About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A utility deposit bond is a payment guarantee. Instead of leaving a cash deposit with the City of Cookeville's Gas Department, you post a surety bond that backs your gas bills — if you don't pay, the Department can recover against the bond.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Cookeville (the obligee), acting through its Gas Department. The bond does the same job as a cash deposit at a small annual premium.

The bond stays in force while your account is open. We track the dates and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your gas service is never interrupted over a lapsed bond.
