Metro announces tariff increases

The Ekurhuleni Metro’s MMC for finance, Clr Moses Makwakwa, delivered the 2015/2016 budget speech in the council chambers at the Germiston Civic Centre yesterday.

Residents should get ready to dig into their pockets to accommodate the following tariff increases:

  • 7.5 percent increase in assessment rates.
  • An average of 12. 2 percent for electricity.
  • 14.5 percent for water.
  • 9.5 percent for sanitation.
  • 8 percent for refuse removal.

There will be no tariff increases for cemeteries, libraries and recreational halls and the hiring and use of sports and recreational facilities.
