Comments

I'm signing because you should do meter readings monthly and charge monthly what according to valid and real usage.Charging in arrears and in advance is not acceptable.
Our economy is terrible and we don't have extra money monthly

I'm signing because you should do your jobs and make sure you charge on a monthly basis and that the accounts are 100%.Arrears and advance charges are unaccpetable

I'm signing because it's another way for you to steel money... credit 3 years of interim readings including the waste at rate of 3 years ago and then charge for that same period the new rate. You get paid to read every month, do just do you jobsSusan Van Wyk (Gerdview , 2024-04-25)

We diligently take our photos and send through using the COe app only to find that they charge interim readings. This is frustrating. They are obviously lazy.Edward Kanniah (Germiston , 2024-04-25)

The laziness and ineptitude of the city has lead to them charging 3 months at a time. This is unfair and it is NOT working. Bills are inflated and inaccurate!Carl Dos Santos (Ekurhuleni, 2024-04-25)

I am getting high bills due to interm meter readings.We do not have a swimming pool, we do not water our garden, and we do not wash our cars at home.
Still we get a monthly bill between R500-R1000 and that for two people!

I'm signing because I followed the amounts shown on the CoE website and ended up with amounts which were incorrect. This lead me with a bill of R70000+ which is absurd, even though readings were captured. This is unacceptable as the CoE website gave the wrong amounts which led to me being behind in my payments so that they billed me for unpaid amounts. So I believe that this was their mistake which I now have to pay this unacceptable amount, and I'm a pensioner who has had to pay this amount with an agreement in place to pay off the arrears as the amount is more than twice my pension fund pays me every monthWilliam John Harper (Germiston, 2024-04-25)

It's a ridiculous amount that pensioners must find 😒Storm Landsman (Germiston, 2024-04-25)

Tired of either incorrect meter readings on water and electricity,or no readings,then ITERIM READINGS ARE BILLED. Then suddenly someone decides to do what they paid for, and we get billed some crazy amounts. Then try to sort out and you are shoved from pillar to post because none of the staff knows what needs to be done. THEN THE OLD STORY WITH GOVERNMENT, PAY NIW AND WE WILL SORT OUT LATER.Yvonne Petersen (Johannesburg , 2024-04-25)

If the municipality is paying people to read the meters then why should we have interim readings. Interim reading last month March was 15kl in April we have a 50kl interim reading. The municipality needs to get it right!!!Anita Long (Alberton , 2024-04-25)

I'm signing this petition because I am sick and tired of interim water readings. The app works well but the information submitted doesn't get used. Plus, how do we know if the readings when finally captured are billed at the staggered rate charge?Sena Farquhar (Alberton, 2024-04-25)

Interim readings are at best, laziness snd at worst, a ploy to generate large amounts of money in advance.Ivan Shapiro (Ekurhuleni , 2024-04-25)

It is irrational to receive these readings and no one can afford to pay them. Contractors receive fees to take actual readings, what are they doing if not take the actual readings, and where does tat money go ( once again!!)Dalene Woest (Alberton, 2024-04-25)

Interim readings are not a true reflection of usage and customers end up being overcharged and when the account needs to be rectified additional intervention is required to personally go in to the municipality to have the account rectified which is a huge inconvenience.Gulzar Khan (GERMISTON, 2024-04-25)
