How does utility account affect score?

I just noticed that my light bill is reporting monthly on my EQ report after I got a notice from myfico that my balance had decreased on an account. It is listed as one of my revolving accounts. Now, of course this account will report a balance every month because it is a utility bill. My questions is, how does fico factor in this kind of accounts? Do utility bills count toward my total utilization the same as a credit card would?

I thought these type of bills were not allowed to be reported.

They "can" report if they want to. They generally don't because of the cost incurred. They "should" be reporting as "revolving - other" as account type.
