The Acting Municipal Manager of Ngwathe Local Municipality Dr Futhuli Mothamaha has confirmed that Rand Water has increased water supply to Heilbron.
This comes after the municipality entered into an agreement with the water utility on a payment plan, in the interests of the residents of Heilbron, Sandersville, and Phiritona, respectively.
The municipality experienced decreased water distribution as a result of financial challenges until the Acting Municipal Manager assembled a financial turnaround team that focused on, inter alia, revenue enhancement strategy while prioritizing service delivery.
Accordingly, the municipality managed to pay R20 million to Rand Water hence the subsequent improvement in terms of water supply. Rand Water has increased water supply to above 8mgl/day, furthermore, the municipality humbly requests the community to use water responsibly.
