I had to go away and do some things so I missed all the action, which I deeply regret. This was a good run, thank you all.

Telva: As Margaret suggested, in this usage it shout be "cut off" (two words).

I did not need reassurance, but SP > EN; At this point, I don't know anymore if I originated the confusion or if somebody, with the best intentions, reversed the languages.

To Margaret and SwissTell: you are right. I reviewed the suggestions again and changed the input to the glossary with SwissTell's answer, though I cannot change the Kudoz awarded.

With every respect to Steven, who is an excellent translator in my opinion, this should have been "water and gas are cut off"

Please clarify, Telva, which language you wish this to be translated into. Not only would it make things easier for all of us, but it would help you to get a worthwhile translation.

agree with Steven. Javier Wasserzug is a bit fast on the "Zug" i.e. trigger here. The majority of answerers understood, like I do, that a SPANISH TERM OR PHRASE IS REQUESTED. See above.

There seems to be some confusion as to what direction this translation should go. Is it Eng-Spa or Spa-Eng?

utility cutoff

Explanation:
"utilities" of course stands for water, gas and electricity. If you prefer to be specific about your two mentioned types, you can also say "water and gas cutoff"
