City of Cape Town Municipality rips off people

For some odd reason I have been calling the municipal offices to try and get some assistance with the water meter that they fitted to the already existing old school meter that came with my property when I bought it.

What I have been complaining about is the inconsistencies of the rates and taxes that have been levied on me as an owner as the figures are always estimated and not true actual readings.... And when I query that, whoever that answers the calls in most cases they sell you lies by telling you that they will send out someone and that never happens and even when you ask for a reference number, they hang up on you before you get one... When you follow up on the call, you start the process all over again to no avail.

I suspect that the municipality is remotely toying with my water pressure, but they bill me exorbitant amounts in water usage and I stay in a household of just two adults and an infants.

But one finds himself paying in excess of R1000. 00 almost every month, only now since lockdown am I really getting a true reflection of my usage and amazingly my usage has dropped drastically.

Someone needs to audit the municipal offices of City of Cape Town because I suspect that they are cooking the books and residents bear the brunt of thier greed.
