Johannesburg Water said its disconnection drive has restarted.
On Monday alone, about 15 customers were disconnected in gated communities and
complexes in the south and north of Johannesburg.
JW said these customers owe a collective R2.7
million.
Disconnections were in Glenvista, Sunninghill, and Buccleuch.
Siphindile Ngange, Johannesburg Water’s Senior Manager: Metering and Revenue, said “this is part of our efforts towards revenue collection, which is crucial for the maintenance and upgrading of the City of Johannesburg’s water and sewer
infrastructure. One customer, for example, owes over R333 000 on their account, while two others owe over R100 000 each.”
He also said customers whose service was disconnected, will have to either make full payments on their accounts or make
payment arrangements with the City’s Credit Management Department.
