Who Needs This Bond?
Homeowners establishing new water service in Fort Worth, small business owners opening a commercial account, and renters restoring service after a lapse — all of these customers may be asked to post a deposit bond. If Fort Worth Water Department has flagged your account for a deposit requirement based on your credit or payment history, this bond is your alternative. You do not have to pay a large upfront cash deposit to get your water turned on.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Fort Worth Water Department against nonpayment of your water utility bills. If you default on your account and the city suffers a financial loss, the bond gives them a guaranteed recovery mechanism. As the account holder, you are the principal on the bond — you are responsible for paying your bills, and the bond is the backup the utility requires before extending service. It is a financial guarantee, not insurance for you.
When is it Required?
After Fort Worth Water Department reviews your account application or service restoration request, they will notify you that a deposit is required before service can begin. That is the moment to purchase this bond. You bring or submit proof of the bond to the department, and it satisfies the deposit requirement so service can proceed. Acting quickly gets your water turned on faster — there is no reason to delay once you have been told a deposit is needed.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to Fort Worth Water Department and applies only to utility accounts within that department's service territory. It is a local city requirement, not a statewide Texas mandate. If you have service at a property outside the Fort Worth Water Department's jurisdiction, you would need a bond tied to that utility's specific requirements.
