Gas Electricity Water puzzle can't be done?

Someone who works in the office at my job asked if I had seen 'The puzzle'. I couldn't resist. I 'knew' I could figure it out. The idea is that the three houses in the graphic must each recieve all three utilities - gas electricity and water without crossing any lines. 

You can't go under or over and you can't 'steal' from another house. Try as I might I could only complete eight lines. I'm not a purist so I had no problem Googling the puzzle when I suspected there was no solution.

Is there a solution or an explanation?
