Security Deposits
Deposits must be paid before electric service may be connected. Deposits are refunded, including interest, when electric service is discontinued. Deposit amounts for residential accounts are $300.
Customers may have the option of a credit check through ONLINE Utility Exchange, or pay the maximum designated deposit. Those customers with a satisfactory credit score will not be charged a deposit or may be charged the minimum deposit requirements.
JCPB reserves the right to evaluate customers' payment histories, monthly and annually, to assess credit risks for active accounts. JCPB may also require an additional deposit if an account is found to be "at risk." Additional deposits may range from $100.00 to $500.00. All deposits will continue to accrue annual interest. Upon termination of service, any existing deposit and interest will be applied against any unpaid balance of the customer. If any balance remains, that amount will be refunded to the customer upon request.
JCPB is in compliance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and The Fair Credit Reporting Act. This policy is designed to better protect ALL JCPB residential customers from the negative effects of unpaid balances left by others. If you have any questions regarding the JCPB deposit policy, please contact Applications at 952-5010.
Deposit payment options: Check, cash, money order, VISA, Mastercard, Discover, or On-line credit check (pending authorization).
