Know your metering options and obligations:
The City of Cape Town has approved new bylaws which require the owner of a property or those managing the property to install and maintain both:
1. an isolating valve for the water meter
2. a water management device or prepaid meter or sub meters (if not already installed)
The owner of the property or those responsible for the management of the property must also:
1. Monitor and record the monthly water usage
2. Report any water usage that exceeds water restrictions or usage within 21 days, so that the City of Cape Town can take the necessary action
3. Keep the records for at least 24 months
New developments must install water conservation and demand management systems, or alternative water systems.
The owner of the property remains liable to the City for payment of the prescribed charges for all water supplied to the premises through such a meter, irrespective of the different quantities consumed by the different consumers served by such meter.
