipal utilities it asks new and commercial customers for a security deposit before connecting service. The deposit covers unpaid bills if an account closes with a balance owed.

A utility deposit surety bond is an accepted substitute for that cash deposit. Instead of leaving hundreds or thousands of dollars sitting with the city, you post a bond — the city (the obligee) can recover against it for unpaid charges, and you pay only the premium.

If the city draws on the bond for unpaid utility charges, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for you. Customers who pay their bills never see a claim, and get their working capital back instead of parking it as a deposit.

City of Calhoun utility billingThe City of Calhoun provides municipal water, gas, and electric utilities and sets utility deposit requirements through its utility billing department.
