What it is and who needs it.
What the deposit bond actually does
Navopache Electric Cooperative is a nonprofit, member-owned electric distribution cooperative headquartered in Lakeside, Arizona, serving tens of thousands of members across the White Mountains of eastern Arizona and into western New Mexico. As a member-owned cooperative rather than an investor-owned utility, Navopache sets its own deposit and service policies through its Board-approved rate schedule and service rules rather than standard Arizona Corporation Commission rate regulation.
Navopache can require a deposit before establishing or continuing electric service, particularly for a new member or an account without an established payment history. Rather than leave that cash sitting with the cooperative, Navopache accepts a surety bond as an alternative to the cash deposit. You post a bond for the deposit amount and pay a premium instead; the bond guarantees payment of your Navopache charges up to the bonded amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays Navopache, you repay the surety. The advantage is cash flow: you keep the deposit amount working in your business. Enter the deposit amount Navopache set on your account and get your price, from a $100 minimum, at the application.
