Wisconsin Utility Future Service Plan Bond
Overview
Wisconsin utility providers have the authority to require a surety bond instead of a cash deposit when opening or reinstating a service account. This bond — the Wisconsin Utility Future Service Plan Bond — satisfies that requirement statewide, keeping your money in your pocket while giving the utility the security it needs. It is accepted in place of a traditional deposit and lets you get service started without tying up cash.
Who Needs This Bond?
Your Wisconsin utility company has told you a deposit is required before service can begin or be restored — this bond is your alternative. Rather than paying that cash deposit upfront, you purchase this surety bond and present it to the utility to satisfy the requirement. Residential and commercial customers across Wisconsin use this bond when a credit review triggers a deposit demand. If you've been asked to post security to open or reinstate a utility account anywhere in the state, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the utility company if you fail to pay your bills. It serves as a financial guarantee — backed by a licensed surety — that the utility can recover losses from unpaid service charges up to the bond amount. The utility gets the same protection it would have had with a cash deposit, and you avoid locking up funds indefinitely. It is a direct substitute for the security deposit your Wisconsin utility provider would otherwise hold.
When is it Required?
Before your service can be activated or restored, the bond must already be in hand and submitted to your utility provider. Wisconsin utilities will not open or reinstate an account on the promise of a bond — they require the executed document first. If you are restarting service after a disconnection or opening a new account with a deposit requirement, do not wait. Purchase and deliver this bond before your target service start date.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across Wisconsin and satisfies deposit requirements imposed by Wisconsin utility providers operating under state oversight. It is not limited to a single city or county — it covers the full state. Any Wisconsin utility company that accepts a surety bond in lieu of a cash deposit can be named on this bond.
