70,000 customers eligible for water disconnection

Senai has noted with concern significant growth in their domestic customer debt stating that the corporation is currently owed a whopping P1.2 billion with around P700 million being domestic customer debt. He stated the remaining debt is for government, being council departments and businesses. “This indicates that most of these domestic accounts are not being paid monthly as expected and in line with the contractual obligations. We are therefore, appealing with customers to pay their water bills and make the necessary payment arrangements to bring their accounts up to date,” pleads Senai.

WUC had ceased water disconnections back in 2020 in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19 following a call by the President Mokgweetsi Masisi. Senai told Mmegi that SoE has ended on September 30, 2021 and things are back to normal hence stiff action will be taken against debtors.
