What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually covers
The Cobb County Water System provides water and sewer service across Cobb County, and asks commercial and certain new 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. Rather than leaving the full amount with the county, you post a bond — the Water System (the obligee) can recover against it for unpaid charges, and you pay only the premium.
If the Water System draws on the bond for unpaid charges, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for you. Accounts that stay current never trigger a claim, and keep their working capital free instead of parked as a deposit.

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.
