Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division, TN - Utility Deposit — required surety bond in Tennessee. Apply online in minutes.
The Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) Utility Deposit bond is a financial guarantee used in place of a traditional upfront cash deposit for utility services. It ensures that the customer will pay all utility bills and associated charges on time. If the customer defaults on their utility payments, the surety bond compensates MLGW for the unpaid balances.
Commercial businesses and, in some cases, residential customers establishing new utility services or maintaining existing accounts with MLGW may need this bond. It is frequently utilized by high-volume commercial customers who prefer to preserve their working capital rather than tying it up in a cash deposit.
MLGW requires this bond to protect themselves against financial losses resulting from unpaid utility bills. By requiring a surety bond, the utility company guarantees they will be compensated for the services they provide, even if a customer fails to pay. Because specific deposit requirements vary based on usage, customers should verify their exact bonding criteria directly with MLGW.
