The Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) can require a deposit before turning on commercial utility service — and it accepts a surety bond in lieu of a cash deposit. Instead of tying up cash with PWC, post a bond. The commission sets the amount; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard deposit bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with PWC. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the deposit amount PWC required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond to PWC in place of your cash deposit, and your utility account can be set up. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever PWC insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the deposit PWC required and the premium updates — far less than tying up the full amount in cash.
The City of Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) is the municipal utility serving Fayetteville with electric, water, and sewer. Like most utilities, PWC can require a deposit on a commercial account as security against unpaid bills — and it accepts a surety bond in lieu of that cash deposit.
The bond runs to the Public Works Commission of the City of Fayetteville as obligee. It guarantees payment of your utility charges up to the bond amount — so instead of leaving a large cash deposit with PWC, you post a bond and keep your working capital.
It is a guarantee, not insurance for you: if you leave unpaid utility bills, PWC can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond amount is the deposit figure PWC sets, generally tied to your estimated usage.
Submit the application with the deposit amount PWC required — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file in place of cash.
