Stellenbosch forced to cut services

In a last attempt to get people to pay for services, Stellenbosch Municipality says it will be forced to terminate water and electricity supply from the 2nd of next month to those who refuse to make arrangements for payment. Several reminders have been issued that debtors should contact the municipal offices. Although many people reacted and settled their debt or entered into arrangements to pay it off, almost three-thousand people in arrears have ignored the warnings. The municipality has appointed a service provider that will start cutting off the water and electricity supply to these consumers next month.
