About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the utility deposit bond actually covers

The Cullman Power Board, the electric division of the Utilities Board of the City of Cullman, distributes power purchased from the Tennessee Valley Authority to businesses and residents within the city. When you open or hold an account, the board can require a security deposit — sized to your estimated or historical usage — and, as with most municipal electric boards, will accept a surety bond in place of that cash deposit.

The bond is a payment guarantee in lieu of the cash deposit: it stands behind the electric charges on your account. If the account goes unpaid and the deposit would have covered it, the Cullman Power Board can recover against the bond instead of drawing down a cash deposit.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the utility, you repay the surety. The advantage is cash flow: you pay a small premium — from $100 — rather than locking up the full deposit amount. Enter the figure the Cullman Power Board set on your account and your exact price appears at the application.
