South Africa and more specifically the Western Cape Province, is experiencing a water crisis because of drought. Stellenbosch Municipality is currently implementing several water conservation and water demand management initiatives to reduce water losses. Initiatives include replacing old water services infrastructure, an active leak repair program and a water meter audit. Following the successful completion of the Phase 1 water meter audit in Klapmuts, Phase 2 of the water meter audit will include the inspection of all water meters in Dwarsrivier. Each property will be visited to verify the location, condition of the water meter and all relevant municipal information. This process will ensure that the municipal database is updated and water consumption is accurately billed. This will result in the improvement of service delivery levels to all consumers.
Officials and representatives of Stellenbosch Municipality will have to enter the property to inspect the water meter. All personnel will be identifiable as members of the project team by means of their uniform and identification. The success of this initiative is hugely dependent on the co-operation of you as consumer.
Stellenbosch Municipality thank you in advance for making this initiative possible.
