The deposit you paid, including any unpaid interest earned, will be applied to your final bill. If applying the deposit results in a credit balance on your account, a refund check for the balance will be sent to you at the mailing address you provided when service is turned off.  Interest on your deposit is earned at the average certificate of deposit (CD) rate paid by local financial institutions. SRP will credit the interest to your account in January when the deposit has been held for at least six consecutive months. The interest rate is reviewed annually and adjusted as needed. View the SRP residential credit policy.
