Services supplied by the municipality include:
+ Regular refuse removal.
+ Safe disposal of sewerage
+ Provision of clean water and a reliable electricity supply (the consumer is billed directly for these every month).
Water and electricity charges are based on actual consumption. In the case of debit meters, consumption is determined by readings taken from the meters. In the case of pre-payment meters, the meter will be "charged" with units.
Charges for refuse removal depend on the usage of a property. Businesses, such as restaurants and supermarkets, are charged a higher fee than domestic consumers because of the nature and volume of the refuse to be collected.
Sewerage charges are determined by the number of sewer points (toilets and urinals) on a property.
