What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond does
When you open a commercial utility account, the City of Orangeburg Department of Public Utilities ordinarily collects a cash deposit to secure the bills you'll run up. A utility deposit bond lets you post a surety bond instead — you keep the cash working in your business and the City still has its security.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Orangeburg DPU (the obligee). If you leave an unpaid utility balance, the City can recover against the bond up to its amount instead of drawing down a cash deposit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Account holders who pay their utility bills treat the bond as a way to free up the cash a deposit would tie up. We issue the amount the City set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
