No, generally a utility deposit is not a payable. On the rare chance that the company allows you to "make payments" on the deposit, until it is paid, the it would be a payable, however, that generally is not the case. A utility deposit is generally required as a "security" deposit to the company providing the service and as a rule must be paid in advance before said service can be activated. Most companies after a prescribed amount of time will and certain requirements are met (no late payments, no disconnection, etc) will refund the deposit to the person/company. If this is the case, then a utility deposit that may be refunded after a certain period of time is actually considered an asset.
