Only if you go deliquint and they send you to collection will it be reported to your credit report. Unfortunatly, if you pay your utilities on time, for the duration of your life, the GOOD credit will never be reported, but if they send you to collections, you bet it will land on your credit report. Gas, Electric, and Cable - all three may send you to collections if you fall more than 90 days past due. I have never seen water reported as this is a public utility, and towns have other ways of collecting past due accounts (by placing liens or simply shutting you off) than by sending you to a collection agency.
There are some utility companies, PECO (Pennsylvania Electric Company) comes to mind, that immediately report their customers as delinquent when a utility bill is late. The same is true with child support enforcement. Pay it on time and "no show", pay it late, even once and it's all over your credit report for the next seven years.

How can you build and protect your credit rating?
You can build your rating by making sure you pay bills on time. Unfortunately, if you don't have a bank/building society account or credit/store cards or pay utility bills, it is virtually impossible to build a credit rating. Having said that, if you pay utility bills, even on prepayment meters, your details are "logged" with credit reference agencies and you have a rating. If you fall behind with payments it can take up to 7 years to repair the "bad" rating as that is how far back the complete record goes.
