<h2 class="sectHeading">Guidelines for indigent households</h2></span>
<p> All indigent residents on the domestic tariff receive 6 kilolitres of water free every month (averaged over the year), after which you pay for water usage. If you are an indigent support household, you will receive an additional allocation of 4,5 litres of water.</p><p>If you are indigent, accepting a water management device can assist you in the following ways:</p><ul><li>Council fixes or replaces all faulty plumbing in your house free of charge (once-off repairs)</li><li>All your arrears are written off – no limit (once-off)</li><li>You receive 350 litres of water per day (10.5 kl per month) free of charge</li><li>The water demand management device is installed free of charge</li></ul><p> However, it is important to note that you will only be provided with 350 litres of water per day. Once 350 litres of water has passed through the device, you won't receive any more water until the device resets the next morning (usually at 04:00). Please keep a standby supply of water handy in case this happens. You will also be responsible for future plumbing repairs. </p>
