Municipal increases JHB

[maumau]

Has anybody checked their latest municipal account? These are our increases (JHB):

Rates up by 6% appox
Sewer up by 14% approx
Refuse removal up by 6.5% approx

I couldn't work out the water increase because it's charged in Steps.

My refuse removal went down. They went from a per-bin charge to a per-property charge.
It was originally supposed to increase by about 100% - there was a massive backlash organised by our ward councillors.

Seems to have gone down ever so slightly

Looked to me as if things went up around 6% as well
