What it is and who needs it.
What the deposit bond actually does
Walton County, Georgia provides water service to customers in the unincorporated county and parts of its municipalities. Like most utilities, it can require a security deposit before it connects service for a commercial account or a customer without established payment history.
A utility deposit bond is a substitute for that cash deposit. Rather than leaving cash with the county’s water department until you close the account, you post a surety bond for the same figure. If you leave unpaid water charges behind, Walton County can recover against the bond up to its amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the county makes a valid claim for unpaid bills and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Customers who pay on time treat the bond as a way to keep their cash 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.
