The electricity goes to the house that the landlord owns, so I don't' have a problem with that. However, if you still live in the home and he is obliged to provide water, he may be breaking state law if he did it before he evicted you. Call legal aid.

It is an invasion of privacy but the Landlord's action in pulling the water meter will give you a serious cause of action against the landlord.
