The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan
Municipality has strongly condemned the illegal water connections in the area.
The municipality loses over
one-hundred-and-twenty kiloliters of water per annum through illegal water
connections.
Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality
Spokesperson Lebogang Ramashala said offenders found with unmetered water
supply due to illegal connections will be liable to a penalty as well as additional
charges, to cover the cost incurred due to damages caused to the network or
connections.
Ramashala added that this is
dangerous in the sense that it can cause much better water outages and
disadvantage the community at large by making an illegal connection you could damage
the pipes that they as a Municipality have layered it down. Connections are not
in the plans and therefore would benefit nobody
