How do I connect DEWA electricity and water for a new property?

Register with DEWA and pay a refundable security deposit of about AED 2,000 for an apartment or AED 4,000 for a villa, plus an activation fee of roughly AED 110-155. Supply is usually activated within about one working day. A 5% housing fee on the property's annual rental value is then billed monthly via DEWA.
