What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually does
Dalton Utilities, the municipal utility operated by the City of Dalton, can require a security deposit before it opens or continues a utility account — particularly for commercial accounts or where usage is large. A utility deposit bond lets you satisfy that requirement without handing the utility a pile of cash.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Dalton Utilities (the obligee). The bond guarantees payment of your utility charges up to its penal sum — if you leave a balance unpaid, Dalton Utilities can recover against the bond instead of drawing down a cash deposit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays unpaid charges, you repay the surety. The advantage is cash flow: you pay a 3% premium rather than parking the full deposit amount with the utility. Enter the figure Dalton Utilities set and we issue it.
