Indigent residents are warned not to abuse their benefit of receiving free water and electricity from the Randfontein Local Municipality.
The municipality is putting its foot down and says those who exceed their amount of free water and electricity will have to pay for whatever they further consume.
Municipal head of communication Phillip Montshiwa says the municipality cannot be lenient in this regard.
“Households that earn an income of less than R2 800 per month are permitted free water and electricity on a monthly basis to assist them as they cannot afford municipal services.
“However, we do ask that they use such services sparingly and stick within the brackets of the amounts allowed,” says Montshiwa. He adds that those who exceed these will be charged the difference.
