What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually does
Tallahatchie Valley Electric Power Association is the member-owned electric cooperative headquartered in Batesville, Mississippi, serving over 27,000 residential, commercial, and industrial members across several north Mississippi counties, including Panola, Tallahatchie, Grenada, Yalobusha, and Quitman. Like most utilities, it can require a membership deposit before connecting service, especially for a new account, a reconnection after non-payment, or a commercial location — to protect against unpaid bills.
A utility deposit bond is a surety bond the cooperative accepts in place of that cash deposit. It guarantees that if you fail to pay your electric bill, Tallahatchie Valley Electric can recover the unpaid amount up to the bond's limit — so you satisfy the deposit requirement without tying up cash.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the cooperative on an unpaid balance, you repay the surety. We issue the amount Tallahatchie Valley Electric set; the premium is 2% of that deposit, with a $100 minimum.
