Russellville Utilities, operated through the Russellville Electric Board and the city’s water and gas departments, supplies electric, natural gas, water, and wastewater service to the city of Russellville and surrounding Franklin and Colbert County customers. As with most utilities, a new or previously delinquent account can be asked to post a deposit as security against unpaid charges.
Rather than leave that cash sitting with the utility, a customer can post a surety bond for the same amount in lieu of the deposit. The bond is a payment guarantee: it stands behind the charges on your account, and if the account goes unpaid, Russellville Utilities 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, 2% of the bond amount with a $100 minimum, rather than locking up the full deposit figure. Enter the amount Russellville Utilities set and your exact price appears at the application.
Submit the application with the deposit amount Russellville Utilities set — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay, ready to file in lieu of the cash deposit.
