George Municipality warns against illegal water connections and tampering

 PROHIBITION OF UNAUTHORISED / ILLEGAL WATER CONNECTIONS AND TAMPERING WITH MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE

George Municipality hereby issues a stern warning to all entities and individuals involved in property development and construction activities within the municipal area regarding the illegal connection to, and/or tampering with, the municipal water supply system.

It is a serious offence, and a direct contravention of the Municipal By-laws, for any person to:
• Make any connection to a main, bulk pipe, reservoir or hydrant without prior written permission.
• By-pass or tamper with a water meter or any part of the water supply system.
• Use municipal water that is not supplied through a registered and metered connection.

Unauthorised connections and tampering with municipal infrastructure compromise public safety, disrupt essential services, reduce water pressure and result in significant revenue loss — ultimately affecting service delivery to law-abiding residents.

Entities found to be in contravention of the By-laws will face immediate and severe penalties, which may include:
Substantial fines levied directly on the owner or developer’s account.

All developers and contractors are urged to ensure strict compliance with the municipal water and sanitation by-laws:
Applications for new water connections, including water meters, can be made at the Client Services section at the George Municipality main building in York Street.

For enquiries, please contact Zaahir Domingo, Engineering Superintendent: Water Distribution, via email at zdomingo@george.gov.za
