guarantee for residential service that is accepted in accordance with these
rules shall be in writing and shall be in effect for not more than 36 months.

guarantee, if longer than 12 months, the customer's credit shall be established
and the utility shall release the guarantor upon satisfactory payment by the
customer of all proper charges for residential service for a period of 12
consecutive months, unless the guarantee was required due to unauthorized use
of utility service.
(3) A utility
may require a guarantee for residential service because of unauthorized use of
utility service for 36 months.
(4)
For purposes of this rule, payment is satisfactory if it is made before the
issuance of a notice of shutoff of service for nonpayment that is not in
dispute or within 5 days after the issuance of the next succeeding monthly
bill, whichever is sooner.
(5) A
utility may withhold the release of a guarantor pending the resolution of a
shutoff for nonpayment that is in dispute in accordance with these
rules.
