utility shutoff
Cutting essential services
A utility shutoff is the disconnection of essential services—electricity, gas, water—typically by the provider.
Shutoffs happen when bills go unpaid or during emergencies: The utility shutoff left them without heat in January.
Many jurisdictions restrict shutoffs during extreme weather to protect vulnerable residents.
