An example:

For example, a domestic customer on a full-pressure water supply, using 35kl in one month, would be charged as follows:

  Old New
Fixed charge R76,16 R83,43
9 kl (x R0) nil nil
16 kl (x R8,47) R135,52 R148,32
5 kl (x R11,29) R56,45 R61,80
5 kl (x R17,41) R87,05 R95,30
Total charge for month (excl VAT) R355,18 R388,85

The tariff has been structured for domestic customers so that the first 9kl of water is free. This has been done to provide a life-sustaining supply to the very poor.
