Water/Sewer – Residential

Residential Deposits

We have new rules that will be effective April 1st for Residential and General Power Customer Deposits. We are changing our operation and we will no longer offer credit checks for reduced deposits.

Effective April 1, 2025
For residential power customers, a deposit of $300 for electric and an additional $100.00 for water and sewer will be required unless the customer chooses to go on Pre-Pay+ and the customer will pay $10.00 per service needed (Electric, Water, or Wastewater). Milan Public Utilities Authority does not do credit checks to determine credit rating for reduced deposits. In no event will a general power customer deposit be required that would exceed twice the highest estimated monthly bill for the general power customer at the requested location. A suitable guarantee, irrevocable letter of credit or other security deemed acceptable by Authority may be accepted in lieu of a deposit. Customers with residential hardships, as determined by Authority, may negotiate installment payments, but one half of deposit must be paid prior to establishment of residential electric service and remainder within thirty (30) days from the date electric service commences. Upon a written request by the customer or at the discretion of Authority, the deposit requirement may be re-evaluated based on the most recent electricity usage.
