Weekends and public holidays from 08:00 am to 03:00 pm. For identification purposes, the water meter readers will be carrying an identification card and will be wearing s reflective jackets.

2. Residents can easily determine how much water is used – deducting the current reading from the previous reading will tell you how many units of water have been used.
3. Consumers who have in the past sent water meter readings via email to the previous service provider, Ikapa, must please note the change in an email address for this purpose to meterreadings@george.gov.za
4. If your bill seems incorrect or suspiciously high, it is most likely due to:
• Water leak
• Human Error
