What is this bond?

A Washington-St. Tammany Electric Cooperative, Inc. Utility Deposit Bond is a financial guarantee required in place of a cash deposit for utility services. This bond ensures that the cooperative receives on-time payment for all electricity and related services provided to a commercial customer. If the business fails to pay its utility bills, the bond covers the outstanding balance.

Who needs it?

Commercial businesses and contractors establishing new or expanded utility service with Washington-St. Tammany Electric Cooperative in Mississippi typically need this bond.
