High Water bills dent council coffers

Opening the sub-district’s first session of the full council meeting yesterday, the council chairperson Driver Motlokwa said that the council is still faced with a serious problem of high water bills in primary schools.

He said that three of the schools, Taumanthe, Serameng and Gabane were only connected during the last week of the month after agreeing to settle their combined arrears amounting to P3,928,070.45 by February 2014. Motlokwa said the council will intensify its investigation on the high bills in due course.
