Cutting or trimming trees and shrubs near power lines is extremely dangerous and can lead to extended power outages for your area, fires, and serious safety risks for you and your neighbors.
Do not take any chances.
Before starting any tree work or hiring a tree cutting service, always check for overhead electrical lines.
If power lines are in the vicinity of your planned work and could be affected, contact George Municipality Electrotechnical Services immediately during office hours at the numbers below.
An official will come out to inspect the area and determine if it’s safe to proceed. If the tree cutting is considered too risky, the municipality will arrange to shut down the electricity and handle the tree removal safely.
Please contact us at least 48 hours prior. Your call will be logged, and you will receive a reference number.
If you notice any trees or vegetation on municipal property that could pose a risk to electrical lines, report it right away. Provide your name, contact information, and the location of the potential hazard.
Your safety and the safety of others is our top priority. Thank you for taking this matter seriously and for your cooperation.

George Municipality urges all ratepayers and municipal clients to be vigilant of scammers posing as municipal officials. The latest case involves an individual named Rodwell Khumalo, falsely claiming to be the “Head of Disconnections.” Please be advised that the Municipality does not have a position titled “Head of Disconnections.”
Previously, we received reports about another scammer, Kenny Ngene, also falsely claiming to hold the same position at George Municipality. These scammers use various names and titles to impersonate municipal officials (see attached screenshot).
Their method involves sending WhatsApp messages or making phone calls to ratepayers, demanding large payments into unknown bank accounts to avoid prepaid meter blocks. Please be assured that these individuals are not representatives or employees of George Municipality.
IMPORTANT:
• The Municipality will not send officials to ratepayers’ properties for blocking/unblocking services or payment arrangements.
• The Municipality will never contact ratepayers via WhatsApp or phone calls requesting large payments to unblock a prepaid meter.
• Prepaid meters are only blocked if there are outstanding payments on your municipal account, and only after multiple SMS notifications to your registered number have been ignored.
For issues related to account or meter blocking, please communicate directly with the Municipality.
To UNBLOCK your prepaid meter, follow one of these steps:
• Full payment of your municipal account
• Payment arrangement
• Apply for an Indigent Subsidy if you qualify (2 x SASSA)

Our Civils Team was able to successfully locate the problem and have successfully restored water supply to all residents.
The George Municipality is aware of complaints about a water outage in parts of Conville. We can confirm that the outage is not related to a burst pipe and that the team is currently on site locating the issue.
A standpipe has been installed opposite Conville Primary School on Swawel Street, and a water truck will roam the area to provide water to residents.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this water outage.
