What it is and who needs it.
What the Easton Utilities deposit bond actually does
Easton Utilities is the town-owned electric, water, and gas utility serving Easton, Maryland, operating under the town's own utility policies rather than the general Maryland Public Service Commission jurisdiction that applies to investor-owned utilities. By Easton Utilities' own account policy, a new or higher-risk customer's credit history can trigger a security-deposit requirement before service is connected.
Rather than compel a customer to leave cash on file, Easton Utilities will accept a surety bond in the same amount instead. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Easton Utilities (the obligee). If the account goes unpaid, Easton Utilities can claim against the bond up to the stated amount; if the surety pays, you repay the surety — the bond is not insurance for you.
The deposit figure itself is set by Easton Utilities for your specific account — there is no single statutory number we can cite, so confirm the exact amount with Easton Utilities customer service before you apply. Enter that figure here; we price the bond at 2% of the amount, $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information.
