BEWARE OF STAYING ANYWHERE WHERE FUNGI UTILITIES ARE THE UTILITIES COMPANY
Good people beware of having Fungi Utilities as your complex utilities provider. Read the google reviews, research.
MORE IMPORTANTLY UNDERSTAND HOW EACH RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX CHARGES WATER, ELECTRICITY, SANITATION AND MANAGEMENT FEES. I queried my bills and was given misleading and incorrect information. If you have a wall socket in the ON position and NO plug in that socket YOU WILL NOT BE USING ELECTRICITY AT ALL. DO NOT BE MISLEAD.
Fungi's billing is very suspect, it seems they charge for electricity and water even when NO one is staying at a unit in ECOPARK EAST, CENTURION.
GET FULL DISCLOSURE from M&T Residentials on how you will be charged for water and electricity..
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
AT ECOPARK EAST, THERE IS NO SEPEARTE WATER METERS AND YOU ARE CHARGED AN AVARAGE PER BLOCK. IF YOU ARE SINGLE YOU PAY THE WATER FOR EXTRA PERSONS IN OTHER UNITS.
UNFAIR, THANKS TO FUNGI.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We would like to clarify the points raised regarding utility billing at Eco Park East.
As you have correctly noted, the development has one water meter each block, rather than individual water meters for each unit. It is therefore not possible to measure each unit's individual water consumption. The water consumption is consequently allocated pro rata in accordance with the applicable billing arrangement for the development, including water used for hot water.
Electricity is different, as your unit has an individual electricity meter. Electricity is billed according to the actual consumption recorded on your meter.
It is also important to clarify that electricity consumption does not only occur when someone is actively using an appliance. Appliances or equipment that remain plugged in and operating can continue to consume electricity, even when the unit is unoccupied.
For example, our meter records show that your unit continued to record approximately 0.60 kWh per day from 7 to 11 August 2026, which indicates that electricity was still being consumed during the period the unit was vacant. This could be from appliances or equipment remaining connected and operating.
We therefore do not charge electricity simply because a unit is occupied or unoccupied. The individual electricity meter records the actual electricity consumed, and that recorded consumption is what is billed.
We trust the above clarifies how water and electricity are billed at Eco Park East. Should you require any further clarification on your account or the applicable billing arrangement, please contact our Support Team at ***, or call *** we will be happy to assist.
Kind Regards
