Questions about this bond
Does the electric tariff allow a surety bond?
Its non-residential credit provisions include a security deposit, surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit as possible conditions of service. Confirm which the utility will accept for your account.
Does that establish the gas company's rules too?
No. The cited source is the Missouri electric tariff. A gas account or combined request needs its own confirmed company and form instructions.
Should the bond name Liberty or Empire District?
Use the legal obligee wording supplied by the utility. The electric tariff identifies The Empire District Electric Company d.b.a. Liberty, but the actual request controls the document to submit.
Will a bond settle the utility bill?
No. Security supports the account's payment obligation; it does not pay the customer's ongoing charges or automatically satisfy a delinquent balance.
