Media statement 16 April 2024
Cllr Nasiphi Moya
Deputy Mayor
Community and Social Development Services
The City of Tshwane is pleased to announce the commencement of a water meter audit drive in Hammanskraal this week. The initiative follows the recent launch of the Magalies Water Package Plant project, which aims to ensure clean water supply to the residents of Hammanskraal by September 2024.
The audit team has started their work in Hammanskraal West and is scheduled to cover all affected areas within Hammanskraal by 31 July 2024.
Following the auditing process, water meter replacements and new water meter installations will be concluded by 30 September 2024 as more meters might be identified for replacement during the audit.
As part of the meter audit process, City officials and contracted service providers will also do data collection in the area. This will involve activities such as opening and closing water taps, recording water meter numbers and readings, and confirming physical and street addresses.
The city calls on Hammanskraal residents to please cooperate with officials and service providers during the audit process. It is essential for residents to allow access to their yards for the necessary inspections. A successful audit will ensure that the City’s water systems are prepared to receive and supply water to the affected areas in Hammanskraal.
In my capacity as the Deputy Mayor together with MMC for Utility Services Cllr Themba Fosi, we will both play an oversight role over the meter auditing process in order ensure that we deliver metered drinking tap water for the people of Hammanskraal.
For confirmation of the auditors’ identities, residents can contact the City of Tshwane on 012 358 9062.
