Deposit Requirements:

When you apply for natural gas service with Fountaintown Gas Co., Inc., you will be required to make a deposit unless you can establish a satisfactory payment history with a regulated utility (natural gas or electric) company with the following method:

• If you have been a customer of any regulated utility within the last two years, and
• You owe no outstanding bills for service
• Did not have during the last 12 consecutive months service was provided, any bills that were delinquent
• Did not have service disconnected for nonpayment of a bill

If the applicant cannot establish a satisfactory payment history with a regulated utility, a deposit will be necessary. The deposit is figured with the following method:

• The deposit will be calculated based on the twelve-month usage for the property.
• The deposit minimum is $200.00.
• If the deposit is $200.00, we will connect the utility service when deposit is received. For a deposit over $200.00, service will be connected once a minimum of half the deposit has been made and a payment agreement for the remaining deposit established.
  • Any deposit on an account will be applied to the account as a credit after twelve consecutive on-time payments; or
  • The deposit will be applied to your final bill when you request to have the natural gas service shut off.
