## Have your say – shape this policy.

**Error:** Contact form not found.

**Water**

Rand Water indicated a tariff **increase** of **15 percent**, which is also the 
same as the 2019/20 increase. This increase must still be approved at Cabinet level
as it forms part of administered prices.

**Sanitation**

ERWAT proposes a tariff **increase** of **11 percent** on sanitation, which is also
the same as last year. This is based on the increase in input costs such as fuel
and chemicals and to address backlogs on sewer network maintenance.

**Refuse Removal**

As in the previous year, the refuse removal tariff **increase** is proposed to remain
the same at **7.5 percent** for all users. This is largely based on the increase
of the main cost drivers of the service such as fuel and lubricants and vehicle 
operating costs.

The 7.5 percent increase does not take into consideration costs such as provision
for doubtful debts and depreciation charges. Substantial tariff increases would 
be required to fully fund the service.

**Electricity**

The electricity tariff increases are based on NERSA approval of Eskom application.
At the moment the **increase** is** 6.9 percent** for** bulk** purchases from Eskom
and **6.6 percent** for sales to **customers.**

These figures are subject to NERSA’s final approval.

**Bus Tariff**

the municipal bus services tariff increases. This increases by an average of **3.85
percent** and **4.35 percent.** This is less than the CPI of **4.5 percent.**
