(A) Any active residential account that files bankruptcy shall:
(1) Have its existing cash deposit applied to any unpaid charges established prior to the bankruptcy filing date; and
(2) Be required to submit an additional cash deposit sufficient in amount so that the total deposit is equal to the regular deposit requirement in order to continue service beyond the bankruptcy filing date.
(B) Any active non-residential account that files bankruptcy shall:
(1) Have its cash deposit, its certificate of deposit (CD) and/or its surety bond applied to any unpaid charges established prior to the bankruptcy filing date; and
(2) Be required to submit an additional cash deposit, assigned certificate of deposit (CD) and/or surety bond sufficient in amount so that the total deposit is equal to 15% of the charges for the previous 12 months, including taxes and penalties, for each service (rounded to the nearest $100), but in no event less than the residential deposit for the applicable service(s), in order to continue service beyond the bankruptcy filing date.
(C) If, after the bankruptcy filing date, an account becomes past due, service may be terminated and the deposit used to pay all existing charges. Upon reestablishing the required deposit balance, the payment of reconnect charges, and the payment of any charges not covered by the cash deposit, certificate of deposit (CD) and/or security bond, services will be restored.
