Cortarle a Uno el Agua/la Luz por no Pagar.

Cut off electricity/water; shut off electricity/water.

Last month I had my electricity cut off because I had not paid.

"The state Public Utilities Commission on Thursday issued new rules governing how and when the state's large, investor-owned utilities can cut off customers who haven't paid."

"Twice of late (never happened before), I've been threatened with having my electricity cut off. They did the deed last month. I received the posted pre-warning four days after they cut me off."
Tonight.

"For example, the water was shut off at 54 Jefferson Ave. in April 2008, four months after the city declared it vacant and the last water bill was paid. Yet the house has since received estimated water bills and related penalties totaling $8,173."
Democrat and Chronicle.

"Starting no later than October, low-income customers who have had their electricity and natural gas shut off will no longer have to pay a deposit to re-establish service. Customers who don't qualify as low-income may still have to pay a reconnection deposit, but the deposit can be no more than twice their average monthly bill."
San Francisco Chronicle.

Corte de luz y de agua (por no haber pagado): Shutoff

"Shutoffs, Shames said, are more likely in areas where people with deep ties to the community lose their jobs, rather than in places where poor economic conditions lead people to lose their homes — because they don't need electricity and gas if they don't live there."
San Diego Union Tribune.
