Who Needs This Bond?
New residential customers, commercial tenants setting up service at a leased space, and property owners restoring lapsed natural gas accounts are the most common applicants for this bond. If the Oak Ridge Utility District has told you a security deposit is required to open or reinstate your natural gas account, this bond is your alternative. Anyone who qualifies to post a surety bond in place of a cash deposit can use this product to satisfy that requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the Oak Ridge Utility District by guaranteeing that your natural gas account will be paid and maintained according to the district's terms. If you default on your account — through unpaid bills or other violations — the district can make a claim against the bond to recover what it is owed. You, as the principal, remain responsible for any amounts paid out under the bond. The bond is not insurance for you; it is a financial guarantee for the utility.
When is it Required?
Right at the point of account setup or service restoration is when the Oak Ridge Utility District will ask you to satisfy this deposit requirement. Before your gas is turned on, the district will require either a cash deposit or an approved surety bond to secure the account. This bond lets you move through that step without locking up your cash. Have it ready before you complete your account application to avoid delays in getting service activated.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specifically written to satisfy the deposit requirements of the Oak Ridge Utility District for natural gas service. It applies to accounts opened or restored within the district's service territory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It is not a statewide bond and cannot be substituted for deposit requirements with any other utility provider.
