utility=* key is already widely used and expect one single value, in every
situation.
Please don't introduce utility=power;gas;waste.

I've also answered here about its usage in this proposal
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Power_utility_office#Use_sub-key_instead

I'm not sure tagging offices with utility=* is really suitable for the
current definition: offices aren't involved in production, transmission,
distribution or delivery of power, telecommunications, gas, whatever.

All the best

François
