Going downhill

I've been renting the same unit for a year and my water and sanitation bill has been roughly the same all year. I've had zero issues. Now suddently it's doubled - but when looking at their July 2024 rates tarrif - you cannot see why. They cannot answer why water has increased from around R45 / 11 KL to R293 / 18KL, or why sanitation has increased from around R30.00 / 11KL - to R182 / 18KL. Now they're threatening with final demands, but cannot answer my queries or give an explanation as to the increase.

Thanks for sending a letter of demand while your team takes their time and tries to explain why the bill is double what it should be. Also, thanks for charging me R 172.50 for the letter of demand, not!!!! Horrible service when I merely have a query why my bill is double, and no one can explain why.

I only recived the resposne this morning, after enquiring since the 20th of September for clarity on why my account is double. The email send this monrning still does not explain why the rates don't match the tarrif card. And the letter of demand was sent yesterday, when it's clear I am trying I've been trying to sort this out and get an explanation since the 20th of September.
