Unreasonable FEES

how do you calculate your fees ismetering?

My water bill is R327.45 and you added a disconnection fee R517.50 + 10% fee for an incorrect reference which was provided by them on the sms + R253.16 demand letter and another R1344 will be added if I don't pay the fees.

I don't mind paying fees but they must be reasonable and those fees can assist in paying the water bill for the next 2 months

Good day

Kindly send me your account number. I will have a look at the  sms send to you. Payment reminders were send to accounts in arrears via email and sms. 
Demand letters are only send after disconnection took place and no payment is made, the R1344 is for the restrictor to be put in. This is to ensure all water money are collected to pay the full COT account, to avoid the whole building to be disconnect due to short payment. Our fees are based on the COT fees per action.

Good day,

The account number provided looks like your CDI number for Electricity purchases- electricity is pay-as-you-use, please provide the water account number.
