To no fault of their own, residents in a Johannesburg estate are being hit with massive water penalties.
Residents of Tirong Estate in Johannesburg are being charged over R20,000 in penalties for illegal water connections, with some water bills now sitting at over R60,000 – and neither the City nor the developer has done anything to help the homeowners.
The estate comprises 638 single-family homes, with floor plans ranging from 40.5 square meters to 80 sqm. Following an inquiry submitted by the Tirong Estate residents into the matter in August 2023, the CoJ’s Building Development Management , Johannesburg Water, the ward councillor, and the developer held a meeting to address the problem.
