utility services
Essential municipal provisions
Utility services are the essential systems that supply water, electricity, gas, sewage treatment, and sometimes telecommunications to homes and businesses.
These services are typically provided by regulated companies or municipal authorities and billed on a monthly basis according to usage.
The apartment listing said utility services were included in the rent.
The term often appears in real estate contexts and lease agreements where responsibility for paying such services needs clarification.
