Investopedia explains 'Utility Revenue Bond'

A bond is an interest-bearing or discounted debt security that is issued by a government or corporation in order to raise funds for capital projects. Generally, utility revenue bonds have one year's worth of debt service in what is called a reserve fund, to protect bondholders in the event that the project is not completed on time (and is not earning revenue) or where revenues are otherwise less than anticipated.
