East Point water deposit bonds.
From $100.

The City sets the deposit amount; the premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with your exact price appearing at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond covers
The City of East Point provides water service and, like most municipal utilities, can require a security deposit from a new or commercial account before turning on service. The deposit guarantees the City gets paid if the account goes unpaid. A utility deposit bond satisfies that requirement with a surety bond so you don't tie up cash.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of East Point (the obligee). If your water account goes unpaid, the City can recover the unpaid balance against the bond, up to the bond amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. The benefit is cash flow: keep your deposit money working instead of parked with the utility.

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.
