What it is and who needs it.
What the Marietta BLW bond does
The Marietta Board of Lights and Water is the city-owned utility that supplies electric, water, and sewer service across Marietta. Like most municipal utilities, the BLW asks commercial accounts for a security deposit — and it will accept a utility deposit surety bond in place of that cash.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Marietta Board of Lights and Water (the obligee). The bond guarantees payment of your utility bills; if the account goes unpaid, the BLW can recover against the bond up to its penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the BLW, you repay the surety. The advantage is cash flow: you pay a 3% premium rather than locking up the full deposit. We issue the amount the BLW set, with no credit check.
