What it is and who needs it.
What the deposit bond actually does
When a utility opens or holds an account, it often wants a security deposit against unpaid charges. The Las Vegas Valley Water District accepts a surety bond in place of that cash deposit — so instead of tying up the full amount with the District, you pay a premium starting from $125 and keep your capital working.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Las Vegas Valley Water District (the obligee). The bond guarantees payment of your water charges up to the bond amount — if the account goes unpaid, the District can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the District, you repay the surety. Account holders who pay on time treat the bond as a cash-flow tool. We issue the amount LVVWD set, priced at 2% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum, with no credit check up to $15,000 required, and mail the original for filing with the District.

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.
How to file it
File with the Water District. The original bond is mailed for you to sign as principal and file with the Las Vegas Valley Water District in place of the cash deposit. Wet-ink originals are standard for the District.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $15,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
