Why is my water bill high?

• High water bills are caused when used or leaks in a pipe on the consumer side.

Why there is Zero water consumption and what do I do?

• When you see Zero consumption on your bill notify the Municipality at 067 221056.
• When you see Zero consumption it means the meter is damaged or faulty and could not read.
• We humbly edge the consumers to check their water bills on a regular basis,

How will I spot a leak or pipe burst and what do I do in order to see whether I have a leak?

1. If you think you might have a leak, take the following steps:
2. Turn off all taps and appliances that use water.
3. Wait for 30 minutes then take the meter reading.
4. Do not open any taps or appliances for 1 – 2 hours, then take another meter reading
5. Compare both readings, if you have not used any water and the reading have changed it means you probably have a leak.
   NB: Get a registered plumber to fix your leak and if it exceeds 60cubic, take the plumber’s invoice to the Accountant Revenue: Mrs Josephina Shikukutu or email to jshikutukutu@tsumebmun.org.na 

Check regularly for leaks and signs

• Check the usage dates printed on your bill on the left side under meter reading dates.
• Check leaking toilets.
• A faucet dripping slowly, a faucet one drop every 2 seconds could waste a lot of water.
• Geyser pipes leaks in the wall.
• Damp patches in your property or outside.
• Irrigation valves (Sprinkler valves) check valves regularly and replace when broken.
• Lush grass where there is little irrigation could also be a sign.
  NOTE: Call in a registered plumber to investigate, if you are not sure of the side you call the Municipality at 067 221056 or mail to evanwyk@tsumebmun.org.na
• NOTE: If consumers spot a leak in the road, street or footpath, kindly call 067 221004 as early as possible.
