Buyer to turn utilities (water/ Gas) on for inspection

I am under contract as a buyer on one of the investment property in Indianapolis which fell through due to issues found during inspection. I am backing out however I was asked to turn the utilities ON from Citizens utility company for inspection which I did. Not sure if that is normal as ideally seller should do that. It was a regular MLS listing and not any bank owned or distressed one. There was no deposit or starting cost asked by Citizens other than my social. Did I make any mistake for doing that instead of asking the seller to do (my inexperience probably)? I am going to call them tomorrow to shut them off but wanted to check if any one has any experience with this and what should I expect tomorrow.
