About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the utility deposit bond actually does

The Water, Gas and Light Commission of the City of Albany provides water, gas, and electric service in Albany, Georgia. To open certain commercial or higher-risk accounts, it can require a security deposit against unpaid bills. A surety bond is an accepted alternative to handing the Commission cash.

The bond is written to the Water, Gas and Light Commission (the obligee) for the deposit amount it set. If the account goes unpaid and the Commission suffers a loss up to the bond amount, it can recover against the bond instead of drawing down a cash deposit.

It frees up your working capital — you pay a premium starting from $100 rather than parking the full deposit with the Commission. If the surety ever pays the Commission, you repay the surety. Accounts kept current treat the bond as a one-time formality.
