(A) In accordance with such applicable rules and standards of the Public Service Commission as may be in force and effect from time to time, the company may require from all applicants for service a cash deposit equal to the amount payable for service for any regular billing period plus 30 days as estimated by the company as a guarantee against the non-payment of bills for service; provided, however, that where the customer is the owner of property or furnishes a written guarantee from a property owner, the company may waive such cash deposit. Such guarantee shall not make the guarantor liable in an amount exceeding the charge for a period of 60 days or 90 days, whichever is applicable. Such cash deposit minus any unpaid amounts for service rendered the customer shall be returned upon the discontinuance of service.
(B) In all cases where the consumption in a billing period is in excess of that covered by the deposit required, but such deposit shall not exceed an amount for any estimated billing period plus 30 days.
