Colorado Springs Utilities, CO Utility Deposit Bond
Overview
Colorado Springs Utilities requires certain customers to post a surety bond before activating or restoring service — and this bond is exactly what satisfies that requirement. Instead of tying up hundreds of dollars in a refundable cash deposit, you purchase a bond that provides Colorado Springs Utilities with the same financial protection at a fraction of the upfront cost. This bond is issued to you as the utility customer, with Colorado Springs Utilities as the protected party. It lets you get your service started without locking your money away.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told by Colorado Springs Utilities that a security deposit is required before your account can be opened or restored — that's exactly who this bond is for. Residential and commercial customers in Colorado Springs who don't meet the utility's credit threshold are typically presented with two options: pay a cash deposit or post a surety bond. Choosing the bond means you keep your cash and still satisfy the requirement. If Colorado Springs Utilities sent you a deposit notice, this is your alternative.
What is this Bond For?
This bond serves as a financial guarantee to Colorado Springs Utilities that your account obligations will be met. If you default on your utility bills, Colorado Springs Utilities can file a claim against the bond to recover the amount owed — up to the bond's face value. You remain responsible for any valid claim paid out; the bond is not a get-out-of-debt product. Its purpose is to give Colorado Springs Utilities confidence that they won't absorb losses from an unpaid account.
When is it Required?
Before Colorado Springs Utilities will activate your account or restore interrupted service, the bond must already be in place. A pending application or a promise to post the bond later won't satisfy the requirement — you need the executed bond document in hand. Once Colorado Springs Utilities receives confirmation of the bond, your account can move forward. Don't delay purchasing if your service start date or restoration is time-sensitive.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively to utility service accounts held with Colorado Springs Utilities in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It is a local requirement set by Colorado Springs Utilities — not a statewide mandate. If you have service in a different Colorado jurisdiction, you'll need the bond specific to that utility provider.
