What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually does
The Fitzgerald Water, Light & Bond Commission is the municipal utility serving Fitzgerald, Georgia, and it can require a security deposit before opening or continuing a utility account — particularly for commercial accounts or where usage is large. A utility deposit bond lets you satisfy that requirement without handing the Commission a pile of cash.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Fitzgerald Water, Light & Bond Commission (the obligee). The bond guarantees payment of your utility charges up to its penal sum — if you leave a balance unpaid, the Commission 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 the Commission set and we issue it.
