BODACIOUS METER RATES FOR WATER ARE RIGGED!

I must say in all my years of adulthood i have never come across more *********** people than this company. I live in a flat where me and my roomate are absent for about 13hrs / 24hrs a day yet our bill comes to R 460.00 monthly. MONTHLY??!!! YES MONTHLY!!??? FXKN RIDICULOUS.

>>>>>>READ BELOW<<<<<<<< "City water costs on average 4c per litre compared to R10 per litre for shop-bought bottled water. Based on the first 10 500 litres of water used, the average bill will be R411. 99 on the no-restriction, water-wise tariff."

What the FXK so basically me and my roomate use 10 500 Litres/month? What are we bathing the whole ****** complex? Over 10tons of water bro??? Lol I need bodacious to backpay my money. Called for a statement for 6months I havent received it. This is utter bull to say the least

Educate us, clearly between you and Comet Oaks somebody is lying. I need to know why the water is this much. Even my colleagues living in Sandton dont pay R500.00 on water. Who is taking our money. Bodacious or Comet Oaks

Dear James

I have noted your comments  but note that you did not disclose any information on where you stay or who you requested your water statements from. 

Please be advised that we NEVER EVER create water tariffs and follow the municipal tariffs as published by the municipality and calculate the amount due as per the consumption reflected on the water meters.

We have no control what you do inside your flat, how much water you use or whether your flat is being maintained properly with regard to dripping taps, leaking geysers and faulty flushing devices. That is something that is under your control, not ours.
We rely only on the information we obtain from the water meters. 

You are welcome to send me your details on *** and I will gladly send you your detailed utility slips.

Yours faithfully
Madeleen

You are indeed not the first person in Ekurhuleni to complain about high water bills. This is the first year that Ekurhuleni has decided to take away the benefit of free water to all households that are not registered as indigents and it has resulted in a huge outcry. Regrettably the anger is aimed at us instead of at the municipality, which is something I do not understand.

With regard to your question as to who receives the money for the water recovered the answer is the Body Corporate of Comet Oaks, not Bodacious, and the Body Corporate uses the money they receive to pay the Ekurhuleni account received by Comet Oaks.
