About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the deposit bond actually covers

When the City of Fort Worth Water Department requires a deposit to begin or continue water service — common for commercial accounts or accounts without a payment history — a customer can post a surety bond in lieu of cash. The bond guarantees the water bill up to the deposit amount.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fort Worth Water Department (the obligee). If you leave an unpaid balance on your water account, the department can recover against the bond up to the bonded amount.

It frees up your cash — instead of leaving the full deposit on the table, you pay a small premium (from $100) and keep the rest working in your business. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
