  2. Start Des Moines electric service with MidAmerican Energy about 3–5 business days out. Signup is direct with MidAmerican Energy — Des Moines has no plan-shopping step.
  3. Set up water and sewer. Water service here varies by address — your lookup result will name the district to contact, which may be a municipal utility district (MUD) rather than the city.
  4. Keep your confirmation numbers. Des Moines landlords and title companies often want proof that Des Moines utilities are in your name from day one.
