Margaret: (My hand over my heart and a deep blush in my cheeks), Thank you!
Steven Huddleston Aug 25, 2008:
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).
Terry Burgess Aug 25, 2008:
My final comnt on this Q. Telva, plse THINK!! The confusion is 1000% urs!U post a Q in SP-EN wth contxt in EN.[pretending] ignorance. I now see a total reversl in ur comnd. of EN. STOP plyng games and be open & honest!We're here to help..trust us!!
Telva Sosa Stanziola (asker) Aug 25, 2008:
Apologies to all 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.
margaret caulfield Aug 24, 2008:
With every respect to Steven, who is an excellent translator in my opinion, this should have been "water and gas are cut off"
margaret caulfield Aug 24, 2008:
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.
Terry Burgess Aug 24, 2008:
Yes E. Let's not thro a dckyfit here! The quest.was badly posted..given the text provided, IMO I felt [sorry to all!]what Talva needed was afirmación of her interp but didnt no how so I changed the pair.& perhaps Javier went+..but well meant, I'm sure:-))
swisstell Aug 24, 2008:
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.
Steven Huddleston Aug 24, 2008:
There seems to be some confusion as to what direction this translation should go. Is it Eng-Spa or Spa-Eng?

utility cutoff

"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"
