\u2019n Vredenburger se plan om minder vir elektrisiteit te betaal, het \u2019n terugslag gekry aangesien sy munisipale rekeninge steeds duisende rande beloop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Theuns Erasmus het in Desember \u2019n nuwe sonpaneel-stelstel aangebring om minder afhanklik van Eskom te wees en ook om \u2019n paar rand te spaar. Di\u00e9 plan het egter nie gewerk nie en Erasmus s\u00ea sy elektrisiteitsrekening oor die afgelope maande was altesaam byna R80 000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDeur die dag gebruik ek glad nie munisipale elektrisiteit nie. Ons is drie in die huis, en hoewel ek \u2019n koelkamer het, kan ek nie glo die kragrekening kan s\u00f3 hoog wees nie. Die koelkamer word nie eens altyd gebruik nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is slegs in die nag, om en by 03:00, dat ek munisipale elektrisiteit gebruik, maar dan is dit ook net tot 06:00 wanneer die sonkragstelsel weer inskop,\u201d het hy aan Weslander <\/i>verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erasmus het sy buurman, Ben Strydom, om hulp gevra aangesien Strydom die stelsel ge\u00efnstalleer het en self ook van sonpanele gebruik maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strydom, \u2019n gekwalifiseerde installasie-elektrisi\u00ebn, meen daar is gewis fout tussen die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit se lesings en sy buurman se verbruik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy stelsel is kleiner as syne [Erasmus s\u2019n] en my munisipale kragrekening is minimaal \u2013 \u2019n paar honderd rand in vergelyking met sy duisende,\u201d s\u00ea Strydom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Strydom het hy self lesings by Erasmus se kragboks en sy eie gedoen en volgens wat hy kan waarneem, gebruik hulle geen munisipale elektrisiteit deur die dag nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inteendeel, albei se stelsels wek meer elektrisiteit op as wat hulle verbruik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By navraag het Ethne Lawrence, \u2019n munisipale woordvoerder, ges\u00ea n\u00e1 \u2019n ondersoek is geen fout aan die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit se kant gevind nie en Erasmus sal steeds sy elektrisiteitsrekening moet betaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie probleem wat nie opgelos is nie, is die verbruiker se probleem. Die raad kan egter nie verbruikers se probleme sonder kostes hanteer nie, dus moet mnr. Erasmus \u2019n ingenieur op eie koste aanstel om sy probleem uit te klaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMnr. Erasmus se fout is wel sonder koste deur die raad ondersoek, hoewel sy stelsel nie \u2013 soos voorgeskryf is \u2013 by die raad geregistreer is nie, en steeds nie is nie. Enige verdere ondersoeke sal teen volle betaling geskied,\u201d het sy verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Lawrence het die munisipaliteit bevind Erasmus is nie geregistreer vir terugvoer van elektrisiteit nie, maar sy stelsel het duidelik teruggevoer in die munisipale netwerk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSou die eienaar sy stelsel geregistreer het, sou die korrekte meter ge\u00efnstalleer gewees het. N\u00e1 installasie van die korrekte meter word \u2019n afsluiting van die vorige meter gedoen, en omdat die meterlesings een maand laat gehef word, het die eienaar dus in Maart vir twee maande se verbruik betaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is normaal vir alle verbruikers wat afsluit, omskakel en van meter verander,\u201d het sy verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erasmus s\u00ea op sy beurt hy is bereid om sy munisipale rekening te betaal solank die probleem met sy lesing eens en vir altyd uitgesorteer word. Hy meen indien daar fout met sy lesing is, is daar dalk ook fout met inwoners s\u2019n waarvan hulle dalk onbewus is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lawrence s\u00ea indien inwoners alternatiewe elektrisiteitstoevoer gebruik, soos in Erasmus se geval, moet dit by die munisipaliteit geregistreer word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strydom s\u00ea hy en Erasmus is aanges\u00ea om die registrasievorm binne sewe dae in te dien, of hul munisipale elektriese toevoer sal afgesny word. Strydom meen di\u00e9 aandrang van die munisipaliteit is boelietaktiek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het vandeesweek aan Weslander<\/i> ges\u00ea hy span nou kenners in om die registrasievorm te bestudeer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIndien die munisipaliteit ons elektrisiteit wil afsny, sal hy elke ander inwoner met sonpanele s\u2019n ook moet afsny, want wat vir een geld, geld vir almal,\u201d meen hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die munisipaliteit s\u00ea enige inwoner wat vermoed iets is fout met sy elektrisiteitsrekening moet dit by die elektrisiteitsafdeling aanmeld sodat dit tegnies ondersoek kan word, waarna, indien nodig, dit na die finansi\u00eble afdeling verwys sal word om die rekening reg te stel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
