WATCH | In the pipeline: Joburg residents face stiff hike in water levy from July

Utility seeks R2bn to fund ageing pipes, leaks and reservoir shortages

Johannesburg residents' pockets will soon be hit hard as the city scrambles to raise billions of rand to pay for water infrastructure and to catch up on the maintenance backlog to ensure consistent water supply.

As of July, residents will pay a fixed water levy of about R124 a month, up from R65.08, regardless of how much water a household uses. The money is expected to go towards water infrastructure.

This increase is the latest that residents will have to deal with from next month. The city council recently agreed on an 8.6% hike in electricity rates while water and sanitation is expected to rise by 11%.

people have been charged the service charges which never used as described.

can we charge the city for violation of the service agreement?
 
Fat cANCer piggies need to piggy I guess
 
the biggest JWATER BS is your sewerage charge . you can go away for 1 year and use zero water but that charge remains constant
 
“The money is expected to go towards water infrastructure.”
Expected vs reality is definitely going to be a stark difference. Not a big percentage of that money collected will actually go to fixing infrastructure.
