Seeing as I have given up getting assistance from the municipality, I hope a letter in the paper will produce results.
I am a pensioner and very careful with my water consumption. Last year the norm was 6kl or 7kl.
I am now getting readings ranging from 2kl to 11kl.
I have a reference number given to me on January 22, requesting my meter be checked.
A reading was sent in when requested but seems to have been ignored.
My meter is just inside my property next to a low wall so it can be read at anytime by anyone.
I decided to go to the municipal offices in Walmer to speak to someone about the problem.
I wasn’t greeted and when I started trying to explain, I just got “ID” barked at me.
I’m afraid it was very frustrating and it got heated.
When I asked for the man’s name, he swore at me and left.
