water and electricity supply meters and cost of amount consumed
I am sure that this is what is meant, as 'contador' is 'meter'. It might be gas as well if that is on meter. A somewhat clumsy expression I know- you might be able to put it more elegantly. (Presumably 'suminitros' is a typo for 'suministros')

Comment: "Thanks so much, Karen. I usually translate from the French but was pressed into translating from the Spanish as well this time around. Your help was invaluable. Best."
