About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the utility deposit bond actually does

The Sparta Electric and Water System is the municipal utility serving the City of Sparta and the surrounding White County area with electric and water service. Like most utilities, it can require a deposit to open a new account or where billing history warrants — and it accepts a surety bond instead of cash.

The bond is a guarantee to the utility that your charges will be paid. If the account goes unpaid and is closed with a balance owed, the Sparta Electric and Water System can recover against the bond up to the deposit amount — rather than against a cash deposit it would otherwise hold.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the utility, you repay the surety. The advantage is cash flow: you pay 3% of the deposit amount instead of locking up the full deposit. Enter the figure Sparta set and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

Sparta Electric and Water System — deposit requirementThe Sparta Electric and Water System sets its own customer deposit requirement by utility service policy; this surety bond is accepted in place of that cash deposit. The deposit amount is set by the utility for your specific account — we issue the bond for whatever figure Sparta named. We have not cited a statute because municipal utility deposits are governed by the utility's service policy rather than state code; send us your notice and we'll confirm the amount.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Sparta utility deposit bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is the deposit the Sparta Electric and Water System set for your account. Enter that figure and the quote updates.
Do I pay the full deposit? +
No. You pay 3% of the deposit amount (minimum $275) for the bond, instead of leaving the full deposit in cash with the utility. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability if your account goes unpaid.
Will Sparta accept a bond instead of cash? +
A surety bond is a common, accepted alternative to a cash utility deposit. Confirm with the Sparta Electric and Water System that they'll take a bond for your account and what amount they require, then we issue it for that figure.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the utility deposit bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What amount should I enter? +
