\u2019n Inwoner van Langebaan is stomgeslaan oor hul ho\u00eb munisipale waterrekening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die inwoner het aan Weslander<\/span> vertel dat die skok einde Julie gekom het met \u2019n rekening van sowat R16 980, waar dit gewoonlik tussen R1 000 en R1 900 \u2019n maand is. Soos die inwoner verduidelik het, het sy en haar man \u2019n erf in Langebaan gekoop en in 2020 begin bou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns het begin met papierwerk by die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit (SBM) vir aansoeke om water-, riool- en vullis-aansluitings. Die betaling vir die aansluitings is ingesluit in die bedrag van R4 078,10. Ons het in September \u2019n rekening van die SBM begin kry, waarop net tariewe, riool en vullis is, maar geen watergebruik was nie. Ek het maandeliks kontak gemaak met SBM om uit te vind wat aangaan, maar niemand kon my \u2019n regte antwoord gee nie,\u201d vertel sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Met maandelikse betalings aan die munisipaliteit soos deur hul rekening aangedui en met geen agterstallige betalings nie, was die enorme bedrag \u2019n groot verrassing vir die paartjie. N\u00e1 heelwat kommunikasie en navrae het die inwoner vasgestel dat SBM \u2019n fout gemaak om nie watergebruik op die rekening aan te dui nie. Wat verstommend is vir die paartjie is hoe di\u00e9 fout vir die afgelope vier jaar nie deur die SBM gesien is nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Tereza Burger, \u2019n woordvoerder van die SBM, het die verbruiker in 2020 aansoek gedoen om dienste en \u2019n rekening is in hul naam geopen. \u201cDie munisipaliteit het verkeerdelik voortgegaan om waterverbruik op die rekening van die vorige eienaar te hef. Die fout is onlangs opgetel en alle heffings is na die rekening van die huidige eienaar oorgeplaas. Die eienaar is behoorlik hieroor ingelig en het erken dat hulle die water gebruik het. Daar was ook \u2019n verantwoordelikheid op die eienaar om ons naaste munisipale kantoor te besoek en navraag te doen oor hoekom waterverbruik nie op hul munisipale rekening gereflekteer is nie. Die munisipaliteit het nie \u2019n rekord dat die eienaar ons munisipale kantore besoek het tot onlangs toe die rekening aangepas is nie,\u201d voeg Burger by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hoewel die inwoners nie die kantoor besoek het nie, beklemtoon hulle daar is by verskeie geleenthede met die munisipaliteit kontak gemaak \u2013 sonder enige sukses. Die inwoner wonder ook oor hoeveel ander mense deur dieselfde situasie gaan en voel die munisipaliteit moet aanspreeklik gehou word vir hierdie soort probleme. Burger voeg by die eienaar het \u2019n dispuut verklaar waarop die munisipaliteit gereageer en aangedui het die rekening wat afgelewer is, is akkuraat en bly betaalbaar. \u201cDie eienaar het toe app\u00e8l aangeteken en die app\u00e8l word tans deur die app\u00e8l-owerheid oorweeg.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Inwoner van Langebaan is stomgeslaan oor hul
