Municipalities and Water Entities

We know the power of community. That's why we strive to protect it by providing insurance coverages that meet the unique needs of cities, towns, municipalities and water entities through Glatfelter Public Entities

Our municipal product is available for cities, towns, townships, boroughs and villages with a population up to 30,000 (covering 97% of all municipalities in the U.S.). We can also cover other public entities like redevelopment agencies, improvement authorities, special service districts (non-electrical), parking authorities, park or recreation commissions or library boards.

We're one of the largest insurance programs in the U.S. for entities that treat, store or distribute water including conservation and irrigation districts, private water companies and water/sewer districts. Licensed to sell in California? For CA water clients, our MemberGuard program is a competitive alternative to package insurance and provides advantages including no risk-sharing assessments, enhanced limits, services (like grant writing) and Workers' Compensation.

Glatfelter Specialty Benefits

Not every organization fits neatly under a pre-packaged insurance program. Often, specialized coverages are needed to help fill in the gaps and better protect these organizations. As advocates for the industries we serve, we work with independent agents and their clients to develop coverages that meet very specific and niche needs across all of our programs.
