Who Needs This Bond?
Gas customers — residential or commercial — who have been notified by the Cookeville Gas Department that a security deposit is required to open or restore a gas service account need this bond. You may have received this requirement because of a credit review, a gap in service history, or a prior account balance. Rather than handing over a cash deposit that sits tied up for months or years, you post this surety bond instead. It satisfies the Gas Department's requirement immediately.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the Cookeville Gas Department, not the customer who purchases it. If you fail to pay your gas bill or leave an unpaid balance when your account closes, the Gas Department can make a claim against the bond to recover those funds. As the bond's principal, you remain responsible for any valid claim amount — the bond is not insurance that absorbs your losses. Its purpose is to give the Gas Department the same financial assurance it would receive from a cash deposit.
When is it Required?
Notification from the Cookeville Gas Department is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. That notice typically arrives when you apply for new gas service or request restoration of a previously disconnected account and the department determines a deposit is required. At that point, you have the choice to pay the cash deposit directly or satisfy the requirement with this surety bond. Choosing the bond means your cash stays in your pocket while service moves forward.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the City of Cookeville, Tennessee and is required by the Cookeville Gas Department. It is a local city requirement — not a statewide Tennessee mandate — and covers only your account with Cookeville's Gas Department. It does not transfer to other utilities or other jurisdictions.
