Kentucky Bowling Green Municipal Utilities Utility Deposit for WATER Service Bond
Overview
Bowling Green Municipal Utilities requires a surety bond from water service customers who cannot satisfy a standard cash deposit requirement. This bond guarantees that if you fail to pay your water bill, BGMU is protected for the unpaid balance — up to the bond amount. Posting this bond gets your water account opened or restored without tying up your cash. It is a practical, affordable alternative that serves the same purpose as a deposit.
Who Needs This Bond?
Customers applying for new water service — or restoring interrupted service — through Bowling Green Municipal Utilities in Bowling Green, Kentucky need this bond. BGMU may require it based on your credit history, prior account issues, or a gap in service. If BGMU has told you a deposit is required to activate your water account, this bond is your alternative. Both residential and commercial water customers may be directed to obtain one.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Bowling Green Municipal Utilities against financial loss caused by a customer who fails to pay their water service bill. It functions as a guarantee — if your account goes unpaid and BGMU cannot collect, they can make a claim on the bond for the amount owed. You remain responsible for your bill, but the bond gives BGMU the security they need to open your account. It replaces the cash deposit BGMU would otherwise hold.
When is it Required?
Opening a new water account or restoring previously disconnected water service is the moment this bond becomes mandatory — specifically when BGMU determines a cash deposit is required. This typically happens when a credit review flags risk, when a prior BGMU account had a delinquency, or when service was previously disconnected for nonpayment. Once BGMU notifies you that a deposit is required, this bond satisfies that requirement so your service can proceed.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies specifically to water service accounts managed by Bowling Green Municipal Utilities in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It is not a statewide utility bond and is not transferable to other utility providers or service addresses outside BGMU's service territory. If you have a water account requirement with BGMU, this is the bond you need.
