Will I need to make a utility deposit?
Residential
Depending on your credit history a deposit may be required. The standard residential deposit is $200.00 which includes all utility services. For residential water only customers the deposit is $50.00. Once a utility application has been submitted we check the applicant’s credit history. If the applicant’s credit history meets our requirements the deposit is waived. If the applicant’s credit history warrants the need for a deposit, the deposit must be paid in full before utility services are connected.
Commercial
Commercial deposits are based on a two month average bill for the location. Upon review, a letter of credit from a previous electric utility showing 12 months with no more than 2 late payments may waive the deposit requirements. The letter of credit must be in the exact name, social security number or federal ID of the commercial applicant. A Surety Bond for the amount of the deposit may be substituted for a cash deposit.
