A combination utility controller and service panel having an outer overall enclosure with a lockable door for limiting access thereto to authorized persons. Within the overall enclosure are two sub-regions that are separated from each other by gas-tight paneling. One of these sub-regions (i.e., a service region) contains at least one electrically-operated (e.g., solenoid-operated) valve that is serially connected within service utilities (e.g., water or gas) piping so as to control flow therethrough. The other sub-region (i.e., a utility controller region) contains electrical controls for controlling the valve(s) and communicating with other services such as an auxiliary monitoring system (e.g., a fire alarm system). Digital electronics capability is employed and facilitates provision of numerous features including: emergency shut down by anyone while permitting reset only by authorized personnel; modular construction so as to facilitate initial installation of the overall enclosure including the aforementioned service region followed subsequently (if desired) by addition of the utility controller module. Paneling and gasketing provide separate integrity of the subregions so that they may be included within the same overall enclosure while providing for safety from leakage
