About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the utility deposit bond actually covers

When you open service, the City of North Little Rock Electric Department can require a security deposit — commercial or industrial accounts are typically deposited at an amount not to exceed two estimated maximum monthly bills. When the required deposit exceeds $300, the department will accept an automatically renewable surety bond (or an irrevocable letter of credit from a local bank) instead of cash.

The amount is the deposit North Little Rock Electric sets for your account, based on your estimated maximum monthly usage at the serviced property. The bond stands behind your electric charges — if the account goes unpaid and is closed, the department can recover its loss against the bond, up to the bond amount.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the utility on an unpaid account, you repay the surety. For a business that would rather not tie up cash with the city, a one-time premium starting at $100 is the cheaper way to satisfy the requirement. (North Little Rock's water service is separately provided through Central Arkansas Water, which has its own deposit and bond policy.)

City of North Little Rock Electric Department — deposit policyThe City of North Little Rock Electric Department conditions new and certain existing commercial or industrial accounts on a security deposit — generally not to exceed two estimated maximum monthly bills — and accepts an automatically renewable surety bond in place of cash whenever the required deposit exceeds $300. Confirm your required amount with the Electric Department at (501) 975-8888. (No statute is cited here because the requirement is a municipal utility tariff/account policy, not a published code section.)
