Along with a lot of goodies like power saving bulbs, water filters, t-shirts, chocolates, stress balls, soft toys and calenders, he was awarded with this :

It was totally random, he got a call a month or 2 ago informing him he had 'won'. No one really paid attention, until he got an sms last week asking to appear at the DWTC with a recent DEWA Bill. I also recall someone from DEWA stopping by once asking a lot of questions like, when was the last time we were on vacation, size of the apartment, number of people staying and the relations between them.
Basically, they were keeping a watch on a number of customers whose electricity and water consumption has been decreasing over the past few years and we turned out to be one of them!
A very surprising gesture from the government of Dubai! Although I somehow feel they went a little overboard with the 'prize' and freebies, I have noticed DEWA making a lot of efforts on creating awareness. Sometime last year they were handing out pamphlets on ways and means to minimise unnecessary water and electricity usage.
Are you doing your share at home and work?

Word to the wise, You blocked out the name on the check, smart, but you left the sorting codes on the bottom. Not likely, but technically possible for someone, especially if they work at a bank, especially THAT bank, to know exactly who that check was made out to.
I'd suggest blurring that out too.
Mabrooks! SEWA should/could take note..or perhaps they have?
Kinda funny, but still a pretty decent way to get the message out. Certainly a much better idea than what many agencies and businesses come up with!
Mabrook!
Mabrooks. A good gesture.
thats a wonderful gesture from DEWA.
Perhaps you should post what exactly your family did to minimize consumption... what is the size of your family and how big? if you have ideas that could inspire others, please share.
keep it up

Mabrook! Fantastic.
Thats awesome. Your Dad must be pleased and proud.

Alf Mabruk to your family.
A few questions then: How many showers are you allowed under this strict regime?

Did they put this in the newspaper? I missed it.
